Hiyah,
This Sharpy_012 ( Link: http://s299.photobucket.com/home/sharpy_012/ ) from Photobucket Account has stole Boo's Tecna Fan Art and Teagan's Musa Fan Art from DeviantArt.
She also stole a lot of Winx Fan Arts from Deviant Art plus Graphics from other Winx Sites 0.0
(If you look around her Ablums..you will see it, there's a lot.)
I found these 3 while, my friend from my Site reported the Link having a lot of Rare Images...but she didn't know that link was an Art Thief. Then my real life friend, who is also in my site too found Shani's Don't Copy Sign from her Home Page of Midnight Blossoms which I reported to Shani already.
This is a Signature Sign I had seen someone in MagixClub was using this before. 0.0
I'm not sure who is it:

Oh her. Yes, I've been dealing with her for awhile now. *Sigh*
None. Yeah, she did take some of your stuff. Plus, several things of mine that she just removed, without me saying anything.
So far, I haven't had any luck. Sometimes, she removes stuff on her own.
I recgonize her user name... I think I know who she is. My other friend may have had trouble with her before also.
Fanart Wise:
3 of Jess's
3 of mine
1 of Boo's
Altogether, 20 of people's I know on DA.
Also, 40 of people's art whom I've seen on DA.
And there's no point in watermarking, because she steals it anyways.
Geez, this Sharpy_012 has no right to take other users pics. When you click on a image of hers, there should be something below Image Info that says Report inappropriate content. Click that and select then click Submit or View Policy. Hope that helps.
I would LOVE to know if this person has another account somewhere else they could be contacted =/
I've been looking, far and wide. Seriously, they need to be stopped! A few months ago, when we were voting for the new MC banner, they stole all the entries.
That's a heck of a lot of theft for one person. Sheesh.
They're probably right under our noses Dx
For all we know, they could have an account here. Not saying that they do, but it's a possibility.
mm she has my 'dont copy sign' off MB. honestly that girl is a nucence!!
and jessi i agree, she probably lives amongst us and we dont even know. I mean she manages to take all our DA art, our sigs on here and our winx site graphics too. =_='
grrrr
*Whips out magnifying glass* Well then we must locate her! Does anyone know how to hack computers? Justa kidding. I jest.
But seriously, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find her.
We should find a way to get her IP, to see if it's one of the users here. I mean I trust everyone here, but it could be.
Has this person been brought up before as the name rings a bell
I really don't understand why claim its yours
@Marty: Yeah, I've brought her up several times, for stealing my art.
sounds like a jerk. *cracks knuckles and rolls up sleeves* I'll take care of this nincompoop! XD
lolz tori. mm I know how to get IP's on Forums and such but not Photobucket. does anyone know anyone who knows how? XD
So, Fa and I did some sleuthing, and found herhttp://bestwinxclubpics.piczo.com/aboutme?cr=4&linkvar=000044. From there we found her youtube and Fa has contacted her by email, and I've contacted her via youtube. Her youtube name is maria137b

Hi there, I'm on Magixclub forums and it has come to our attention a lot of our members fan-art are up on your photobucket. This isn't the first time we've found out users graphics on there and we'd appreciate it if you either credited the members, or deleted them from your gallery. A lot of hard work has gone into those graphics and some of the users have reported repeat offences. There have also been complaints of you stealing from out members fansites. I'll link you to the thread, so you can talk to the members who have seen some of their rt on your site. http://magixclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4425&st=0&#entry382323
Thanks for your time.
W.I.N.X of MC forums.
ANd Fa's message:
Hi my name is Falicia I am a member of a winx club forum
called Magix club, on magix club forums we have many of our members put a lot of
work into their artwork and such and tend to get discouraged from doing more
work when the come to find someone has taken it and posted it on a different
website without their permission. It has been brought our attention by a number
of our members that they are finding their works up on your photobucket account
and they are very upset and annoyed about this, now I understand one of my
fellow members has notified you of our issue on your youtube account, in case
you didn’t see the message it is at the end of this message. We simply ask that
you credit our artists or take our stuff down and we will not take any further
action. I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me a reply to this
message so I know that you have read this and understand where I am coming from.
Thankyou very much for taking the time to read
this,
Falicia
So hopefully this'll be ironed out.
Edit:Ok, now it seems she'd deleted my comment. She obviously realizes she has been caught out. I may or may not leave another comment.
No, No, No! Not this again DX
dont worry the MC investigators are on the case
Haha, Lol. XD I could aslo lend a helping hand. When my internet is fixed up, I'll try see if I send another complaint...
I just sent her an e-mail. She seems to know english alright, but I doubt I will get a response. =/
Oh, I'd like to give her a piece of my mind. In total, she's probably stolen at least 15 pieces of art from me in the time I've been aware of her.
EPIC FAIL MOMENT! BIGGEST OF MY LIFE! All this time, she's like, been on my friend's list on youtube. Epic epic, fail.
Okay, another edit... here's what I sent her:
My name is Teagan, or Winxgirl23 on photobucket, Winxclubrox23 on the Magix Club Forums and Winxclub-Riven on DeviantArt. Basically, me and several other people have noticed that you have been posting ALOT of fanart on your photobucket, that doesn't belong to you.
For example, in the time I've known of you, you've probably posted 15 of my pieces. All you have to do is give us much deserved credit! Or remove them. It's illegal what your doing, as stated by the Photobucket Terms of Use Agreement, which I've taken the liberty of linking right here:
http://photobucket.com/terms
I hope to hear back with your decision.
-Teagan
Lawl.
I just got a reply back. Two actually.
*Standing Ovation* Yay!
No, that's not mean. Shoot, I should have put that my art has watermarks ON IT.
So I've been going though her website, and 90% of that is stolen too. Another 8 of my art pieces, as well as my youtube background. *Cracks knuckles* It's so war now.
No Jessi that was BRILLIANT! i suggest we all send her emails and such. the more the merrier. if theres that many of us. She will probably do something. i'm sending one now.
Hello my name is Shani, i am the owner of Midnight Blossoms, a winx fan site. It has come to my attention that you have taken a the 'do not copy' sign from my site and uploaded it to your photobucket account. Please do not upload any of my graphics or art without my concent, as that is concidered stealing and i do not appreciate it in any case.
I have also seen that you have uploded plenty of images made by friends of mine. I understand that you may not know that they are not official images that is why i have emailed you with links to the images so you can take them off.
want to see my list of stolen things so far?

shani@ dude you gotta be mean! Those kinds of "people" (I refer to them as the disgusting slime with no souls we call humans xD) wont listen to you if your nice. LOL I'm just randomly putting my two sense into this topic, but mean while I don't even have any of my art on the computer
I have a beast of a list too. Also, I think I found another thief.
This was on her page:
ALL of her pics? Most of them are stolen.
Here's my list:
Found on her Website

Found on her Photobucket

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm289/sharpy_012/winx%20fa%20art/Musa_and_Riven_Season_4_by_WinxClub.jpg
http://i3.piczo.com/view/4/j/h/l/8/4/7/9/a/n/s/1/img/i303777589_81600_4.jpg wasn't stolen from me (But from someone else I presume), but I do rather like the picture, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what magazine it's from. XD
AHHH!!!! That last one is from the comic! Laura 'Zel' Carboni drew it! I think it was in her first issue as a staff artist?
Zel is so awesome...I stalk her on Y! all the time =3
What comic is it from!? I wanna see it like, without all that jazz on it.
Merci times a million!

I decided to email her as well:
I'm double posting, yes I know. But this is insanely important. I just got a reply from her. This is what she said:
Uh, I think she's saying that she got the stolen pics from another site, and they said it was okay to post them. So she stole stolen pics. I think...
Holy confusing. 0_0;
In any case, it needs to be drilled into her head that it's wrong, no matter where she got the images.
She's replied 2 more times to me. I got the name of the site she got some of the stolen images from, and sure enough, I found several stolen fanart images. Here's the site: http://winxclubepisodios.blogspot.com/search/label/Musa
Here's where she tells me the site:
Not to insult the girls grammar, because I'm pretty sure she's from a non-english speaking country, but DANG.
I can barely understand a sentence she types Dx
hey guys me and winx had an idea and created a member team that might help with this
She replied AGAIN
*gives teaford a standing O*
Dang, I'm feeling a little left out that she hasn't responded to me again xD
@Jessie: Haha, maybe she like me. XD
Double post. Yeah. I know. Some stuff, is just way too important.
I sent this to Piczo:
Lawl.
I finally got a response from her, and this time I understood her loud and clear.
She just told me if I didn't want my art taken, I should disable right clicking on the website!
...
YES. I'LL TELL DEVIANTART TO GET RIGHT ON THAT.
*Facepalm* Oh yeah. Coming from the girl who also steals watermarked things.
I'm making her a list of everything she needs to remove.
Art thieves' 11 girls in a non-english speaking country's fact #1: "If it's not right-click protected, YOU CAN TAKE AS YOU PLEASE."
Apparently.
She emailed me again today asking for a list. So I'm taking the time to make her an entire list of what she stole. If she doesn't remove it all by the end of this week, I'm going to have to go to the Photobucket Mods.
---
198 items I listed. AND that's not even including the 30 or so things she removed last night.
Wow, I'm glad you all find a way. =) I hope she gets it down or credit back, Teagan. ^-^
Alright so I messaged her again and she replyed a few times.
And if you continue to not respond to these messages, and don't own up, we won't even give you another chance to delete the photos, we will simply report you.
SHe responded:
I sent back:
Yeah, I got pretty mean with that one...moving on...
She sent:
This IS good, but she still hasn't deletted that banner, and I've found other people's(not nessacarily off of here) avatars, so I replied.
There are other avatars as well. Please look into those.
No response to THAT yet.
I'll send her the list again. I spent a good 25 minutes looking up all the links and things for her. She has no reason not to remove the pics.
she has deleated her entier winx fan art albumn
Yep. I just got an email about that.
any further improvements?
Ish? The so called friend she said gave her the okay to upload the pics was utterly shocked, and barely knows Sharpy...
