:iconlilnekokatz: still has yet to remove drawings that she traced or to post the links to the bases she has used. I thank the ones that helped me report this. If an account :iconthief-anouncer: or similar will try to harass you, it is her, trying to intimidate you, so simply block it if it does. She also uses other accounts to intimidate people.

I would feel ashamed people would bring this up so many times, and I would simply quit, or include the base or image I had inspiration from in the first place, and it would be different. But there is a big difference between tracing and getting inspired. Count the hidden comments on her "art".

There is no reason to even try to deal with her kindly. She knows what she does is wrong, but does not do anything to change the situation, even if you nicely try to talk with her about it, she will block you, so just silently report, without harassing or bullying.

If you have checked my last journal, I have posted a series of links with artwork she traced or used bases and did not link to them, not to mention she still has the Print option available on them, when she is not supposed to. On some drawings from the past journal she has deleted or updated the base link. Not all... just some. The people that brought up the fact that those drawings are traced, are marked as spam. There are many of her deviations full of marked as spam messages.

Those are the rules of dA:

Prints Agreement

1. Eligibility states:
" You may only submit Artwork for inclusion in the Print Program if you are the sole author of the Artwork and you hold all intellectual property rights in the Artwork."

Here are the remaining drawings that are traced/recolored/uncredited bases:
If you find more, please note me.

Update 17 june 2013
Deactivated her account, but I will check on it from time to time and some accounts I suspect are hers, just to be sure.


Update 26 june 2013
She reactivated her account, but still did not remove the traced drawings or at least credit the bases.

Note: For even more evidence the-hangman-project.deviantart…
Credit to :iconsorika-art:

Update 27 June 2013

:iconlilnekokatz: has deactivated her account (again).

Update 25-26 July 2013
Reactivated the account.

Update 28 July 2013
NOTE! Due some weird happenings:

Please do not harass/bully her. Bullying is a bad thing. Do not insult her, try to get as less contact with her as possible. Simply report her. She will block you even if you try to explain nicely that what she is doing is wrong.


One more thing I noted today is a comment. She uses fourteenthstar.deviantart.com/…  as a "weapon" but, I did not think she read it.

It states:

"Fair use can apply when there is a reason to copy in order to make a new artistic statement. The analysis of whether a given use is a "fair use" is the most complex and nuanced in copyright law.  Among the factors it considers is whether the use is commercial or non-commercial.  Many uses of works on deviantART are entirely non-commercial. We do not permit the sale of FanArt within our Print Store because we want to avoid involvement in a commercial exploitation of a copyrighted character."
:iconlilnekokatz: is selling prints on deviantart of the following copyrighted characters:

www.deviantart.com/print/32490…
www.deviantart.com/print/32370…
www.deviantart.com/print/32028…
etc.

Here is another journal with more about her past thieving on facebook - we are dealing with a pathological liar I hope she reads this and thinks of visiting some special help (I am not joking and I am serious, not insulting) and she can get a treatment. Pseudologia fantastica is a serious mental disease that needs treatment:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudolo…
She stole multiple dA artworks and pretends as hers and that she really worked hard on them.

PS. I reserve my right to hide and report as spam irrelevant comments.

Thank you!
