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.

Lawyers? - Or just some pirates ?

During our journey through the depth of DMCA complaints, cease and desist letters and divers conversations with potential copyright infringing people we found out something astounding we just have to share with you, dearest reader.


whenever the infringing party receive such complaints (and after the 10th time we warn them finally decide to contact us) - they tell us they are lawyers!! copyright lawyers on top of it!
Some of them are not quite as bold and say 'one of their family members is a lawyer '(a copyright lawyer lol), don't want to take all the credits for their doings, but rather hide behind uncle or brother (or neighbor or milkman or whomever they have on their mind pushing forward as copyright specialist (those poor 'victims' probably don't even know about their 'elevation' lol).

Now, valued reader, isn't that strange?
Copyright lawyers all over the place and still they are so much wanted by well paying clients all over the world? Is it that the salary of a copyright lawyer is not as attractive as sitting at home and uploading files -or do they have no clients to take care of ?(what does not speak for the quality of their 'service'.

Hmmmm....maybe the copyright lawyers nowadays are doing those illegal uploads in their lunch break - maybe between two cases? As a kind of 'office sport'??? Maybe it is their 'dark side' breaking through and they finally want to commit a crime by themselves to see how the other side feels???

Nooo!! - NOW I KNOW!!! they want to attract new clients by sharing their stuff first and then offering help ROFL!!!! (by disclosing information about their pirate friends' IP's and addies and groups to us???) Well, we will sure recommend you to other store owners, who surely already have a copyright lawyer and probably don't need your business after all lol.

This is a nice try, dear pirates ,associates and script kiddies,  but rest assured, we sleep well, knowing now, that some of our customers might be lawyers, copyright lawyers, who watch over us like a mother hen over the chicks.But then - we already got a lawyer, heck!!- he even has an office and clients, a telephone number and a fax, toooooo!!! Not to mention a staff of legal assistants who support him in his work and is so involved in his work that he has no time for file sharing lol (what a blessing, he ensured us he don't need rapidshare points to get through the day and we tend to believe him)

To make a satirical story short and serious:::::It takes a better story to scare us and we will not be intimidated by your sore attempts to make us comply to digital piracy and file sharing. Not Now! Not Ever!

To our honest and valued customers, scrap designers, hobbyists, card artisans and web designer- we will further try all in our power to serve you and provide you with material you need for your pleasure or business. Beside providing sufficient licenses adjusted to your needs with as much freedom for creating as possible - we will make sure, that others don't steal and distribute what you have paid for at least not without consequences for their doings.

sincerely yours, dedicated to the cause
