we all remember that some twit was distributing firefly vids to an actor and someone else was stealingpopfantastic's. in fact, we're bound to remember more than that. whatever the direct cause, some damned plagiarists have finally provoked a response and are going to reap the consequences!
check out this determinedly organized little coalition that's been set up tofight the forces of darkness take back artists' creative rights.
their mission? "to prevent plagiarism... disseminate information about the perpetrators and the purveyors of stolen fan-created artwork...To inform and enlighten fans both new and old about the whys and wherefores of fandom, including each individual fandom's stance on theft. ... prevent costly bandwidth-suckage via direct links... ."
how?
by taking down their entire websites for one day at a time and replacing them with a message ("fandom is currently experiencing some technical difficulties. please stand by"). and also by publishing the plagiarists' names.
