I would suggest making your name blatantly clear on any walls or other art that you make, if you need an explanation, check out this thread: dtm.fan-forum.de/ap_angel/thread.php?id=1836&start=1To sum up, they're posting your art without credit and practically saying it's theirs. Some of it has even been saved to other places besides where it was originally found. Just thought I'd let you know... This has also been posted at DAS and will be up at DATV and DAFAN shortly as well.

I knew there was a reason I should have paid attention in German class.

Hi Mocha,
I think you overreact a bit. In the thread, you mentioned, Fan Art and links to them are posted. Of course you are right that there should be credit and a link to the web page of the owner. But no one is saying that these linked pictures are their own ones. Sometimes it is explicit stated that the pictures are not from the poster: "nicht von mir!" = "not from me!"
In this forum, which is the biggest in Germany, we discuss things concerning Dark Angel and the actors. But here we have just finished season 1 in TV and to find information we visit lots of English fan sites. For those, who do not understand English, links are posted to this stuff. We are very grateful that other fans share their work with us. Which is, what I think fans want, when they make their work available in the Internet.
Nevertheless it is not a one-sided relationship: If you go to "The News Stand" or darkangelfan.com and check the news from Jessica and Michael in Germany you will find out that the videos from several interviews are provided on the page DarkAngel-Fan.de.vu, which you are criticize.
IMO there is no need to destroy FanArt or pictures with a name and address in huge letters. If you cannot resist then do it small and in the corner.

Thanks for the explanation eytam - I think it's hard when something is in a language that you don't understand. I think most DA fanartists are happy to share their art - I know as a writer I like to share what I do - they just want to be sure they are credited for their hard work. Thanks for stopping by - hope you will join us on some other threads! And I know I and many others here are very grateful to Mestro for putting up the wonderful vids and caps from the German trip!!! ;D ;D ;D

Very good explanation eytam. Thanks for that. I'm lucky to communicate in American which is often a different language than English. Maestro, you have become a very admired person on this board. What would we have done without you. We are so grateful to our German members for alerting us to JMA and MW's appearances and Maestro's board. It has helped me to get over my DA depression, a little.

While it was clear that no one really stole any of the artstuff by claiming it was their own it is wise to "mark" your creations in some fashion. Some of my own wallpapers and 3Dart have been stolen and claimed original by a guy in England. He learned the hard way not to steal from me but I can't guarantee that someone else won't try it again. It's always wise to copyright your stuff with a logo or signature of some type.
