Well i don't really mind if some folks use my doodles on their stuff but this one really caught my attention.

There is some folks on the net who is using the same username as i am (well its inevitable):
http://rayne.hellawack.net/media/people/Shoop_Da_Whoop9494
Surprisingly, he also used the same avatar as me (its inverted in color), and more surprising is that he's posting my art on that particular site 0_0 and claiming that my deviantart webpage is his own 0_0.

This "ViperXtreme" (Shoop_Da_Whoop9494) was caught already stealing some art from other users (don't be confused on multiple ViperXtreme users there lol):
http://rayne.hellawack.net/media/reviews/czesiuzabujca/9177

He apologized that he wont do it anymore:

Not do it anymore? what about now? he's still claiming my works! Its kinda funny and frustrating at the same time lol

My only advice is to repport him to the administrators of the website again :| It's kinda sucky that people do that... they even steal your identity!

(im using ViperXTR there while the impostor is ViperXtreme, Shoop_Da_Whoop9494 )

I reported him to the admin already, currently awaiting for response.

I feel for you. I've been ripped tens of times, so i know the feeling.
But i dont really mind it anymore, as long as anyone isnt using my stuff to profit.

The copyrights are sooo vague in teh internets.

I mean, reading manga online is kind of a crime too, aren't we being hypocrites if we do this and demand that.

I don't really mind either, my drawings being used by others, heck i let some folks do whatever they want with my stuff sometimes even without proper credit. The one thing that ticks me is that my "identity" has been used to do bad stuff like stealing from others, and im being accused of stealing which i really didn't do (the impostor did it)
(if you read more of that site, you will understand more)

Well that always happen when other members envy your art it happen also happen in my family and disgusted it so the help I can give is this if you are member in that forum report him or tell him several questions in how he made it or anything that can trap him until he has nothing to say and he finally admits that he copied you hope this helps...
