Reposting Artwork *UPDATE*

Gackt's Dears in Russia had reposted numerous pieces of my artwork on their site without permission from me. http://vkontakte.ru/club20816
I created a public notice, as GACKT ARMY LJ was given as a source and works by other members may be posted at the site.
As they discovered that I was unhappy, they took down all of my work from their site, and contacted me with an apology, which makes me very happy and encouraged. And we will keep in touch with the maintainers to see if any member's work is posted on the site without their permission.
The issue with (me personally) about reposting is that I do the fanwork for free - the only reward I get are comments, and when I don't know where work is shown, I don't ever see them.
Sometimes I have allowed people to repost artwork in other forums (one in South Korea) no one should assume because work has been posted with a name credit or a link that this is approved by me.
Translations of Gackt's Crowded House from English have not been approved by me. I am going to work with friends to get official versions of them out in different languages that will be exclusive to certain sites.
Thank You!
