ok.so i have went through ALL the wallpapers and there are quite ah few that have been pirated from here at vc.I could understand if they posted the wallpaper giving credit to the original artist,but they didnt even do that.probably nothing we can do here at vc to prevent that. Maybe i should start posting my walls with watermarks instead of posting the originals,so if they want it then they will have to get it via email or privately through vc :) I know it sux,but if that's what it has to come down to then i will do it.

You know it sucks when people take your work without permission and dont give credits. But you all got to remember this is internet life. Its just how it goes. Once you post it online, Thats it. Its there for anyone to do with what they want. Im not saying this is right and personally I wish people would respect the original Artist. But people are who they are. One thing good about it is, It lets you see peoples character and style.

that's true but it looks like two people have done this if you want the names at least they could be banned that might help stop the pirating.

I've noticed several Russian and Spanish speaking sites hosting VC content and also download links to VC content provided on Youtube channels with no mention of the original artist provided.
