Warning

Its come to my attention that there is someone on Ebay taking copies of our Cards and then using them to create CDs with our work on, and claiming that they are to give the purchaser ideas to create their own cards. Its not the fact that we dont mind giving others ideas or inspiration, what is annoying is that this person is profiting from our work and its got to stop, Bev is starting up a Forum
http://stopthieves.myfreeforum.org/index.php to try and stop these people doing this. So if youd like to be part of this crusade please pop across and register yourselves.

    I never think my cards are good enough to copy, but it is a cheek seen this over on Vicky's blog and she wrote to her, but the cd is still there, some people just dont care who they annoy.

    I agree, this person should be stopped!! Our work is freely available to anyone who wishes to look via our blogs, it is not there for someone else to make money from.
    There have been many discussions about it this week on the Stampin' Up! forums too.

    Hi Shirley,
    I'm already registered over there and I've been told my cards have been taken and used on a cd , I'm disgusted that someone would stoop so low to do this to us. I will get a logo on my blog too as soon as ones available. Teresa xx

    Thanks Shirley, I've signed up, I haven't seen the CD's on e-bay, I couldn't find any, but it's terrible isn't it and the people who's work is stolen must feel really angry.
    Happy crafting

    Thanks for the 'heads up' Shirley.
    I joined the forum last night and, like you, it will be interesting to see the Masculine Cards CD when it is uploaded.
    Hugs, Alison x

    Hi Shirley

    I am not sure if this is the same one, but one was brought to my attnetion a few weeks ago as it contained work taken from a craft companies gallery and has been under investigation.

    I will forward make them aware of this in case it's a different one.

    That does not read quite right does it, so just to be clear the vendor of the CVD is under investigatuion, not the craft company.

    Also perhaps a relevant time to mention that it was also brought to my attention a repoprt written by the BBC regadring someone from blogland being fined for shill bidding their work on ebay.

    I reiterate all of this is hearsay and I am merely passing on what I have been told/read.
