DA RIPPED ART FOR WALLPAPER

Sun Sep 13, 2009, 10:55 AM

DESKTOP NEXUS - HOTBED FOR RIPPED ART FROM DA

After logging into DA this morning to read journals of my friends, I find that many of them have had their art ripped to use as Wallpapers on a site called DesktopNexus. The site is full of art ripped from DeviantArt. I dare say that much of the Wallpaper there, is made from art taken from DA. I have yet to find any of mine, but then my art is in storage.

I found an interesting piece of text on their site, after viewing a fractal (from DA) in which the signature is clearly visable on the thumb (but unreadable due to samll size) but on the large view the sig is cropped out. Here is how their "About Us" reads. Underlining is by me:

"What is Desktop Nexus?

First, let me ask you a question. If you get bored of your desktop background, where do you go? If you want a fresh wallpaper, where's your Amazon or Travelocity? There's no household brand-name to answer the endless demand for computer wallpapers, and Desktop Nexus aims to change that. We strive to build the world's premier source for high-quality desktop backgrounds.

However Desktop Nexus is more than the text you see on this website. Desktop Nexus is a community. We've built a passionate member-base around technology that does not drive this site, but rather supports it. Our technology allows members to interact, sharing real-time feedback with artists or photographers. It allows visitors to subscribe to RSS feeds and get notified whenever a new wallpaper is uploaded to one of their favorite categories. It takes every wallpaper uploaded by the members of this site, and automatically crops, stretches, resizes, and remasters the image to fit your screen size perfectly. Desktop Nexus provides a medium for members to share their desktop creations with the world.

There are many places online to find desktop wallpapers, but none can compete with Desktop nexus for the volume of high-quality, well organized wallpapers we offer.

--
We are obsessed in our dedication to build the absolute best source for computer wallpapers online, and if you have any suggestions, recommendations, feedback, or comments at all, we'd love to hear from you."




I strongly urge all DA artists to go to the site and look for your art and ask to have your art removed! Here are some links:
