Stolen Artwork For Album Cover????

[Wagsi]

Well I saw this HORRID album cover today, http://www.digital-tunes.net/releases/aura , and noticed..holy shit, this is my artwork CLEARLY shown here, http://brandonwagner.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1mce2d

What should i go about doing about this?

Is it worth it?

[Dead Rats]

Hmm. Lot's of people use this glowey-type stuff though, especially in psy-trance shit.

[deadly_habit]

approach the label, ask for compensation financially or a cease and desist
you really need to ask a forum about this?

I'm basically just asking if its worth it to even pursue, dont get all uptight like I asked how to make datsik bass.
If you don't care about someones post then don't post



Edit - is anyone russian? or can read russian that can show me where the "contact us" part of this website is? http://pandorumrecords.promodj.ru/

Did you use a brush? If so, good luck with that.

is it copyrighted?
just be happy that someone considered your artwork good enough to used for their release (even if they did rape it with shit fonts and shit design)

what response do you expect? obviously you haven't even tried a simple approach like contacting the guys first before asking people what to do
i can understand if they told you to fuck off or something, but before even approaching the label... come on

Doesn't need to be copyrighted, its OP's intellectual property and as long as he has proof of its origin he has a leg to stand on if he were to pursue it through courts, but yeah good luck if the labels in Russia.

[capo ultra]

yea your fucked if they're russian lol

Hope your not one of those ppl who believe in intellectual property!!! As long as they are not taking credit for the creation for the artwork, sit back and feel good about the fact that someone digs your art enough to use it on their album.
*EDIT* GOD......I FUCKIN HATE the concept of intellectual property!!

visual intellectual property doesn't have to be copyrighted. unlike music, the burden of proof to prove your image was manipulated is much easier.

better off going with the digital tunes site. They'll send you an email saying some shit about how they're an automated service blah blah blah. You send them back a letter saying thats horse shit and they're responsible for all content on their site and it gets taken off that site. I doubt it will do much, russians are impossible to deal with.


Take faith that their fellow russians will quickly pirate that album and the odds of them making anything over $3 is slim and none

I'm probably responding to a troll here, but if your tracks didn't suck ass, I'd sell them and take all the money, because intellectual property is sooooooo dumb.

First off, you CAN get paid for your shit with out putting some sort of copy right on it, Second, realize that those copyright laws are responsible for ppl suing sample based producers for tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars because they sampled a 2 second vocal or some other audio clip that "belongs" to somebody else. In the beat making community I really think people would be even more open to the idea that of "Heres what I did now sample it and make it your own" mentality that inspires all the killer remixes and re edits out there. But I suppose it's imposible for you to understand such a concept when you've got your head so far up that smug ass of yours!

rinsed!

Was considering arguing with you, but I realized something.
Your name is "th@-pu$$y", you make shit-terrible music, and you think it's cool to steal people's artwork.
That's really all there is to say.
