I have seen an ai prompt and tag of your name on porn sites. And ai is bad, but it did an okay job replicating you. Which is worrying but it's just stills. I doubt they can do video. Stay safe out there and be careful what you click on.

Hope your virus didn’t cause too much lasting damage and I hope you’re able to protect your artwork from infringement

We need an ushi-attorney to take their asses to court.

well who knows how the online space will shape out with how things are going, but I do believe in supporting creators and their efforts.

Tl;dr purges hurt the artwork and make it harder to show people to join. Remove the new stuff, leave the older works alone, don't use mega (It is pretty bad and costs more to maintain in the long run) make your own website to store your content on and lock content that is newer up to a year behind the $10 paywall 2 year behind the $5 and the rest of the content behind the remaining tier. Gather all the old works as well as to archive the content (If I have to I would happily pay for said server host it and maintain it.), Also kill AI. The long version. (there is quite a bit but again it's a doozy since I didn't come to support only for everything to be purged on every other site imaginable) I honestly wished people didn't use it for ai art. But I also kinda wish patreon got it's act together. Because it sucks trying to scroll down in patreon. I mean I can sympathize with both sides not a lot of people wanna shill out 10 dollars just to get access to a piece of artwork every month. Subscription fees are expensive. Add on other artists and the ever growing cost for commission fees it just eventually will burst. Think of it this way you can go pay to see the monolisa sure but again you only ever have to do it the once to get a picture which will last a lifetime. I mean I came from those off brand websites. When the sudden purge of one of those websites occurred I transferred over and shill out the money to see the content. But again a lot of the old art that was there was lost. It's gone now I couldn't find it on here. And yeah some of those old art works showed up in some of those other sites eventually. But I'm one broken arm away from being unable to support an artist I love. Hell one of the most memorable characters I have for a player base was based off just how Kk looks (It's the old gif from back in the days with the handgun) and honestly I fear the day either patreon or some other website purges an artist I support. Cause what then? What if I can't support the creator regularly (ie they go to a place where I can't pay). Years of hard done artwork is disintegrated removed from the internet. I personally think letting the old stuff stay is fine. Cause If I was to exercise my rights. I would put maybe 1 year time frame (End of the year the content becomes archivable on one of those websites and not police it or make your own website to store the content I know a few people who do that. Though I do recommend making your own booru or website just in general) that way you can regulate the paywall content and the not paywall content. If people don't wanna pay for it you'll stop so some people will pay to support you (I know I will I have a folder set aside for the eventual destruction by a payment processor or someone else because I don't like when art gets destroyed). You could push it out to 2 years (since you have so much content) but most people don't have the time or the money and my personal opinion is art is meant to be shared. AS for the AI models we need laws to treat them like videotaping and photography of real things on private property or something. Since that's dumb and people should be ashamed for using these Ai art tools. If the simple fact is you want to destroy all the artworks that is completely fine for you but to me it's not something I could support. I would never condone the destruction of art or erasure of media. (It's actually the reason I actually dislike many websites. I understand there is a limited amount of space for everything but the fact you can't find an artist due to a purge is heart breaking.)

My work was also republished on one of those sites, even if I publish almost everything I do a week later for free on DA, People who republish work simply don´t care. Report them to Patreon and lets keep making art.

Simple and effective. Let's hope everyone takes this seriously. I hope the virus isn't too violent

I'm sorry that there are people who are doing this to you

My new pc did crazy s*** too Now is working

I'm a big supporter of copyright infringement and intellectual property laws. China aka West Taiwan doesn't care about your rights. That's why they Chineseium and knock off everything, poorly I might add. I agree with you 100% on that. Arigato gozaimasu hope I spelled that right
