Intense dislike for Art-thievery and plagiarists.
NOTE: You may not have the same fonts used in this work. My suggestion to you is to replace it
with whichever font best suits your eye, or to Rasterize the Text Layer to preserve it in its original state.

An Anti-theft Warning card, you ask?
I say: Sure, why not? Every little reminder we can give rippers is just one less the likelihood that they'll take our work alter it, and/or call it theirs.
The intention is to give cause for pause, and excite potential thieves and plagiarists into adhering strictly to our rights as artists.Suggested uses:Modify the cards to suit your aesthetic needs
Special thanks to ~lorddarq for the use of his Brush Illustration Resource in the orginal 2008 card.
Without his collaborative effort this PSD could never have reached the heights it has by now.
Originally created in Photoshop CS3ext, with paintbrush by the amazingly talented ~lorddarq;
Updated version (April 17, 2012) completed in Photoshop CS5ext.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT NOTE: The links displayed in the original card are included only as a Template Example of how links can fit into the design.
It's absolutely unnecessary to inform me about Wikipedia's reliability as a source of information.
This is a PSD. If you don't like the links, you're welcome to change them as you see fit.
Thanks!

I'm really afraid that there are people who can repost my story and then say it's theirs...
thanks so much for sharing this

SALVAGE:
Is that movie about killing or saving?
because for me, Salvage is the root word of Salvation
And also, I think your fear is a valid one. I have it every day, and I've got a ton of work online. Just please do consider carefully that the only absolute measure to making sure your work is never stolen is to never share it online. There's just no guarantees on the web.
I do hope, however, that the use of this pack helps the issue just a little so authors such as yourself can be a brazen about how your work is meant to be used (if at all). And, I think it's also a good question of conscience to those who do steal, because it will mean they're perfectly aware what they're doing is wrong.

I understand your concerns and very glad you're considering it so seriously. There's absolutely no way to guarantee your art won't be taken and misused once it reaches the internet. The only actual safeguard any of us has is: to choose not to share it. It's unfortunate. Even so, and as you can see by the existence of this site, there's a lot of us unafraid of the risk for the gain of presence, exposing talent, networking, and friends.
The anti theft cards... they really are at most a very loud personal statement (and for those of us with hope, a possible deterrent). But I think a lot of people feel more secure when they can voice that opinion, as well as the law, at all times!
Another thing you may want to consider is a watermark. dA includes the option to watermark during the submission process, but a lot of artists prefer to add their own marks via photshop or the like. In my personal opinion, watermarks are the best way to go because 90% of thieves and plagiarists will not take the time to attempt editing it out. Obviously the drawback is the visual distraction.
Anyway, I hope all is well and am certainly looking forward to seeing your work should you decide to share it!
