I almost wasn't even going to read this, thinking "there's no way in hell that can work." But then I watched that image and it's a pretty good idea! I have been scammed out of art orders like that before.

Nice idea. Don't steal art it's a felony.

My art's not that good but you'd be surprised how often my art gets stolen by others. Not only that, but I have done art for people who never paid me back. This needs to stop and I believe this petition has the solution!

A nagging part of my brain is telling me to think about how this could be abused by faking a preview. But I figure that if someone were to do that, this wouldn't make much difference, except it would be through a trade instead of a PM. So honestly, this feature seems like it would stop the abuse of artists, and make art trades all around easier. Not even my nit-picky brain can find the downside.
CupcakeBwittany OMG, this is wonderful. I'm always scared that people will steal my art, this is the perfect solution to that. Thank you so much. You've made me feel a little better. biggrin
LOVE,

i-Can-Has-Matt I'll sign D:
I'm tired of art theft and people just getting away with it. My art HAS been stolen before.. Even my a friend irl. I'm sure it's been stolen more times than I know, but I just havn't found out.
This is a wonderful idea. <33
Beasiesgal I'll sign.
This would help so much with people scamming gaian's out of money for art, and hopefully help with stopping art theft.
Chayish ♥xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx♥
I sign even though I suck at making art, I have respect for it.
And stealing people's art is like trashing their soul.
Awesome idea! ;D
♥xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx♥
An Adrian Space Odyssey I, An Adrian Space Odyssey, wholeheartedly sign this.
This is great. I've thought about this before, and how some kind of setup exactly like the one you outlined would be so much better, and much more efficient.
I feel sketched out, and all paranoid about someone stealing my art. This would definitely calm my nerves. smile
Please, please, gaia staff!! Look at this thread, it is completely relevant to the website! I think everyone would benefit from this, and would greatly reduce art theft, especially for those who are just starting out, and don't know how to watermark or don't know that they should watermark before trading.
Nocturne Mittens Sign me up. What these kids dont realize is that when you steal someone's else work and claim it as your own, giving NO credit to the original artist, its plagarisim and is AGAINST THE LAW. If they get caught, charges can be pressed against them.
Yuri_rox I sign!
After working so hard on a drawing, it just morally wrong to not be paid at all for it. Those scammers need to be stopped and this sounds like a good way to deal with it ^^
bloodwitch *signs* epic idea darling!
though, some artist will demand their gold before hand...but then i start thinking that an artist will scam the buyer (not that i really buy art, but still, the threat exists!) I think this will help with that so both parties are assured of the legitimecy(sp?) of the trade.

After whole heartily, working on a piece of art.
Usually taking me about three weeks, because of distractions, it only takes ten seconds for someone to just take it.
It's not fair.

DemonDays2 Signed! I don't do avi art (I might start once I get better), but I know artists that are annoyed at this happening.
Think of the artists. Sign this petition.
iiLolli I do art threads, and I had this one where this person said that they'd give me like, 5k for art, then when I sent them it, they never responded.
I WILL SIGN!
Annie-morphs Everything happens for a reason, but finding that reason... Sometimes when I'm riding through town,
I look through the window
at the many people walking down the streets
and wonder how all of them
have their own different stories.
Whoa, this is a awesome idea. :O It'll be so useful! Gaia artists would feel more secure with something like this and it'll encourage them to sell their talent. I'm pretty there have been many artists who have been discouraged from being scammed of an art piece that they've spent many precious hours (and maybe even days) on. I sign <3http://i41.tinypic.com/33ok0ae.gif
And somehow
all those Lives,
all those Stories,
are all connected in this world.
They all affect each other
in some way, indirectly, directly. ...is no easy task.
Siru Nightingale I sign. I haven't done avi art but if I did I would too have a fear of someone stealing it by showing them it in a PM they could easily just save it from there and lie saying it wasn't what they wanted and use it anyway without you knowing till one day you see their signature or something and see your artwork you did and then you got a big mess on your hands. I, Siru Nightingale, sign the petition ^^ I think that URL thing in a trade is a good idea
