Trouble with Dropbox is caused by piratism
🕑 Added 2021-08-23 16:06:35 +0000 UTCHi!
It was brought to my attention that the Dropbox links don't work at the moment. After doing some digging I found out that it's because there has been too much traffic through my links, and therefore they are banned for the next 24 hours. I'm afraid this has happened because of some scrapper pages who are sharing my links on their pages. I don't believe all of you could generate over 100 000 downloads a day, which is the limit.
Well, fuck.
Here's what's going to happen now. After the 24 hours ban ends, I'll be deleting all of the old links to my Dropbox, and place everything I have published so far under a new, just one, link. I have no fucking clue how to actually stop those damn scrappers from sharing my links, so this problem could be a reoccurring problem. Maybe I have to find a way to share the files to you by E-mail, but at the moment I don't know how to do it without exhausting my depressed ass completely. Sigh. Another day, another kick in the balls, I think.
I'm terribly sorry for all the inconvenience this brings to you, my loyal and beloved fans, and I just hope that you have the patience to wait while I get this sorted out somehow. If you have some good ideas or information which could help me, I'll be grateful if you share it with me.
Everything can be fixed, but right now I would have really needed some rest without new troubles. The summer was exhausting, since I had a huge pile of projects which just needed to be finished within July. I had thought I would take a bit easier during the Autumn, but a huge gig with amazing opportunities I couldn't just let pass dropped to my lap, starting September and lasting to the end of October. In short terms, I was hired to create the art to a movie which tells about a comic artist. It's paid well and the chance to reach new audiences is huge, but it's also going to be a huge amount of work, so I can just forget about resting my weary bones for a couple of more months. So, to put it short, problems like this are just more stuff on top of a pile which is already breaking my back. But I'll manage, I have a good support network of friends and family and I have learned to avoid burning myself out so don't worry about me :)
So, this problem should disappear within the next 24 hours and I'll arrange you the link which you can use to get the files tomorrow. Once again I'm sorry about the inconvenience, but believe me, this inconveniences me a hell of a lot more. I would prefer much more to use this time to draw new good quality art for you all, but thanks to some assholes I have to deal with this shit right now... But don't worry, there will be new art coming again next week, I can't be stopped this easily :)
And for those people who do this kind of shit: You are not heroes. You are not fighting against the all-consuming monstrosity which is the modern global capitalism, you are simply pissing on the livelihood of artists and sex-workers, who quite often are already struggling financially and suffering from the ever tightening moral policing of the big internet corporations. You are hurting the very people who are giving you the small relief during these troubled times, the people who create art or help you to get the sexual release. For myself and on behalf of many other content creators I say this: Fuck you. You don't deserve to see our work if you don't believe that the people creating it can buy themselves food.

No prob dude, take your time to figure this out. Best of luck and power of will to you, we're not going anywhere! ^v^
Man, this whole thing really sucks. On the quick I also don't know an easy way to solve this problem (The easier the access-method the more vulnerable it is to piratism). Maybe you should take a week off to rest. This can work miracles. Lastly I also want to thank you for your great work which is always amazing and congrats on your new opportunity. Stay safe and don't overwork yourself.
