WTF?

I was informed of several places where my art is being posted without my permission and the person(s) are claiming to be me.

Now sometimes this happens, but usually maybe once a month or so..but not 3 places in one day. I am lead to wonder if this is the same person. I don't want anyone to flame these people, I will be writing the webmasters of each of these sites and getting my work..or the usage of my legal name, removed.

To clear up for ANYONE that ever stumbles upon any galleries/blogs/whatever there may be out there where my art starts to appear, here are the places I have accounts thus far.

Furaffinity Username: Balaa
Deviantart Username: Balaa
Fanart.lionking.org Username: Balaa
Livejournal Username: xxBalaaxx

Those that I don't update frequently
Sheezyart Username: Balaa
Epilogue Username: Balaa

I may have a few other OLD accounts floating around, in those cases chances are they have not been updated for a few months to a few years in each case.

So if you see my work being uploaded on some other site that isn't listed above, pleeaase contact me. Usually I don't bother to post anything about such matters in my lj, but this just boggled my mind completely.

I had this same ordeal just recently with someone pretending to be me at Deviant. They reposted my art, descriptions, everything. Couldn’t see that they were offering prints or making money. So what was the point? Reflected glory? I don’t get it. There are some weird people out there.

It doesn't make any sense..at all..maybe it IS just for ANY kind of attention..ie bad attention in this case..and maybe thats just beyond my grip of understanding...why not invest your time and effort into building something for yourself that you can be PROUD of..instead of wasting everyones time with such pointless endeavors!?
