I propose a boycott

Fri Nov 13, 2009, 11:38 AM
I'm posting this more as a warning to other artists than out of any form of revenge or spite (believe me, sueing is all the revenge I need!)

I don't know how many of you are aware of the US based t-shirt company called Junk Food? Well basically they stole my photo and put it on a t-shirt.

Obviously I'm mad as hell about this, but its being taken care of so hopefully it'll all be ok.

But it got me thinking: how many other people have they stolen material from and gotten away with it because the artist never knew?

Now I have no idea how they got my photo, its here on dA, on LJ, on Flickr, on Facebook and on a forum I frequent so it could be any of those. But I thought it wouldn't hurt to make a public post to a community of artists, ie those most at risk, just to be on your guard regarding this company. I'd hate for anyone else to have to go through this.
