Our Stance on YiffParty    

By InkedFur, 3 years ago
Hello art lovers,

As some of you may be aware, many artists who want to keep eating and paying bills are having their content stolen and posted on a website for anyone to download on a whim. This includes high-res comic pages, exclusive art, and high res PSD files. This could affect our bottomline, but more importantly, this is adversely affecting many artists who have art as their only job.

InkedFur has taken action against Yiff Party and have been met with incompetence from Cloudflare as they forwarded our owner’s personal cell phone, email, and full name to the malicious website owners. This is stupid.

Not only that, but many of our artists have had their personal info posted and have had their emails attacked (bombed) just for filing a report.

We are so outraged that we have contacted a local attorney who is investigating this situation. While this website may be owned overseas, it’s hosted by OVH, an international company. They are protected by Cloudflare, a US company. So yes we will hold them accountable for this.

If you are an artist that is on Yiff Party, here are some things to do. Please note that you do not need to put your phone number on these forms and you should use an email just for this. We recommend going with spamgourmet.com to generate an email address temporarily that will max out at a set amount of messages.

CloudFlare: https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse/form (your personal info will be given to the web owners)
OVH: https://abuse.ovh.ca/
Aplnames: http://alpnames.com/report-abuse.html

I am currently in contact with an attorney about this and there is talk about possibly going to court. Now us as InkedFur do not hold any copyrights on the artwork, that is our goal, but we will help rally the artists together.

If you are one of the creators that had their content stolen by Yiff Party and based in the US, contact us directly if you are willing to come forward in court about this. I’m not sure it will go this far but we want to be ready. I have an attorney who wants to take names and start reaching out to the artists at no charge.

InkedFur will not stand idle as artists in our community are railroaded. Please join us in this fight.

Thank you,

James Hoyt
