"I hope you know this will go down on your permanent record..." -The Violent Femmes, "Kiss Off"




by my estimation, 19,928 downloads at $5 / pop would have been $99,640





















The above accounts (especially the Photobucket one) were used by my readers to Google the identity / identities you will see listed below.





In a fun twist of irony, this was on Jeopardy tonight.



Three DMCA notices were e-mailed / faxed to the following on Friday, January 20, 2012
1. abuse@photobucket.com (also faxed)
2. abuse@mediafire.com
3. astatalk.com online e-mail form

The following is text from entries on Facebook on 01.20.2012 that were reported as "abuse" and removed without warning or ability to object. However, since I have everything saved I am republishing it on my own site instead - because I don't want another designer to ever be "hit" by this individual again - and there are several who still don't realize they already have been..

There are several readers who can verify this is a true and accurate representation of what went down on my Facebook account and the astatalk website Friday, January 20, 2012.

My text = black / / her text = red.

In case you had any illusions of feeling sorry for the poor, slighted pirate vs. the big-bad copyright holder...or thinking this was all some big misunderstanding... It was, and still is, not.



http://astatalk.com/thread/13010/1/We_have_a_new_designer_on_board_who_isn%27t_happy%21_%3A%29/




This is getting rather interesting I might say....This home girl here RIGHT HERE isn't bothered by any of your BS. Yeah you have a copyright certificate aren't you special, do you want to see mine too. WTF does that do for you nothing. You don't need a certificate to prove copyright. Any image you take is automatically copyrighted. I am not scared of you, I am not scared of deny sharing your pos work..I won't deny a da** thing. Your ranting and raving makes you look pathetic. Since you know SO much about the law, do you know about slander and Libel, if not you better look it up. I've had to deal with it in my area with an organization I run and I win everytime JUST LIKE YOU. SO be very careful what you say and how you defame me because sister I can use the law just like you can. You do not scare me nor anyone, you won't get a damn dime out of my pocket. You want an apology fine, I'm sorry I bought your $5.00 worth of pos materials that were unusable to me so I shared with others who might be able to use it. It all looked like a good deal and looked like good products but I learned I was wrong and I bet the others who downloaded the files thought the same damn thing as we have found better products to use on this site. I think I am the only designer who has ever shared my own products on this site, because I love to give with out a price. I don't live beyond my means, I started all of my business' not because of the money but to help those less fortunate. I'm not married, I don't have a husband paying my bills and I'm a single parent. I don't have all the luxuries as some do, but I have a roof over my head and not because I'm sue happy and like to sue people to pay my bills and give me a huge ego like yourself. I'm not afraid to go public with sharing your files, why because so many others do as well (Including other designers!!!) and I will not allow you to publicly damn me either. I understand you are upset but you've went WAY overboard. I've seen vendors handle these types of situations so much more professional than you have, one of them being Alex Beadon. Your post on FB makes you look like such a fool and shows your true colors of what type of person you really are-I'd hate to pi** you off if I was your kid (poor thing). Threaten all you want but damn me or defame me in public and I'm sorry it'll be the Karma that comes and bites your a** ma'am. We'll see who will be owing who! Everyone from your FB page has been trying so hard to figure out who I am, what I do, what I own and your offering a reward your pathetic. I will be gladly to tell you who I am (all you had to do was ask) My name is Brittany Davis I am 28 years old, I have a 4 year old special needs daughter. I own Candid Memoirs Photography (I'm not a pro), I also own Candid Couture Photography Shoppe which is closed at this time (has been since November bc I am fighting and illness that most wouldn't want to have and I can't keep up with it at this time). I am a native of Texas and Missouri. I perhaps would given you a sincere apology if you were professional at handling your business-however I am unable to do that. I did what you asked but you had to keep on and on-like the pathetic person you are.

          "I'm not kidding. Want $50? Her head on a plate, please!"

WOW that's so professional, I don't even have a comment on that one. All because someone shared a few files of yours (that hardly wasn't even downloaded btw-maybe 6. I'm done with this, but like I said I'd re frame from what you say and post publicly it won't help you in your case.




Now does that ("I'm sorry I bought your $5.00 worth of pos materials that were unusable to me so I shared with others who might be able to use it. It all looked like a good deal and looked like good products but I learned I was wrong...") make any sense when paired with this (the page she put my entire store up for download for free):






That seriously takes some nerve to call a designer's work "pos" and "unusable" after bragging about an "awesome sale" she "couldn't pass up". Much less asking her "peeps" to "share the love" and give her good feedback for it!

Would I normally turn it into this much of a witch hunt? No. An apology goes along way. But you mock me, take down my friends in the process, and threaten me - I will gut you like a fish. If you don't believe it, you haven't followed me online for the last decade.

Let the record show - I have never personally accused her of stealing anything. I have linked to the illegal download links she has provided to others' work.

But I would pay good cash-money to see this so-called powerful attorney of hers in action. It will probably go a little something like this:

"Ok, so my client blatantly ripped off your copyrighted work - work that was federally registered and included minors - without permission. This caused you to file three DMCA notices with various internet companies and protect your work. You then warned others of the copyrighted works she was sharing illegally in case their work was in the list. We good so far? Now, you then went on your Facebook page and cried 'Nanny nanny boo boo - stick your head in doo doo.' So for that horrible offense, we are suing you for...ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

Oh. Wait. You mean she put this in writing?

'I am not scared of you, I am not scared of deny sharing your pos work..I won't deny a da** thing.'

Nevermind."



-----



"I've printed off EVERYTHING that has been said. SO MANY THINGS that are incorrect information! Everyone of you need to get your facts straight. NONE of my designs are copied from anybodies sh**! You couldn't even get my order right or the downloads right of how many people downloaded that. Only I KNOW!!! I've got your lawyer info, I'll be in contact with them in the morning so they can get in contact with mine. You don't play and neither do I bi***. AND LIKE I SAID BE VERY VERY VERY SELECTIVE IN WHAT YOU SAY-IT CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU. You think your so powerful, but you can't take anything away from me including my business or even my dignity. Reporting my FB pages to FB won't do you any good, I didn't do anything wrong on FB or ETSY for that matter. None of my designs that I make are stolen. And also just another fyi the only thing I did wrong was share files. I have bought or designed everything that I have shared on Asta. Be mad all you want, you have the right to be, but letting your temper get in the way can get your ass in just as much trouble."

Facebook Direct Messages / e-mails from the account titled "Brittany Davis" (icon not displaying because I blocked her) -




Brittany Davis
"Am I to understand correctly from that thread that if you have a special needs child and an illness (and no husband to pay your bills) that it's ok to steal? Anyone else that that away from it? Anyone?" I don't remember saying that was a reason to steal and please remember I didn't steal I shared those who downloaded your products are the ones who stole. I buy items. You wanted to know who I was so I gave you a tid bit of who I am not using ANY OF THAT as an excuse. What I don't understand and maybe you can help me out here is that, you asked me to take down the files, which I did (even the ones I didn't need too) and then you take the drama to your public page to keep ranting, raving, ridiculing, cyber-bullying, and yes using Libel actions because between you and your buddies there is incorrect information and information that defames me as a person as I am a public figure in my community. I admitted my wrong doing yet you keep going on and on. I understand your upset-but it's a bit out of control. I don't believe in handling drama on pages especially business pages (as it was brought to mine) Apparently you do. Reporting me to all these pages or to FB or to whichever doesn't do anything bc I didn't do anything wrong on FB nor photobucket and what ever other pages you reported. I understand copyright very clearly for images, I can save a file or share a photo with people, I can't alter it nor can I claim it as my own and I need to give credit, I didn't go against those terms. If that was the case NO one would be allowed to share any photos on FB or anywhere. I couldn't share a photo that I liked from a photographer to show others etc. Every state has different laws for every situation. Throwing around that you've sued all these people and are a big baller only shows unprofessionalizm


Brittany Davis
I ask of you to take down all of my links on your page as I have taken all of your links down as you asked. I'm not going to wear a duntz cap or a scarlet letter for this. I will continue to work and do what I do to make a living. I did wrong and I admit it. I won't allow you to continue to damn me. Is it a lesson learned, not really because I knew what I did was wrong. I think what pisses me off more than anything is people saying MY designs are copying others designs. They are not just like you spent 5 years making what you did, I've spent alot of time making what little bit I have designed as well. Now it is up to you if you want me to call your lawyer in the morning or not. I'm not backing down or running away or trying to avoid anything, I'll deal with it. But either you can let this go or we can continue on.


Brittany Davis
"I will NOT rewrite history and remove anything. It has already been viewed, shared, commented on, Tweeted, and I think even transcribed into Sanskrit too many times to count this evening.

You cannot erase history. You can not undo a "done".


You can attempt to offer an apology - as much of one as someone is capable of making anyway - brush yourself off, mark the lesson as learned, and move on. And with that said, I will leave you with a DM I just received from an account named "Brittany Davis":"

I guess then I shouldn't have removed anything either. Your right you cant undo a "done". I can't offer apologies for someone who has tried their best to belittle me to make themselves feel better about themselves. You took this WAY above and beyond what any other professional would have done. I can deal with the court and lawyer threats as I am prepared-but your right you can't undo the things you said nor the things your friends said either the assumptions the humiliation and defamation of my character. I admitted my wrong doing several times-you haven't. I did what you wanted me to do and that still wasn't good enough, you had to continue to bully the situation. At this point we both did a wrong. Your not the type to apologize and I'm not the type to apologize to people of your nature and that includes your buddies as well for the things they said and assumed of me as well. Many false statements were wrote-I moved on awhile back, you didn't get to me like you wanted too. Your a strong opinionated person and so am I. You have met your match. "Jenice Danforth Ray wrote- what a horrible apology? Is this for real? 'I'm sorry because I don't want to get in trouble and I will admit that I did wrong so you won't go after me but at the end I feel like I have to say the last word.... " Your buddies didn't get the full message-but then again they don't seem to understand much anyways it wouldn't have helped-they think one sided...Never did I say I couldn't face the fact of getting in "Trouble" I made it VERY clear I'm not running anywhere, you can come after me all you want...I'll be waiting, but like I said I'll make the first phone call to save you the time, I'll gladly welcome you to Missouri You deleted ALL of your comments on Asta which was expected-so I'll need your lawyers information by morning. You didn't offer a nice solution so we shall do it your way But don't get to excited on getting a new house. Go ahead and put this one on your page too so you can get sympathy and pats on the back-your going to need them.



Robyn L. Pollman
No, YOU took this above and beyond. You stole my work and then you reported me for the privilege of having my work stolen. This is not over. It could have been - but you chose to follow an apology with another attack. And if you want a legal battle, you got it. I told my attorney to hold off last night after your "apology" because I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. There is no more doubt. You make one more move. You post one more thing. You file one more report. And I swear with every fiber of my being that I will be holding a check from you in my hands for this. You do NOT realize who you've decided to mess with, and it would be in your best interest to do a little internet research of my legal track record - and my attorney's background and legal record - before you fire off one more volley.


Robyn L. Pollman
For the record, I didn't delete a thing on Asta - I haven't been there since my last comment. If it got deleted, it was deleted by someone else or a mod. I don't use that place. I don't know how it works. And I really don't care. I had nothing to hide. I have nothing to hide. And you have no legal leg to stand on.


Brittany Davis
I know how it works and if a mod deleted it, they say so.HOWEVER you just expected me to whine and cry and your first message to me was nothing but hateful, no one would reply back nicely. Like I said I admitted my wrong and NO ma'am you WENT above and beyond with defamation and several libel statements publicly, if you have ANY background in legal track you should know you shoulda have kept your mouth shut and only talk to your lawyer BUT no you had to make yourself look big and bad. In Missouri items published on the internet can be used against you and I will counter-sue I've got more than one leg to stand on. I'll deal with the court system quicker than you will. You would have had a better leg to stand on yourself if you would have SHUT UP. I WILL not stop reporting you and your friends and their false statements that are harming my character and threatening if you all keep continuing. No ONE has done that to you. You had a misunderstanding-I didn't apologize, I just recognized my wrong doings. I refuse to apologize to someone who has done worse than what I have done. Threatening me does nothing but hurt you and will hurt you in a court of law. You still haven't gave me your lawyers information, I have your address according to your Fliker account if this correct. I'm not going to do ANY research on you because that won't affect my decisions. You are NOT high than thou OR ANYONE. I don't care what you have won, that doesn't affect anything. Those aren't my cases. I need your lawyers info stat, because I'm headed to the court house and my lawyers office. If you don't want to handle it over-I'm sure it can be found out the hard way.

I double checked. I didn't download any "Masks" from lysaisme. She must have collected some of the same ones that I have. I went and gave you a + on your release though, because you deserve it. If you feel that I did wrong by releasing some of the same ones that you have on your computer that you have shared. I deeply apologize for the inconvience. Next time you have an issue with me or any of my releases you'll need to pm me, because as of right now this is all SPAMMING!!! @ Dynna don't worry I'm always happy go lucky

And one more note: Did you ever stop and think that maybe I had these masks before you but hadn't shared them yet. I only shared them because I was asked too. I feel like someone is a little upset and I've seen you cause issues with other members in the past and have left rude comments on shares of mine in the past as well. I think it's time you watch "Bambi". Have a great day!

First and foremost, you need to check your sources! Not all of those are YOURS. I added them into a folder with ALL the other ones I had. Because someone had requested clipping masks in a pm message to me. If you want to get technical I know math and can tell you how many are "yours" and how many are mine that I purchased and shared. Your not upsetting anybody but yourself and I have no clue what you are talking about with your other message?? I'll be back in a bit, I've got some calculations to do on who's is who's, since someone is upset. Besides no matter who's masks they are technically they are neither of ours last time I checked.

Don't put a manance on all Asta friends. If you will not be enough satified of all the feed backs, than don't share, it's only up to you

I'm not a menace on ALL Asta memebers, only leechers or those who don't like me but sure can download my shares. I share because I download items from others as well and give them + for appreciation. Maybe Asta should just do away with the + and just let us say "Thanks".


photog82 pm 2 Jan 212, 22:26 ! #
release: Holly McCraig Shapes
Miss Lysaime I'm not a + sign addicted person. It just shows appreciation. People such as leechers could at least give a +. Especially for this share here there has been over 2 downloads and only 6+ which are considered a thank you. It's the nice thing to do. + signs are considered feedback, not giving a + or any kind of feedback is considered leechers in my aspects. I'm not crying in anyway-I'm standing up for those of us who are tired of the leechers and unappreciative people. If I cared or was crying about not getting the + then NO I wouldn't keep sharing, but I am. Because I enjoy sharing with those who are appreciative. Pretty much 99% of my shares are items I have purchased myself. I'm just trying to get the point across that it isn't that da*m hard to give the person who shares a da** + sign. Sorry if that upsets you that I make that apparent to those who would like the items I share. Am I getting a prize for the most +'s NO, but since we can't say THANK YOU because that's considered the so called spamming, it's the least someone can do. It shows that someone appreciates your share and it makes us to want to share more. I'm satisfied with those who have + my share or who have sent me a pm to let me know they appreciate it, I'm not satisfied with leechers who do NOTHING but sit and collect and show no appreciation. Can it be stopped, no but hopefully in the future Asta will come up with something to stop the leeching-their good at making rules, maybe they can figure that one out.

Would anyone be willing to re-upload these files to mediafire possibly. My Filesonic premium account ran out and I can't re do it at this time. The other files that were shared are dead links I tried all the file sources. I'd be so grateful if someone would be willing to do that. Thank You (I did download the Valentines Templates)

Alright, all links above have been fixed. Per embedupload links are available for 33 days. That would be the reason maybe why they weren't available.

I'm going to re-up them to mediafire. I didn't delete anything and I checked filesonic and all my files are gone and they aren't even showing in Mediafire, it's very odd! So give me just a little bit and I'll get these re-upped for you. I apologize for this.

A sale is a sale and she always has awesome sales unlike most. I just read where DA is having a 15% off sale! Are you kidding me, I wouldn't even waste my time-their prices are so high anyways 15% off wouldn't make much of a difference. Now Melissa Davis Designs she does a 75% off sale for two days each month and she does have some cute designs (and isn't really expensive like DA). Anywho I'm going to go check out this sale at Sassy

UPDATE: 6:25 a.m. EST on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - here are even more designers that had their work stolen / shared by this individual at her astatalk account. They are listed below with links to the images on her photobucket.com account. These images were used to "advertise" each of the downloads she was making available for free.

If you know these designers PLEASE inform them their work has been stolen! No designer should sell to this individual in the future - she will just "share" it on free download sites after purchase.

UPDATE: 8:25 p.m. EST on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - go ahead and report LPD's Facebook posts / try to get them removed all you want, thief - they aren't leaving the Internet!


From La Pomme Design's Facebook wall (removed by Facebook, but the shared copy on my Facebook page is screencapped below):

"Thank you to everyone who has let me know that my designs were shared illegally and stolen by Brittany Davis of Candid Memoirs Photography. Ironically, she won a contest held on this FB page to win the Shoppe, and received over $1200 in products from me for FREE, and thanked me profusely in a very long email saying how she has had such a hard life and how thankful she was to get the Shoppe for free - and then had the nerve to share my designs on a file-sharing website so they could be STOLEN. This is just a reminder that designers and photographers alike spend time on their designs and deserve to profit on them - but with people like Brittany Davis, hard-working business owners will have to fight harder to stay afloat and to protect their business. If you are a designer, please go to http://paperieboutique.com/stolen/ to see if your designs were shared and stolen, too. Thank you Robyn, for your diligence in letting designers know about this."

UPDATE: 8:55 p.m. EST on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - someone didn't erase their trail very well. I guess their mommy never told them that it's not nice to steal from others and then complain that no one is giving you enough "thank you's" and "+" signs for doing it.

Brittany Davis shared a link.
2 hours ago
Now I'm being told I have shared her files as well....False & Altered information...The person spreading such false information is in for a rude awakening. Even though I didn't SHARE any of Holly's items at least she was PROFESSIONAL about how she felt about it. I just really wish these designers would really investigate and have proof that their items where shared from "ME" before they believe someone that has gathered false information. Because letting my name out on false information is counted as a Libel statement and is defaming my character and business. SO now I have to add another person to my list and I really liked her. Robyn is causing alot of issues for other designers that weren't affected.

Honey she's done more than bash me! It's out of control. She is spreading so many lies and false information it's ridiculous. But I'm just going to let her continue to keep talking, it's only hurting her in the end.



One of her pals comes to her defense and says she watched it all go down, as my Paperie Facebook readers actually tied her real-life accounts to her astatalk.com photog82 account in real-time Friday night... (With my "Want $50? Her head on a plate, please!" quip.)

@Photog82

I happen to login and was on FB as the whole thing unfolded:

I saw the screenprint of the Asta Site and was really suprised she would go that public with her immaturity being that she has a rep and company name to protect.

On her FB page, she said she found out because of the increased traffic to her blog, so she searched for links and found this one here and then put up a $50 gift card reward for your name.

I saw the person you gave you up on FB but I don't remember who it was and it's blocked from me now. I do remember her (Robin) saying to that person could you please trace me through the steps at how you arrived at that link. (To your page)

Later she (Robin) shared they did a source code search of the Asta page, and it linked back to your photobucket and that has personal info and pictures that linked back to your real identity.




"Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up." -Inigo Montoya, "The Princess Bride"

1. she [RobYn] said she found out because of the increased traffic to her blog
2. she [RobYn] searched for links and found this one here
3. put up a $50 gift card reward for your name
4. she [RobYn] shared they did a source code search of the Asta page
5. it linked back to your [photog82] photobucket
6. that has personal info and pictures that linked back to your [photog82] real identity


*ding, ding, ding*! See, I didn't just go on this identity-search ready to slice 'n' dice. I first sent an e-mail to the address I had asking the person who stole from me to explain themselves. I also sent a not so nice "busted" direct message via astatalk.com demanding an explanation. (I'm sorry, you steal from me - you don't get Pollyanna.) And I asked my readers to PROVE the identity - and demanded to see said proof - before I would take any action.

Honestly I'd be way more worried about my name being in Google with all this attached to it - LEGALLY attached to it because everything published here falls under publication-rights law - than I was going "public with her immaturity being that she has a rep and company name to protect".

I went public to protect my work, and that of my fellow designers. I am protecting my rep and my name - and my copyright. I had nothing to hide. I didn't join astatalk.com until it appeared in my stats, and I haven't been back since I was booted out.

This is a good time to point out that my attorney is an expert in "internet, technology, and photography-related copyright", "litigation", and "trademark negotiation". She is a co-chair in her county Bar Association's Intellectual Property Section and is certified as a specialist in intellectual property.

Let me stress one more time - all of the information on this page is LEGAL and approved by two legal teams. And now as clevergirl has so cleverly pointed out (pardon the pun), vetted.

Thats right-she/they are truly adored, therefore she/they should reward their customers with a little more than only 15% OFF! That is ridiculous-other designers that are just as good as DA have done better sales than that. But that is just my opinion-I'll be passing this sale up-I own enough DA products anyways thanks to the people of Astalk. Besides I'm broke after Christmas anyways and 15% off isn't going to save me much.



So much for "Pretty much 99% of my shares are items I have purchased myself."

Miss Lysaime I'm not a + sign addicted person. It just shows appreciation. People such as leechers could at least give a +. Especially for this share here there has been over 200 downloads and only 60+ which are considered a thank you. It's the nice thing to do. + signs are considered feedback, not giving a + or any kind of feedback is considered leechers in my aspects. I'm not crying in anyway-I'm standing up for those of us who are tired of the leechers and unappreciative people. If I cared or was crying about not getting the + then NO I wouldn't keep sharing, but I am. Because I enjoy sharing with those who are appreciative. Pretty much 99% of my shares are items I have purchased myself. I'm just trying to get the point across that it isn't that da*m hard to give the person who shares a da** + sign. Sorry if that upsets you that I make that apparent to those who would like the items I share. Am I getting a prize for the most +'s NO, but since we can't say THANK YOU because that's considered the so called spamming, it's the least someone can do. It shows that someone appreciates your share and it makes us to want to share more. I'm satisfied with those who have + my share or who have sent me a pm to let me know they appreciate it, I'm not satisfied with leechers who do NOTHING but sit and collect and show no appreciation. Can it be stopped, no but hopefully in the future Asta will come up with something to stop the leeching-their good at making rules, maybe they can figure that one out.

I wonder how many of them complain about their products being shared and then turn around and see a product by another designer that they don't have and download it. Pretty much most of the time items being shared are expensive, SO maybe the designers need to re-think their pricing method and then they might not see their products being shared because we can AFFORD it.



I wonder if she takes this theory into practice for her photography clients and her session fees / print prices?



-----



By the way, when you hear her tales online about how "mean" I was when I confronted her with the theft, here are my first two comments on the forum. (Both circled in red from shutterblog and tampatantrum - I had to get a second username because my first was blocked / banned from astatalk.com immediately after I posted my first comment.)








"Way to take something nice...and turn it into something illegal."

"And I will - and DO - protect my clients at all costs."

Yes, I was SO out of line!


And note her initial reaction - no apology as she claimed. "Good luck", "will never stop it" and "woo". Yes, she was very humble and apologetic. (And that was the nice reply!)
