peterandcompany:PHISHING WARNING: AVOID WALLPART AT ALL...



peterandcompany:

PHISHING WARNING: AVOID WALLPART AT ALL COSTS

Over the past 24 hours I have been notified by several people about pages of Peter & Company and other pieces of my artwork being supposedly “available for sale” through a site called Wallpart (which I will not link in this post, for reasons explained below), and in the same time span I have seen many other artists make journals/submissions/posts talking about finding their own work on there as well. Naturally, the inclination of any artist finding their work available for sale without their consent is to head to the “Report Violation” link attached to every listing and file a complaint to have it removed.

PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT FILL OUT THE VIOLATION REPORT ON WALLPART’S WEBSITE.

This site already has a bit of a history, and I’ve read several posts from people who dove into their site code and snooped around. Long story short, there are some very devious bait-and-switch tactics going on. Essentially:

- I have not found any confirmation that they are actually selling any of the images/prints that appear on their site. Their “search function” is nothing but scraper software, which essentially just loads up hits from Google Images and displays them within a pre-built “shop” template based on the image’s resolution. This is why every single piece on there has a title that is lifted directly from whatever gallery site (FA/DA/Weasyl) or general website was hosting it. Example: They have my title card from my Kickstarter page for the P&C pilot, with the title lifted straight off the description.
- The dependence on Google Images is also why doing a search for your own name will turn up different results each time, or possibly no results at all, even though the listings still seem to exist if you have a direct URL to them. Their “search” function never actually searches their own listings; it even offers the same real-time suggestions that you’d get from a Google search bar. Confusingly enough, performing the same search multiple times often returns different results at different times throughout the day. I was able to find dozens of P&C pages supposedly for sale by searching my name yesterday, but today none of them show up in search results – even though the direct links to the page forms (which I saved) still exist.
- Their “Report Violation” link is actually a 100% phishing form. If you fill it out, no matter what you put there, you will be sending them a LOT more than you anticipated. This is actually the main purpose for the site’s existence – they completely anticipate artists being upset about their work supposedly being sold, so they developed a system to exploit those who complain.
- Various pieces of malware and other malicious code have been found embedded throughout their pages at different times. This site is just bad news all around.
- The site itself is hosted in Russia, and has already swapped web hosts 4 times in the past few months. The current host is listed as ENOM, and other bloggers/artists have already sent complaints and reports to their contact page, with little luck. It looks like it’s already been branded and caught in the past and is trying to keep itself alive.
- Also, for a site claiming to have “billions of images” available for print, to only have a little over 3,000 “happy customers” should be a pretty big red flag on its own.

So please – DO NOT VISIT THIS SITE. Do not attempt to search for your own artwork in its listings; if your work shows up on Google, it is guaranteed to be on that site. They’re even listing “prints” of web banners and other graphical elements that were never intended for printing. Do not give it page views, and most importantly DO NOT FILL OUT ANY VIOLATION FORMS, EVEN IF THE ARTWORK ON THE PAGE IS YOUR OWN. Instead, there is a Change.org petition asking for the domain to be stripped and brought down.

Please share the word around as much as possible so other artists don’t potentially fall into their trap by thinking that their “Report Violation” page is actually what it claims to be. These people are pure scam artists, plain and simple. Avoid them at all costs.

tombstonepizza: How to cook a Tombstone...



tombstonepizza:

How to cook a Tombstone pizza.

Making pizza- good pizza, even!- isn’t really that hard. It also fills your home with the scent of alcohol from all those little yeasties, giving it a certain amount of prestige that says, “I made this.”

Don’t want to make the dough? Okay. There’s some pizza dough in many good grocery stores. If there isn’t, call up your favorite mom & pop pizza joint and ask if you can buy the dough from them! Keep the dough in the freezer until you want to make a pizza. Just… thaw the dough in the fridge and not on the counter, but I can see you were gonna do that anyway. No, I haven’t been watching a lot of Good Eats lately, why do you ask? It’s not like I would ever want to associate myself with tasty food and… ᵒᵏᵃʸ ʸᵒᵘ ᵍᵒᵗ ᵐᵉ⋅

Oh, and cooked pizza also freezes really well, too. Just reheat it in an oven and there you go, homemade frozen pizza! (I never figured out how to reheat it on the stovetop- but if you can, more power to you. At least you’re not sticking your amazing pizza in the microwave to die a sad, lonely, and possibly painful death.)

Though to be fair, it does tell you how to enjoy a Tombstone® pizza, not a good pizza. 😜

Also, thanks to staff for reminding me to turn AdBlock back on.

There’s a perfectly good chandelier to swing over on RIGHT THERE. Obvious puzzle is obvious.

No, that chandelier is too far away. You’ll take fall damage if you try jumping to it. You gotta hang off the ledge and shimmy across to get to there.

raggedick:

OK Tumblr, 

i see a lot of reblogs for Bernie here but we have to make sure we’re taking actions to ensure he has a fighting chance in this arena. His opponents have the money and the media circus backing them but he has us, so let’s run it! 

The primaries are elections held months before the ACTUAL presidential election that basically decide who the main candidates for each party will be, specifically, who will be listed on the ballot in the election in November. if we want Bernie to stand a chance at all he MUST be on the ballot in November. For that to become a reality we need everyone reading this to get them and their friends to vote in the Primaries! I’ve used the site http://bit.ly/1UIBthJ to list the following info below so you can all see it easily enough and share it with just a click. Check your state below for the appropriate information on when and how to vote in the primaries! 

Below are the registration and voting dates for all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington DC (as a separate voting date). Be sure to register! Click your state to find out how! Below is a key to reading the following information!

Some states have open registration meaning it doesn’t matter which party you’re registered as, you can still vote for Bernie.

*** Some states are CLOSED meaning you MUST be registered as DEMOCRAT by the date’s I’ve listed to vote for Bernie. 

*~* Some states are SEMI-CLOSED meaning you must be registered as DEMOCRAT or UNDECLARED to vote for Bernie.

# means you can register or switch parties the day of voting at the voting station. 

NEW YORK!!! you have less than 30 days to register even tho your primaries aren’t until April. PLEASE GO REGISTER AND TELL EVERYONE ELSE!

REMINDER: About half of the states allow 17 year olds to vote in the primaries if they will be 18 years of age by the actual election. Check if your state let’s you do this and you can help if it is a state that allows this!

Another reminder: any state with closed primaries (marked by ***)– that is, you can only vote in the party you’re registered for– those registration deadlines are also the deadlines to change your party. You’ll be able to fill out the same form! Just make sure to tick the box that says “Change of Party” next to it!
