This site is unsafe! 
it was literally made to (from accusations I've heard before) give viruses. it is not a safe site, and it is literally just a scam site. 
this site has been up for a long, long time. and it's not targeting your art or anyone's specifically, its essentially a search engine using the keyword you used to find artwork and pictures to "sell" it.
it's not actually being sold.
and don't try to file a DMCA claim. from the claims I've seen before, it leads to viruses and other scam-y stuff. 
(i don't know the details but trust me. It's NOT WORTH IT! this thing has been around forever, and ANYONE's art will show up there. 

THIS IS A PHISHING SITE! IT PRAYS ON OUR PROTECTIVE NATURE OF OUR WORK TO SCAM US AND INFECT OUR COMPUTERS. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT GO TO THIS SITE, OR REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!

(ice, i strongly urge that the link should be removed, for other peoples safety <3)



other PSA'S about it:

A PSA about Copycover and other phishing sitesA friend of mine just tagget me, and many other of his friends, about a site that seamed to have made illegal phone cases with our art on it. Notice the word "seamed", as this was nothing but a sick trick to get our attention. Our art are not actually saved on the site, rather it shows us some kind of search result. I do not know how they do this, and I’m not interessted in visiting the site to find out.
Sites like Copycover pray on our protective nature thorwards our and our friends work. While we can never be too certain about what the intent of this trick is, or how they do it, it most likely have something to do with gathering some of our information. It could be anything from acting like a trojan, to what I suspect to be the case; trick us into fileing a copyright claim, which will require us sending personal information to the individual(s) running the site. Such info, + info that the site’s possible cookies could have gatherd, can be sold to a third party. The third

   CopyCover is a PHISHING SITE!There have been a TON of journals and statuses about a site called CopyCover lately...WHATEVER YOU DO
DO NOT GO TO THIS SITE. 
They're "selling" phone cases with stolen artwork on them, don't be fooled! They're using a Google images based search engine for these images, they aren't sellers, it's a bot! Any usernames you look up are automatically added to the site!
10/10 your art will be on the site
 DO NOT FILE A DMCA CLAIM OR GIVE THEM ANY KIND OF INFORMATION.


COPYCOVER IS A PHISHING WEBSITE.

If you have entered any info, emails, passwords or whatever...
CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS AND ON THE SAFE SIDE RUN AN ANTIVIRUS SCAN!
This site is very similar to the site called PayPoster that was going around years ago, so CopyCover is basically PayPoster 2.0!
Please be careful, if someone tells you your artwork is "stolen"  and they direct you to a site outside of dA or any big social media site...IT'S A BIG RED FLAG!
