Anyways, I often google Winx Club stuff to see if any of my arts been stolen. I usually don't find anything, except for today. They've stolen multiple things from me and other people from DeviantArt, possibly thinking it was season 4 stuff? I don't know. But I think all of them are Bulgarian sites, as the text is all in Bulgarian.

http://tkbz.beon.ru
http://awix.beon.ru

http://teknasis.beon.ru

http://magikwinx12.beon.ru

Anyways, If anyone is able to translate Bulgarian better than the Google Translator (Which is not good at all!) Help would be very much appreciated.

Grrr! I get so annoyed when people simply steal >.< I think you really should put a watermark...no matter how you hate it.

I'm sorry, I don't understand Bulgarian xD

I watermarking the said as we speak. I often do put a watermark ever since my first piece of art was stolen, and these happen to be ones that I haven't gotten around to watermarking!

Posted by: Winx4eva! Jul 1 2009, 5:09 PM

Yeah, people always look out for the unwatermarked one and claim them as their own....Some people

Posted by: winxclubrox23 Jul 1 2009, 5:11 PM

Aw I know! I don't even know if their claiming them, or simply confused them with official art having to do with season 4.

its such a shame people have to watermark

This is just a glitch that happens once in a while. And when it happens, you can't post any link so you can tryposting the links as "http://..." with quote marks beside it instead of just http://... so it won't turn into a direct link.

And I hate when people do this stuff >.<

Posted by: winxclubrox23 Jul 1 2009, 5:32 PM

Ah, well that makes more sense! Haha I was like "Woah! Their that famous for stealing stuff?"

Posted by: dittadulla Jul 1 2009, 5:34 PM

Yeah xD And you can try posting the links again, maybe it's fixed by now.

Posted by: winxclubrox23 Jul 1 2009, 5:38 PM

Yeah I think I shall.

... Oh god. The avatar the user on the third site uses when posting entries belongs to METB. http://i51.beon.ru/2/91/579102/31/avatars/2.gif.

And this is so wrong! It's so wrong that you have to put a watermark on everything you do so it won't get stolen and abused! X_X

Posted by: winxclubrox23 Jul 1 2009, 6:58 PM

I know. The world's messed up.

Posted by: dittadulla Jul 1 2009, 7:19 PM

Messed up much, yes >_<

Posted by: W.I.N.X Jul 2 2009, 4:26 AM

WTF? That one even has METB's name on it. God people are idiots sometimes -_-

The sites are all actually in Russian,
they idin't give ANY credit and that is just so rude considering how hard you probably worked on these beautiful pics!

PS If you want anything translated from Russian, feel free to ask me

[noguests]Oh noes, thats terrible! Sorry I dont know the language, but if there's anything I could do to help, let me know. Hope it gets sorted out soon. [/noguests]

Weird. My computer translated it as Bulgarian. And yes I'd LOVE for you to translate some of them! Thank you so much!

Hm...I translated this on the Google Translator:
This force is related to water. It received, for example on holiday
In this form of transformation can be controlled with water.
Receipt of this force is very pleased

I can believe they made something up! That's so low!

Posted by: Music123 Jul 3 2009, 7:21 AM

The first site you listed is just a bunch of posts made apperantly by a some kids in grade 4...anyway the post that contains your fan art says:
"Enfairix: This power relates to water, you can get this power, for example on a holiday. In this transformation it is possible to have control over water"

Nowhere on this site does it contain any credit to you so this is deffinately stealing. Hpwever we probably should consider the age of these kids for grade 4 is only about 9-10 years old!

PS It is strange that your translator showed it as Bulgarian for the sites are diffinately in Russian.

In the site under the name of "teknasis" is the fairy with pink hair your fan art? If it is this is what it has written:
Fairy of: Love
Name: Niki
Pixie: Anika
Boyfriend: Lik
Home Planet: Lynphea
Birth date: 26 July
Star sign: Leo

I don't mean to be rude, and I know theft is wrong, but don't get all worked up over it. Yeah they may be kids, yea they may be making stuff up, but how many hits do you think that site gets per week?

I know it is wrong, but it isn't that big of a deal. Now if somebody put it on a high traffic site, that would be something alarming, but little kid on a free hosted site, no biggie.

Just nuke the server hosts location and the persons home

Posted by: winxclubrox23 Jul 4 2009, 5:46 AM

Yeah, it's probably a misunderstanding. They could have though it was season 4 art.


Nah, the pink fairy's not mine.

Posted by: Music123 Jul 4 2009, 5:50 AM

yeah it is most likely that these kids just stumbled upon these pics by accident

Posted by: CaffinatedAngst Jul 11 2009, 2:11 AM

They usally don't realize there doing anything wrong, but you can techinally sue over this.

I think there's a group on DeviantArt that will write messages for you in whatever language you need to get your message to the person.
