I contacted Epic Games and they have stated the image is copyrighted to me, even though they own the trademark and intellectual properties to the Gears of War franchise. I found out last week that Paul Jr. Designs (PJD) is selling t-shirts with my design on them. Here is my original: <a href="http://crotale.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2pmfw3" rel="nofollow">http://crotale.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2pmfw3</a> and here is the T-shirt graphic: <a href="http://pauljrdesigns.com/product/5B8/PJ-PJD1726/black/." rel="nofollow">http://pauljrdesigns.com/product/5B8/PJ-PJD1726/black/.</a> Zoom in on both images and you will see the logo is the same. </p> <p>I contacted PJD, where I was informed that Epic Games provided the logo artwork. I checked with Epic and they deny sending that particular graphic or having used the graphic. I have a good working relationship with Epic and have no reason to believe they would deceive me or misappropriate my artwork.</p> <p>I have sent a DMCA "takedown" notice to PJD's webhost but have not heard anything back from them yet. I am not looking for compensation, but I do not want my art being sold without permission or credit due to me as being the artist. Do I have legal rights in this regard or do I simply have to roll over and allow this company to commercially sell my artwork without my permission, credit for the work, and no compensation? </p> http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/topic/privacy-on-search-motor-list#post-409 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 05:24:12 +0000 mister mister 409@http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/ <p>Is any chance to remove a site from your database ?<br /> This is because Google lists everything showing complete address phone etc etc<br /> In my country there is a Law that enable to take legal action when Private Info are listed in Pubblic list and not authorized by the person. </p> http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/topic/what-are-your-favorite-anti-plagiarism-tools#post-126 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:45:44 +0000 WhoIsHostingThis 126@http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/ <p>Not used them myself but these two services look interesting:</p> <p><a href="http://www.fairshare.cc/" rel="nofollow">http://www.fairshare.cc/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.attributor.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.attributor.com</a></p> <p>They're both run by the same company.</p> <p>Jonathan Bailey - who also write for <a href="http://blog.whoishostingthis.com">our blog</a> - has an excellent site on the subject called <a href="http://www.plagiarismtoday.com">PlagiarismToday.com</a>. </p> http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/topic/what-are-your-favorite-anti-plagiarism-tools#post-125 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:13:05 +0000 TevinQuevedo 125@http://www.whoishostingthis.com/forum/ <p>I've been really looking into anti-plagiarism tools lately and I'm interested in seeing any suggestions to this.

I am considering ithenticate.com.
