Photobucket Fiasco Info and Updates

If you have been following the Photobucket story you'll know that over 6000 Artists have already signed the petition asking Photobucket to change their policies that allow the illegal display and printing of copyrighted materials on their photo sharing web site.

You can read the original story by Jonathan Bailey at Plagiarism Today here:

How Photobucket responded here:

And the actual petition is here:

This is where the situation stands for now. I will update this story as developments unfold, and in the meantime we ask that you consider signing the petition. 

A huge Thank You to Jonathan Bailey of Plagiarism Today for helping us with this problem!!

Artist Alliance

I created this blog as a gathering place for Artists. After the Photobucket petition I realized that online Artists need a place to discuss matters such as copyrights. I imagined a place where Artists could come for relevant, up to date information about marketing their work online. A place with lists of links to informative websites, updates on the petition, A place to organize future petitions, alerts about problem companies, resources for dealing with copyright infringement, and a place for Artist's to come freely rant about such.

I invite anyone to join, write, and participate. This blog will only become what the contributing Artists make it.
