PLEASE PLEASE I need your help.I have been dealing this past week with a bootleg of 2 of my pieces of art for sale on EBAY. I have contacted the powers that be, and filled out the necessary forms. Problem is the bootlegger is a TOP RATED seller (mostly solar equipment) on EBAY and I am not. That said this is what I would appreciate your help on. Every Auction has a question for the seller at the very bottom of the listing. I would like you to in your own words tell him you know the artist Alma Lee and his listing is not part of her official site or auctions. Ask him to please respect copyrights, as the sole providence of the artist. This may seem like a small problem but it really is not. I lost control of all the art work I did pre 2006 to China. It went "national" meaning they consider it property of China. They produce my same art on various products at will and I don't see a cent. I have reason to believe this is what is going on now with several of my pieces. I want to put an end to it . I will tell you the girl and the cat (love me Love my Cat)original was sold it was a 9x12" in color pencils. I still retain the original of Christ and the Thief. The bootlegged copies are very good and even include the "hidden" marks I put in every piece. Here are the links and I hope you will help
