The thefts. The schemes. The people caught in the middle. A book about what really happens in the digital art world.
Share Your StoryThe digital art world moves fast. Then something goes wrong. This book collects the stories no one has put together in one place. Until now.
The greatest art heists used to happen in museums, now they happen in digital space. This book is a collection of stories about thefts, schemes, and the people caught in the middle of digital art crimes (and misdemeanors).
Behind every case is a real person. If something happened to you or someone you know, your story could end up in this book. The more people speak up, the harder these stories are to ignore.
The stories tend to fall into two buckets, but the lines blur. If something happened to you, it probably belongs here, even if you're not sure where.
Stolen art, drained wallets, fake collections, schemes that cost people real money and real work
Work scraped without permission, art made by machines, and the growing fight over who owns what
Something happened to you. Or you watched it happen to someone else. Either way, we want to hear it. All submissions are confidential.
