Good point Tim. The problem (as I see it) is that I originally joined the old forum to post ship drawings that I'd produced; but now we've got the complications of moderating and dealing with infringements; the former I can handle, but for the latter we need some expertise. I wouldn't ask anyone to spend their (otherwise) leisure time in chasing asseholes who steal our work, but what is the answer? Either (as you say) hit every infringer,or get used to being a resource for everyone who wants to steal our work?

IMHO being a resource for ships profiles is part of the reason why this site exists. None the less our work should be credited, and any site who is publishing some of our work here, without crediting is akin to theft. I'm sure some countries, the USA and others, have laws for that.

Don't bother, it's a drawing I made for him, back when I still followed The Last War.

I never expected to see someone using our drawings and putting them on mugs. Really I don't know where this will end, if anywhere. We could spend years chasing these cases around.
It's eagle-eyed pure chance a member stumbled across that site. How many more sites are out there stealing our stuff we haven't visited yet and putting them on posters, mugs, keyrings and God knows what else?

Miho's old Type 42 admittedly but its obviously a SB drawing without credits (though to be fair at that scale they wouldn't show).

This is an important one to deal with.

Another one it seems... Was researching a new drawing and noticed that. More ©XYZ etc...

Clicky because he/they oversized it

lol@ that top view, the pixel and colouration errors and of course, the statement that there are SM-3 and the 57 mm with the statement that it is an AGS xD
hell, I would almost ask him to take all shipbucket stuff off it xD 'as we don't want to have anything to do with that sh*t'

I actually have words for him, and have been drafting a letter.
