I am so irked right now! A few months ago I saw this beautiful rope bondage photo. It caught my eye and it was an immediate fav. A few days ago I joined fetlife and looked up a really sweet BDSM acquaintance of mine who does amazing rope bondage. He was the first guy to ever tie me in rope suspension and he's always a joy to talk to. I was looking through his photos when I recognized that bondage photo that was my favorite from a few months back. I was so excited because I hadn't known it was Charly. I went back to check and see how I could miss something so obvious! That's when I saw that the the dev "artist" didn't reference him. His mark was kinda faded in the upper right corner. I didn't want to panic. Maybe it was the model and she just didn't know or something, so I told Charly about it and gave him the link. I checked up on it a little later to see that Charly made an account here so he could tell the girl to reference him! So he didn't know this person! I was so upset for him! This has never happened to one of my friends before!

I checked her comments and other photos. She never references ANYTHING and she just lets people comment about how amazing her photos are without ever bothering to correct that they AREN'T HERS! I got PISSED! I never slam people on dev or really anywhere, but especially on the internet because I think it's cowardly but this was different. I posted in as polite a fashion as I could that anyone who appreciates the photo should remove it from their favs because it's not hers. I'm not going to say where she is because she does not deserve the recognition. I went to report the image when I realized they asked for a link to the original site. I didn't think they could get on fetlife, but I figured I would direct them to Charlys new account so they could verify with him. So closed it and went to get the link to report it and I saw Charlys now posting some photos! I was pleased to see he posted the one that was stolen called Lani and you can see it as HIS SITE at [link] Please have a look at his site as he is a wonderful and very talented man.

But I reported the image and suggested he do the same in case he didn't see the tiny little icon to report. I missed it the first time myself. But geeze people! If my art ever gets good enough to become theft worthy I'd be so angry! I work HARD to improve my art and I couldn't IMAGINE someone having the audacity to claim my hard work as their own! Why are people so horrible!!!??
