CHECK WHERE YOUR FAVS GO
If people fav your art, you might want to check out which folder/collection they put it in – I don't always pay attention to this but will be paying more attention now! I just discovered one of my photos in this person's Background Stock folder and all my art/photos have clearly copyrighted notices. I haven't ever permitted my work to be used as background stock – only as wallpaper on one individual computer. This person is listed as being in the U.S. so I presume that language isn't the issue (from looking at the site). This person has only been a DA member for a month but if lobolika lobolika.deviantart.com/ favs your work you might want to check it out.

Here is the note I sent to the person:
I apreciate that you liked Molten Arctic Sunset 1arcticfox.deviantart.com/art/… enough to fav it.
However......I noticed that you put it in your folder named "Background Stock".
My art/photos are not stock and are not to be used as backgrounds for anyone's work. Using my work without permission is a violation of copyright law and illegal.
Please remove my photo from your folder/site immediately.
I will be checking back to see that you have removed it. Thank you!

I hope you all are doing well and enjoying your summer. It's been a very busy one for me and I haven't had the time to be around DA much! July was one of our coolest and wettest on record! I'm ready for some sun!!
Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,
Anita
