This is very serious..
Almost all of the people I watch on DeviantArt have had their art stolen by this website :
(link )

My art is on there too and I do not like it one bit >: (
The site is farming links from people's deviantART galleries and posting our artwork up without crediting anyone. Yours might be in the site too.

I really want to shut this person down but I don't know how ; __ ;

I don't think so.... Whenever people search their usernames into the search box, the website will fish out your art based on the username you've typed in so don't try to even click the website and type your username in ...

I just don't know what to do to report this page...

I didn't search anything. I just went to the site. I don't see any art, stolen or otherwise. Just a bunch of pictures of what looks like actors.

It's because you didn't search anything. If you did search a username you could find the stolen art.

I don't think the site is actually 'stealing' the art. Of all the ones I have looked up, they are hosted on other sites, like Zerochan and Art-spire. I found some Cookiehana art that's still hosted on tumblr and deviantart, too. It just seems to be search results that are searching the tagged images, photos as well as art, and then putting them up on the site. 'Farming' the search and taking the results to increase traffic and earn for all the ads on the pages.

Usually there's a contact form or email. The only people that can legally do anything is the ones that have their images put on the site and they can have it taken down because their copyright is being infringed upon.
Another thing to do is basically make an internet crusade and just inform as many people about it as possible and get the word out.
For example.
