She’s sorry, and yet I’m the one being a big meanie head. Basically, she’s holding credit hostage because how dare I protect my copyright.
This repost bitch had to screenshot my art off of GOOGLE in order to steal it, I’m fucking crying I’m laughing so hard!
I have not seen a kid pull “This is inspiration!” card out of their ass in a while. They also shout “Credit to the artist!” as if that makes it okay to steal.
“Money to the cashier!”
This dumbass is poorly RPing @xxtc-96xx‘ Leah and seems confused about how the Lion Guard works. It only works on the second born (coughKodacough). Leah was third born. This person is a dumbass.
For Part Two, I will be using another Insta post that reposted my art without my consent and, after I asked them politely to remove the art, they deleted it and then reposted it to get rid of my watermark.
I want to thank those for keeping me up to date with mentions on who reposts my art. It’s the only way I can find them.
This form is simple but may be complicated to others, so I will try to inform you of what to do. What you first do is select copyright, and then select “Continue with your copyright report.”
That will open up with a new section. Select “I found content which I believe infringes my copyright,” then select “Continue with my copyright report.”
Now an indepth look at this.
- Contact Information is important life blood of any DMCA file. I know it can be scary to give out your personal data but it’s vital if you want them to listen to you and remove your work.
- Content You Want to Report is basically simple. This is where you report the vilating post that stole your character or your artwork.
- Your copyright Work(s) is where you will be providing links to your content on your account or website and providing a .psd file as proof of ownership.
- Declaration is also important as this confirms you’re reporting your stolen content.
Just as it suggests, you fill out all these fields. You file your legal name, and job responsibility. Unless you’re with a business or company that didn’t want something leaked or reposted from the source, just click other/notapplicable in this dropdown menu. Fill out your mailing address and phone number, email address and confirm your email address. For Rights Owner, you’ll want to fill out your full name.
Now we get into the nitty gritty and report the offender. You’ll choose Photo or video, and in the drop down menu you have a few options to choose from. For me, I chose “other,” and wrote that this user has reposted my works without consent.
In the field provided, link to the offending post you wish to report.
We now dive into “Your Copyrighted Work(s)”. Select “Provide your copyrighted work,” and choose from the dropdown menu why you’re reporting this post. This menu offers a ton of reasons.
You can choose to select “A character I created,” if someone has stolen your character and are badly RPing it on Insta. For me, I chose “Artwork I created.”
You’ll then want to link to the deviation or source that the devs can find your artwork. Although this is optional, you can hook up a .psd file to further prove ownership. Although they say they only accept a few formats included .psd, I have had good results with .clip.
Confirm your Declaration and select agree then send, and bing, bang, boom, you’ve successfully filed a DMCA on Insta. Results vary from person to person but I’ve successfully had two accounts removed by filling out the form this way.
So, since there is a situation where people don’t know how to report, here’s a two part tutorial that will help y’all. It’s how I’ve gotten a couple accounts deleted for reposting my art on instagram.
- You’re going to want to click the three dots found beside the username.
- Click Report User.
- You’ll want to choose Other>Other>Intellectual Property Violation.
- IPV will open up into Insta’s Help Center on the topic of Intellectual Property.
- You’ll want to click the blue highlighted link that reads “Learn More About Reporting Copyright Violations.”
- It will open you up to their topic on Copyright.
- Click the blue highlighted link that reads “this form,” it will open up into their DMCA takedown form.
I will further discuss how to report a post on Insta in part two.
