hmmm, ok..

Getting back to what this thread REALLY was about: the person who stole my Face Your Fears font (heylookmyeditions - 2nd link) has come to her senses and removed the font from deviantart!

Hey Vinz,

No I opened a 'copyright infringement case' (under 'contact'): they already wrote me twice. Needed to give them all kinds of stuff, like proof of ownership of the fonts and some links. Hope it works.
Which font did they steal from you?

oye gatovaca, yo se! I opened a copyright case with deviant art - maybe it'll help a bit.

There seem to be persons on deviant art who upload fonts by us, then pretend they are theirs. Vinz told me he has a problem here as well, so I had a look and guess what:

Hey Vinz,

Yeah..... I was afraid it would be like this. I guess I'll redo my fonts and just create the basic character set.
Thanks a lot, you've been a great help! And.... good luck with the deviant art case!

Ok, I know this must have been asked before, but I am going to ask y'all again.
For some reason my fonts show up on shady websites all over the place, some of them not even remotely connected to typography or fonts. I know these morons try to generate more flow to their websites, but it just doesn't seem right to me.
I came across one website which listed my fonts as freeware, telling people to YES, go ahead and modify my fonts! Resell the lot, why don't ya?

What are your experiences with this, how did you cope with this and is there a way to actually protect your babies from these vultures?

I am beginning to think that the only way to protect your fonts is to just upload demo versions, with only an A-Z character set..

(and Koeiekat: yes, I include license info inside the font itself!) ;-)

Ludwig van Beethoven was deaf.

Jan 31, 2011 at 08:39 [reply] OK to copyright work using these fonts?

Contacting the authors of the fonts you like is ALWAYS a good idea!
In general I think you can use the fonts for your design, but I'm not sure about the copyright issues with your designs (as the design is yours, but the font inside the design is not yours)..

Jan 24, 2011 at 18:21 [reply] Font...

Hmm... I don't think it's my font, but if yes, then they should have donated (as the fon't been downloaded XXXtimes, but no donations!)... GRRR
But then again: it's probably not Business As Usual
