Hello all. I have just register this site to post this message across which I hoped Katie will see.

There has been report of this website called Wallpart Shop has been stealing artist works and selling them without their persmission and sadly Katie works are on it-

[LINK REMOVED]

I just posting to bring awareness and maybe something will be done about it.

One last thing, the site is trying to be clever by redirecting you to some spam if you try to view the image twice (was trying to post a link that many of her works are on it).

EDIT- The whole site is a scam https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6912824/

Katie rarely (if ever) reads this part of the forum. A more sure way to let her know would be to send and email to katie@tiedrich.com .

Ok thanks. I had email her just now so hopefully she read it and not fall under junk emails.

Even one of my things is on there! It won't even let me click on the image properly to report it and take it down!

Again, this site is bullshit. It looks like it's bodaciously ripping images straight from the Internet, apparently by way of a search bot, and putting them up for less than 6 bucks. I'm going to say it's a complete scam. They take your credit card number and they'll probably hijack it and buy a vacation to Aruba. Then give it to other people for them to buy vacations to Aruba.

Because of the way it's taking images, the site fails at keeping its stock in a cache. Perplexate, there are like 275 pages for that search, and only one poster on the first page. Nothing else. Then it redirects to a completely different poster when you click on it. From what I can see the text is directly from the Twitter post you apparently posted it on.

The grammar is very awkward in some cases as if a machine translation was used. The programming is broken. It's a mess.

I'm going to say that reporting is useless. This entire site needs to be shut down, but obviously that won't happen. I feel sorry for the 3,614 people who have allegedly purchased wallpapers on this site.

Now, this is all just assumptions from a clueless nut without any experience in web design programming, so feel free to correct me if I'm not going in the right direction.

Oh my god.

The counter is just a freaking image

The screenshot image is gone now, I gotta say, this is just absolutely sad and pathetic right now, this site is D-O-O-M-E-D. I do kind of half-regret not taking the plunge to get that screenshot mounted on my wall.

The site is just a scam, plain and simple. However, you'd probably have better luck taking down an IRS fraud than taking down this site. It's unlikely that the owner left any traces of his identity.

They'd probably just send you a cheaply framed image on normal printer paper.

Or send you nothing and keep your credit card number.
