The reason for this journal: I am sick of being ripped over and over again. Not only that people post my art in their blogs, Facebook, flickr, photobucket and even on YouTube without my permission which I ignore meanwhile because I don't want to spend my whole live being pissed off. But with increasing frequency people take my art and MAKE PROFIT with it. I can't take this anymore.


I am looking for a lawyer in the USA

I think a good lawyer could make real money with me as their client. I am from Germany. The entertainment law is a little different here than in the US. I can't sue a person who is living in the United States, at least not without considerable cost. Figure that! But most of the people or websites who sell my art live in the US or have their company headquarters there. My german lawyer would not take those cases. ARE YOU A SPECIALIZED US LAWYER or do you know someone who is one? I think if I would sue everyone who is living on my work I could be very rich.

So please, I am grateful for any good advice you can give me! :please:


Websites where my art is being sold without my permission

  • eBay
  • Etsy
  • HowFreakingCoolisthis
  • Apple i-Tunes Store
  • Samsung Store
  • Smartphone

I am not linking to the direct pages because I don't want you to report the items because it would be useless. Only me or my lawyer will be heard.

Thanks for listening!


Happy Birthday, Dad!

Today is November 11, the birthday of my beloved father. He would have been 77 years now.

I hope you rest peacefully in heaven, Papi! :icondarkmarek:

Wie traurig, dass Leute das machen, weil sie selber nichts können. Das bedeutet zwar auch, dass deine Kunst sehr beliebt ist - aber wenn sie Geld daraus machen, kann man nicht mehr sagen, dass Plagiat Bewunderung ist, dann ist es die schlimmste Respektlosigkeit. Ich hoffe, du findest einen Rechtsanwalt.
