The Creations page is made for creators of artwork and videos to submit their original work. Despite this, it's common enough to see stolen work on the page. Often it is hard to tell, but recently there has been one user who has been reposting stolen art from dozens of creators. The trending page of Creations is flooded with stolen artwork, which isn't fair to the creators of the original works or people trying to post original content of their own. All of the entries are titled in French. It should be obvious which ones these are.
People work very hard on their artwork. Please help combat theft of people's creations by using the report tool that appears in the drop-down menu of each creation. There is a stolen work option there. Myself and every content creator who uses that page would appreciate it.
This goes for all stolen work, but is especially prevalent now given this one user. Thanks everyone for taking your time to read this post.
Edit: Thank you so much to everyone who took their time to help out with this issue. It means a lot to me and the large community of Destiny creators out there!
Edit 2: Several of us have messaged the person in question and he has stated that he will stop posting other people's work. I'd like to thank everyone who helped spread the word. I never expected this post to get so big, so thanks a ton!

Edited by TheBeejAbides: 4/21/2017 2:19:47 PMi decided to actually PM this dude. He;s saying that he will stop because he got a warning from Cozmo. He's also saying that "he didn't know it was wrong" because he's new to the Bungie community. WTF? Have people's parents stopped teaching that stealing is wrong and damages communities? He literally told me (through google translate, lol) that he was doing this to help the community., Sigh....... EDIT: I thought about it... and I shouldn't have gotten involved. OP may have had his reasons to post this here and many of us agree that this behavior is wrong, but my specific involvement, though non-offensive and harmless, was not needed. I'm gonna try to do better next time and just stay out of stuff like this.
