Jafagirls: June 2015

My jafapal, Nancy, and I did this back in 2006 when Nancy had her Getaways for Women and created a fun Jackson Pollock workshop. After posting it online (high res-BIG mistake-never NEVER again) it took off and somehow became attributed to Jackson Pollock, go figure!
Just doing a quick reverse image check up I found 247 results.

Many of the results lead to scraper sites/wallpaper sites that offer it for free downloading, and seriously you want risk downloading it?

Can you believe we cut the huge canvas up? We were going to recycle the pieces into another jafagirl art project.

Still have parts of it around the house.

ANYWAY

It seems many feel they can just freely grab images off the internet and use them however they pretty bloody well please (read here about copyright info). By the way ours was NOT a copy of anything Jackson Pollock did.

Here are some of the sites using our image thinking it's an actual pollock painting or abusing our copyright and using it to promote an event, product, or make a profit from.

Note: Failure to show a concerted effort to protect your copyright can lead to you losing it. This is why each newly found infringement needs to be addressed.

2017

Ebay
has been informed, a dmca notice rejected despite the fact that this image is registered with the US Copyright Office.

AND

AND
AliExpress
is based in China and that says it all when it comes to anyone trying to protect their copyright. The method of filing a dmca notice is complicated and is a game of whack-a-mole

****************************************
2016
It is now being sold on aliexpress without our permission

April 2017 and this item is no longer being sold, so either aliexpress chose to do the right thing or the seller stopped selling it, either way we didn't get paid anything out of all the transactions.

Owner removed it from their site and apologized after I contacted him
