statement of purpose

the purpose of this blog is, to document and expose cases of copyright infringement and illegal file sharing, committed by members of divers piracy groups on yahoo, google and other platforms. Each case published on this blog is proven by documents, which you can receive as a copy, if you send a mail to abuse(at)nkdigitalart(dot)us. The NKDA Team hopes to be of service to the community by exposing IP's of pirates (people who share the products of others without permission and/or against the will of the copyright holder), so other small business owners can protect themselves or at least be aware of the problem

This blog is not about 'shares by accident' , but it will be updated regular with cases of ORGANIZED piracy on social platforms, which can and will be proofed due investigation by forensic digital experts in co operation with a lawyer, specialized in international copyright law.

The postings on this blog will also show, how much of these illegal activities are organized and well planned with the goal to destroy small businesses and online stores period by threatening store owners either way to comply to the pirate's demands or to suffer the consequences in form of excessive file sharing of pay-to-use products.

additional postings about piracy generally and social structures in groups and/or social networks will also be published here.

the authors of this blog do not give legal advice, only sharing experiences and the results of research. For further steps you might want to take, please consult your attorney at law.

update

Hi all readers,

due a lack of time I decided not to continue publishing piracy cases in details, but rather to provide helpful links for other victims of digital piracy. Thanks for all emails I received from fellow designers and for your kind support in the effort to slow down piracy and copyright infringement, you can contact me any time for questions or to exchange experiences considering digital piracy, you have my email addy :). The subject is not from the table, only not a priority in my life, as you all know I have to work to make a living and as long as I am focused on those unpleasant and frustrating shares, I cannot give my all to the work I love and the customers of NKDigitalArt.
thanks also to all people out there, who report illegal links to me, your effort does not go unappreciated but is a sign, that not all people out there lost their values and still know right from wrong. My customer support will take appropriate action for every link you report, when we can find out the IP of the person sharing and/or contact the sharing people with a cease and desist notification. I know many of you know by now how to extract email headers and how important they are for follow up reports and the legal 'waterproof' process of it. If you want to help, please always forward also the email header to NKDA. if you don't know how to do this, please mail to my husband, he will be more than happy to explain and guide you through the process namon@nkdigitalart.us is his addy.
