When we get a report of a stolen image we then have to take our time and try to find it. But if you know where it's from provide us a link to that information. Send a PM if you need to, to sharie, illumina, resurepus, myself or brandyarnold

If a designer gets caught using another image they definitely should be booted not just for lacking imagination but for not covering their tracks well enough. Even novice designers no how to manipulate and muddle stolen ideas to the point of disassociation.
They are booted for theft and lack of integrity. I don't think we should even joke about the idea of manipulation, that is still compromising your integrity....

OK but do you check first if the similarities are big enough to be called a theft? I mean,... nowadays it's almost impossible to make something entirely new (someone, somewhere, somehow might have made a similar thing, but the uploading designer not necessarily knows that....)
ncuxuka, we take this issue very seriously. Any and all reported or suspected use of clipart or similarities to other artwork are reviewed on an individual basis. We understand that sometimes similarities are an honest mistake.

it's pretty obvious when something is original or not. Concepts are similar, but very rarely are images SO close that they're mistakenly labeled as plagiarism.
