[Signature #1454] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/22119493?utm_medium=rss I discovered this site by chance and I immediately loved it. At first, it was to do fashion sets but I met some great people and I practiced my English. I do not really have any friends in real life and Polyvore has allowed me to socialize more with people from around the world.

They wanted us to search the internet to see where the image was obtained from (the specific URL no less) that was uploaded to their site! The mere fact that they allow anyone to use their "clipper" tool to upload images that aren't owned by the sender is poor practice. Anyone uploading a file, should have to sign a section that they own copyright and that they could be sued if the copied a photo that belonged to someone else.

Polyvore can't claim to be that ignorant as when we looked at the image on their site it had our name and copyright text despite the fact that someone ELSE uploaded the image. At no time did Polyvore confirm with us that the image was being used to sell items with no royalies paid to us.

I'd be more than willing to join forces with other people being ripped off to sue for copyright infringement. There is power and clout in numbers.

I don't see the benefit to a fashion site to take copyrighted images from deviantART.com and turn them into new pieces of art without the artists permission. It's interesting how the claim to care is there, but the actions aren't. Words are meaningless at this point.

Anonymous [Signature #1358] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6098152?utm_medium=rss this is an on going issue that shouldnt have taken place to begin with. the polyvore community isnt able to clip anything from flicker or any major search engine. ifsomething is on the internet it is avalible for public use under fair use laws. we, the polyvore community, in no way say that your images are ours, but the artwork, known as sets, created with your art, is ours. you, the artists, are saying that we steal your artwork, but youre saying our sets are yours. WE ARE ARTISTS TOO!
