WHO ARE YOU Identityprops????!?!?!

I know. I was just tryin to insert a little humor into the situation. No disrespect ment. And honestly I think anyone stealing someone else's art for profit is atrocious. I can't wait to hear about what happens from all the calls authorities are getting about his government id's.

Doesn't seem so. But look for yourself, if he stole something from you:Entertainment ID Cards - ID Cards From the Identity Props Store set the view to "all".


HOLY COW!!

This guy is unbelievable, I recognised a ton of designs that were created here on the RPF and Devianart. There were a few that really stood out.

-The show me card from fringe, since the only ones I've ever seen were created by our own Cmdr. Kerner and trebory6.

-The Final Fantasy Cloud Strife ID card. This one made me ROFL. He used a novelty German passport generator (which is FREE) to make this one.

- The Sledge Hammer ID - It's the one created by our own Coz.

I wonder if this guy made any of those props.

I told you so… :unsure

Shhhh! That world domination plan is a secret.:)

Wooops! Sorry… Thank god they don't know our super-secret RPF member handshake-handstand-booty-bumping-shout-n-twist move… ohhh… eehh… did I just say that…?:lol

ok… back to the serious part:
telephoned with Dietrich again, we got this email back, and we are having trouble with understanding the legal mumbo-jumbo language, even though we are very fluent to near-natve speakers in english. Can anyone of you help us? AFAI could see, we can hand over the case to a third party, the ISP can't be hold liable and we don't make a direct profit out of it.

I am NOT a legal expert, but I think I can comprehend (and thus elaborate on) some of it:

Hello,

Please review our DMCA procedures which follow the OCILLA. Also note, the sworn statements and all other information listed on our DMCA page are not only required but mandatory for any DMCA report. This will allow you to specifically identify the intellectual property that you own and is being infringed upon, which is required by law.

Right, DMCA and OCILLA are the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act, the former (to greatly abridge) controlls access to and the copyright infringement of digital media (such as the DRM [Digital Rights Management] on a music CD or DVD). The latter (again, greatly abridged) covers protecting Online Survice Providers from their own acts of copyright infringement (I would interpret this as covering acts committed by people hosted by said company, but I would recommend getting a trained/professional legal expert on that rather than taking what I say as gospel).

They say that their declarations of adherance to the DMCA is required as proof that they're adhering to the DMCA, so that you should be able to correctly identify what content of yours has been used without your permission.

There are many verified third party DMCA/COPYRIGHT agencies who act on behalf of the intellectual property holders who can verify and submit these claims on behalf of the intellectual property owners. This will insure that legally, the intellectual property owner and the ISP is protected in the event of an account termination.

There are companies out there who have been employed to act on the behalf of copyright holders (film studios, record labels, patent holders) who chase things up when a holder thinks his content has been used without his permission.

(This works fine for a big corporation who can afford such a company, but not so well for a guy who produces these for no profit out of a garage-based workshop, or studio.)

The final paragraph says that this is the best method for resolving a copyright theft issue, as these companies are versed in everything they need to know for when the make the claim, at least, that's how I've interpretted it.



A few years back I had my own unfortunate journey into this world where a DVD cover I'd designed for free use ended up in a eBay auction, thankfully I was able to get a quick resolution through contacting the auction site... sadly your case is far more complicated, and verging on issues of national security.

Hey tremas, I didn't know you were Cathoris on Deviantart! You did a great job on all of those ID's, especially the Torchwood ID cards. In fact, I was going to send you a message on Devianart about this #$%^&%$ swiping your work.

Hopefully he gets shut down soon.

Yep, tried to use Tremas there, but it was taken. :(
 
Wow. It was taken on Deviantart? So that means at least TWO people know obscure sci fi names....(well...three given i know too)
 
Hey Folks...
I know that I'm late to this discussion and I don't know if this will help. I'm NOT a lawyer and have a bit of info that may help.

I saw the bit about the DMCA and I believe that they are looking for what is known as a "take down notice". That notice requires a bit more than you've provided. You can read more about that here...
How to Send a DMCA Takedown Notice | Black Star Rising

I suspect that may be what they're getting at with all that legal-eze.

It may get a bit muddy becuase you've created a piece of fan based art predicated upon something that had been trademarked and/or copyrighted already. eg. TV show. However, YOU created the artwork so I believe that YOU own that. Like I said...I'm not a lawyer but that may be something that gives you a hiccup or 2.

I'd like to see the site shut down, but the best the ISP can do is PULL the infringed material. I wish you luck. I've had a book duplicated in China and there's squat that I can do about it. So I feel your pain. Since this is Canada, I'm optimistic that the materials will get pulled down.

Please keep us all posted!

Yep; in fact, I can (somewhat) prove that, by virtue of the Delta House ID, with Otter's picture on it (that was in a link, not the actual site page, to give people the idea of how to fill it out).

I don't know if these guys had Fake ID's also, but they were wearing Marine Uniforms!!! Yikes!
Illegal immigrants in US Marine uniforms arrested

I hope someone can put a stop to this guy selling Fake Military ID's even access to a Military Base could end up in a major disaster or worse!

He won't. I just sent that link to the FBI. Sorry, but as a Soldier, i can not and will not allow that. The card will not allow a person access to our IT systems, but if the are good enough, it *could* allow someone access to base. Screw that.

Wes


MODS: The link I posted is just to follow the subject of Military IDs (And in this case uniforms), it's not intended to be Political in any way...
 
This is why a lot of my friends have stopped posting their art on Deviant Art too. It gets swiped all the time even with watermarks. You think the site would take the stuff down asap as he has fake military IDs on there.
 
Well...

For the copied Id :

If you really want to shut down his website quickly, I think you should have to send en email to the license holders ...
I saw that he mentions the TV shows or movies names with their Id... without any licenses or authorizations while he sales them as authentic replicas, which can put confusion in the mind of the buyer !
If you send an email to lucasfilm, paramount, Warner, Fox, etc... they will certainly sue him... And I rather be face to face with an Alien than a Fox's lawyer...


For the military Id, I don't know how canadian and US authorities are working together, but you might report it to the Canadian international police authoritiy :

International Policing

If it could helps...
 
I'm pretty sure I can purchase surplus american police and military items that are reasonably current at the local army surplus store. A few years ago I bought a sherriffs uniform to be used on an amateur horror film, and the date on the label was only a year or two old.
I'm pretty sure you can't get current Canadian uniform items, only older issued items...
 
Yeah all the stuff at our army navy is old and for stuff like badges and other items you have to prove you're law enforcement.
