Chad "Love" Lieberman, owner of art4love.com and markyourspot.com stole thousands of pieces mostly from artists from deviantArt and has been selling them from 300 to 999 dollars. I am one of the damned with 9 of my pieces being sold. Only 6 are shown here. The other three were on their image database but were not for sale at the moment the site was shut down.
You can see a list of screens of the site before it was shut down: [link] & here: [link]
Also, here's a list of ripped off artists: [link]
Info about Chad Lieberman: [link]
This guy is the nephew of ex-NYC gobernor and he's doing campaing to be the next one ([link]). Also, he's one of the 30 resident artists of the MOMA. More than being afraid of losing money with this, I'm scared this retard has put any of our pieces in the MOMA or has sold them to people from the NYC jet set.
Most of the ripped off artists cannot afford to hire a lawyer for this and many of us are not US residents, which makes things difficult. Fellow artist `alexiuss has started a donation pool here: [link] to gather funds and hire a lawyer. He's also gathering all the proofs related to this so if you're one of the ripped of artists, please visit the screenshots list above and do a collage like we're doing stating the original and stolen images. More info here: [link]
We do REALLY need to make this viral, so let's make all social media sites to explode with links and info of this situation. Personally, I'm writting a huge article which gathers all the information I've found and I'm planning to send it to major blog art and design sites. I want to build a chain to re-send the article to big newspapers as the Washington Post, New York Times and so on. This has to be known, and we all have to give our hands to make this function properly.

HOW DARE HE! HOW DARE HE STEAL FROM US! THIS WAS THEIR OWN WORK, NOT HIS!
( Grabs Mauser C96 and Flaming Lasso and runs out to punish the guy)
I hope this "Chad" guy feels horrible about what he's done, because he should.
I hate art thieves SO MUCH.
They thrive off of other people's talent, and when someone calls them out for stealing, they get really defensive.
I even know this girl who steals art and traces drawings. She criticizes MY drawings, and not at all in a nice way.
But that's beside the point.
I really can't believe anyone would try and profit off of someone else's work.

Sorry for ranting. =v="
I hope the funds for a Legal challange are raised and for the artists to be vindicated.
Nuke him good!
He is one of many but hey, do what you can.
