My stand against people stealing, and selling Artist Work
Added 2019-10-28 00:27:26 +0000 UTCI debated that I was going to post this here, because to be honest Patreon's response to this might be me staying or leaving Patreon.
However due to the actions of someone selling Artist material, and Patreon seeming unwilling to do anything about it unless people do a DMCA complaint, and that requires them to use their real name, I have put my foot down and stated that if Patreon do not alter this behaviour and investigate the fact he is blatantly copying people's work (Even leaving their Artist name in it), I am leaving Patreon.
For more information, and also what I am asking people to do if they can, please read this: https://tgcomics.com/tgc/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=3&topic=11176#msg195313
For now the site is down - so there will be no further action... but I will be continuing my complaint to Patreon for ignoring blatant theft and hiding behind a DMCA before action can be taken.
It is like the police stating they can not arrest a Bank robber even though he is robbing a bank until they get a warrant.

Yes - which is pretty much where I am coming from.

2019-10-28 18:34:57 +0000 UTCI didn't get a good reply from Patreon - so they are still on my shit list because I don't agree with their behaviour around hiding behind DMCA specially when there is a Clear indication of people stealing multiple pieces of work from artists. But for now it is down, so thank you for all the people who did comment to Patreon.
