*April's Blog Train Blog* Pirates NOT Allowed

All of the designers that hopped aboard this train, really put a lot of thought and feeling into this kit. We decided to try to make a statement to all those Digital Pirates out there (kit/file stealers) that you are not welcome in our world. Pirates NOT Allowed, is a kit that we have put together to take a stand as a whole community.
We made it light and fun, so it can be used for other purposes, but please remember that file sharing, and pirating is just plain wrong and illegal. It isn't hard if you want to "share our products" to simply LINK to our blogs/ stores. Don't steal and for sure don't pass them off as your own. We work hard and spend lots of time on our designs, whether big or small, and we deserve the credit.

I applaud all of the designers who have come together to make a statement.

"Piracy Is NOT Allowed"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I am here today to bring you this Fabulous list of 101 Designers for the presentation of:




Here is a slide-show of *most* of the part's you'll be collecting along the way:

*Please remember our designers are from ALL over the world, and time differences do play a factor in when they get their parts up. Please notify me if you do not see a designers part up within 1 full day of the train launching. ALL parts SHOULD be active for a full 30 days, after which we have allowed some designers to put their parts in stores they sell in. So if you see a part and it isn't available, you might just find it in their store :)

  15. Wow! What a production! Thank you so much. Even more thanks for those offering direct links. And many many more thanks to those who were s4h friendly. And finally, thank goodness for automatic extraction programs. Now time to unzip many fabulous pirate-y elements... :)

  16. Awesome kits - thank you so much!

    And thanks for bringing attention to this problem.

  17. What a brilliant theme and fabulous contributions.
    Inspired!

    As a brand new designer I'm guessing piracy may become something that concerns me as well so I shall be sure to support all of these designers by downloading and leaving some comment love, and of course ensuring the 'No piracy' message continues to be spread.

  18. Thanks for a great train.
    Just thought I'd let you know, Studio RA Designs' part is not up yet...

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wow, this is great, I have two sets of pictures with a pirate theme to scrap! and a good cause!

  20. A BIG THANKS to all the designers for their beautiful work....THANKS SO MUCH for sharing!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. What a fabulous train - they are always good but this one has left my hard drive groaning! Such beautiful designs. A massive thank you to all involved - designers and organisers. SO many people avoided using 4-share that the downloading was a breeze too and the train was a complete pleasure.

    I sincerely hope that the message will come across not just to the pirates themselves but the people that buy/download from them. If it does not look like the work of one person or has a different name on the PV - think twice and check!!

    Hugs and best wishes

  25. Thank you Ladies, for all your hard work! Such beautiful work!
    I am also VERY thankful for the direct links and the MediaFire links. I had trouble with some of the 4-Shared links, as usual :(

    The list of 7 designers above still don't have their parts up, so I'm assuming either they forgot or they've simply been too busy with other things. Understandable, but maybe their links should be removed from the list for those who have yet to ride the train? Just a suggestion.

    Thanks again! What a fun, but very important, theme!

    ReplyDelete
  26. A big thank you to ALL the wonderful designers. Love this blog train. I have some cute pirate pictures to scrap, so this will be perfect!

    THANK YOU ALL!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Of the list of designers above, I am also missing no 50 - Just Creations...or am I missing something on the page?

    No biggie I understand that things can happen, but agree that maybe the links should be removed.

    Love this train and thanks for all the wonderful work of the designers

  28. I commented on each designer's blog if I DLed their portion...but I wanted to say here THANK YOU for another wonderful blog train! And it's a wonderful theme with a great message! My DD (3.5yo) saw a few of the blogs as I was DLing and loved everything! :) She isn't big into pirates, but this blog train might change that. :)

    I really appreciate all of the contributions but it is frustrating to continue looking for those missing, not sure why they can't have their names removed.

  33. Thank you for such a great train!

  34. As a fellow designer, I appreciate the concept of this train. Although I didn't comment on many of the dl's because my computer time is limited, I do appreciate the effort that went into making each and every contribution. Also, both my kids were pirates last halloween, will be this halloween and we're having a pirate theme party on our vacation cruise. These wonderful kits will come in handy.

  35. Thank you designers. May I respectfully suggest that designers be VERY careful about how they name their files? Some unzipped to "untitled-1.jpg", "untitled-2.jpg" and some don't have names that tie to their stores or are easy to decipher. To retain credit for your work, a key step is to name your product files clearly. Thanks for listening.

  36. I've just sent five hours visiting each site and downloading (almost) everything. Thank you all so much for a fun project with an important message.

    ReplyDelete
  37. A big THANK YOU! to everyone who participated and shared all these wonderful kits. I didn't comment on all the blogs, sorry. Last time I did put my email to comments where it was required and was flooded with spams and phishing attempts. I know it's not due to anyone's fault but I have to skip these for now. Anywhoo, to all of you:
    Thank you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
