I am specifically writing to +you in regards to a website illegally using my work for profit, primarily +using images from my Instagram page ([private]). My email +address is listed at the top of my Instagram page if you need to confirm my +identity. + +Here is the offending material. You can see here my Instagram images have +been published in a gallery crediting me as "Min Soo Ky." + +https://altscifi.github.io/store/art/min.soo.ky.html# +https://altscifi.github.io/store/art/min.soo.ky.html#%EA%B5%AC%EB%AF%B8%ED%98%B8-look-2 +https://altscifi.github.io/store/art/min.soo.ky.html#%EA%B5%AC%EB%AF%B8%ED%98%B8-look-1 +https://altscifi.github.io/store/art/min.soo.ky.html#haunted-beauty-closer +https://altscifi.github.io/store/art/min.soo.ky.html#the-vampire +https://altscifi.github.io/store/art/min.soo.ky.html#haunted-beauty +https://altscifi.github.io/store/art/min.soo.ky.html#based-off-a-sculpture-by-the-very-talented-tina-yu + +I have linked to every image from my IG below: +[private] + +I have also taken screenshots and video clips of the location where the +offending material is being used. I can send these clips and screenshots +over if requested. + +The website in question is offering a monthly subscription fee (located +here: https://altscifi.github.io/store/art/join.html) for $7 as well, so +they are making a monetary profit from their website while using my images, +without permission. They have never personally contacted me before +publishing my photos and I have never authorized the use of my photos in +this manner. I would never allow a website to make money - for themselves - off my work. + +Other artists have also commented that he has taken their work and is +selling these works as prints on this website - while I cannot obviously +file a DMCA takedown on their behalf, you should also be aware he is trying +to make money off prints as well. + +None of my work, including this, is under any sort of creative commons +license. I only grant permission, via email, for my work to be used on +other websites not owned by me. + +To rectify this situation, I want my photos removed.
