Apology to CreativeCow.net

Here at Envato we take plagiarism and piracy very seriously. We endeavor to take swift and decisive action wherever it raises its ugly head, whether it be in removing items from our marketplaces, contacting file sharing sites distributing our authors content, or investigating each and every claim that comes in to support.

Sadly, late last week we at Envato discovered that some of our commissioned blog posts here on the VideoHive blog were a very close copy in concepts, structure and imagery, if not word for word, from a site we here at VideoHive respect greatly – CreativeCow. We have removed all the offending content from the blog, and as this has cast doubt on the work of the writer in question, have permanently removed every article they have written for us.

This is a regrettable situation, made all the more upsetting by the fact that we as an organization have always prided ourselves on original content and a hard stance on copyright.

We sincerely apologise to Ron Lindeboom, Marco Solorio and their team at CreativeCow, and thank them for drawing this to our attention.

Mark is working right now to reinvigorate the blog with new and original content, so stay tuned!
