today we searched the internet .. for what random reason ever .. if somebody may have stolen our photos. The result is shocking:

--> [link] (i'm not really sure what happend here)

--> [link]

--> [link] (almost at the end of the page) [link] [link]

--> [link]

--> [link] [link] (at the bottom)

--> [link] (the 3rd)

--> [link] (this is ugly)



-----> those are some of them, we actually found more, we just don't want to post all of them, Serena still is looking through our gallery to find some more ...

EDIT: oh my god !! some of them actually get money from it !!!

--> [link] [link] [link] (all kinds of wallpaper downloads ??) [link] [link] [link]  [link]

this is too much, i have to puke now ..

as i said - i´m totally shocked, i never thought this would happen. Somehow i feel flattered, because people think our stuff is good enough to be stolen, i always thought it's too bad to be stolen. But on the other hand .. i don't want it to be like this, those are Serenas and my ideas and works .. it belongs to us.
Firstly i thought we never will upload a photo again, .. but thats quite not what we want .. but we don't want to have a big DeviantArt Watermark either ... so we agree on putting a lot of Watermarks on the Photo, so that it will be hard to use it, a full resolution image without watermarks or perhaps just one will be available for download in exchange for points .. so at least we get something if somebody wants to use it.
I feel sorry for this, but i don't want our mental property to be stolen any longer. Some of them are a manifestation of our love, that quite hurts ..
