There is Boonoo, Rhineheart, Joe, Alexice, Alexis, Aquarius, Alexander (the true legendary dragon of Death), Neofire, Tom (Alexis's former mate), and Ko.

Since when did Boonoo have a dayracer form? Ko belongs to Silver Booster.

Yeah, this is always annoying when it happens. I'm sure this is just a kid that doesn't know any better, but it's sad that his/her parents didn't teach them any better.

Of course posting your artwork on dragon-city is no worse than posting it anywhere else. Anything placed on the web, whether it be here on this forum, on photobucket, deviantart, dragon-city, etc., can be copied with relative ease. It's just the nature of the computers and the Internet. I always put a watermark on my artwork to help discourage copying. They can always crop it off of course, but that requires work and many art thieves aren't very savvy and may not know how to do it. Some people put the watermark across the center to really discourage copying, but that of course degrades the image. Watermarking is an option though.

I micro print on my work, i will not share how but it does not involve shrinking text. and that alone is hard to get rid of,

Thanks for bringing this up Bluebooster.

Think i will mark all my renders in case though as Furox has said, it doesn't matter where you post your art, someone will mose likely have ideas of stealing it and make it as their own.

DA has a rule on copyright issues as seen here..
http://help.deviantart.com/8/

If we all contact DA and report this person for this, he/she should be either forced to take down all the stolen art or be banned.

This member has lots of comments from loads of people complaining to remove their art but this person then denies that they can read english and gets out of it.

I sent a complaint to DA help.

looks like i'll have to report them all individualy..

there is too many altogether to report. i have reported arond 25 so far...

SD, How are you reporting them, i only found the general help part, haven't seen an individual report link etc.

Plus, have you had a confirmation of the complaint sent or even a reply from DA at all, i got nothing.

Even though i haven't seen my art there, i am fully against art theft.

As you know, SD, there are other dragons in that Youtube video too. There are Starlyn, Joe, Solari, and Alexander.
The Youtube video has been active for one month. The owner is not the only person.

I found one more video.

There is dayracer Alexander, and Boonoo.

That is very bad. This person is very UnPolish. How did this person register on the sites? Youtube is easy, because it has the language option for the Polish. DA is in English.
