Stolen art for sale of Displate

[Proj2501]

Our art (mine, CnC and Lithrael's pieces) are being sold for $44 a piece on Displate.
Please don't support art thieves!

This has been happening for years, people will take any Berserk art like fan colourings and such from the internet and try and make a profit from it. That Zodd one I've seen on eBay so many times, it's usually sold as a poster. I checked this guy out and he says it's officially licensed artwork. Yeah I doubt that. He just saved an image from the internet lol. But I doubt anyone can do anything about it sadly.

You could try a DMCA takedown. Websites tend to oblige, even though it's murky territory as the local Berserk licensee (Dark Horse in this case) should be the one doing it.

I’ve been disallowing such things on reddit for a few years, ever since I realized this was happening.

That's f'ing unacceptable. Hope you were able to report it, Proj!

The real problem is that sites like Displate sustain themselves on the endless free art supply that users provide, under the auspices of it being art that they created. So even if someone flags it as unauthorized, it's in their best interest to ignore or delay the removal of any offending piece.
