itt: we pretend deviantart retraces get hit with creative commons suits

@DeadbeatWalking

Hey I didn’t say it always works, but a lot of times it does.

@Poi wow, talkative bunch of people 😁

Tends to happen when people have differing views such as when this happened.

@Poi

Pardon my French, but holy shit! Almost 200 posts 🤣

We--and a few others--may have been on different footing within the thread in the off-topic section, but since you seem to be sticking around for the long haul, allow me to be the first to say welcome. If you want to roleplay or simply talk/discuss something or even say hello, feel free to send me a PM.

Anyway, that being said, I'll leave you with this:

@Poi

Disagreements happen, it’s apart of life, so no worries.

Thank you and I will do so 😁

Wow we have blown this post up 🤯

@Iuniper this is why I usually only use deviantart so I can use their Creative Commons license, which gives my artwork some protection. Anywhere else it’s posted, the image has a big ugly mark of my name on it. (I make sure it covers the majority of the image so it’s almost impossible to remove)

Very very true, patience is something I do regretfully lack a lot of times. And I agree with @Inkarnate, rules are hard to change, especially when there’s so many disagreements over the matter at hand. when it’s a hot topic like this hopefully some agreements and compromises that make the majority happy, can be made.

At least on this website there are people who care and wish to do something about it. There’s a lot of blogs that couldn’t care less.

In the end issues like this will still continue everywhere because there’s so many people that couldn’t care less.

In my opinion there could be a rule like “name your sources” just to be courteous.

Not sure what to make of that 😒

I don't want to use the "exposure" card. Because that's what people do to youtuber's when they make 'reaction videos', and I find that practice far more insidious, because money is often being made. I find art usage more often a harmless crime, that everyone who has ever used the internet has committed.

If they prove their work is there's and make a polite request to the person with the copyrighted material. The other person will likely and should replace it. It's just called being a good person at that point. But every person who acts self-righteous about it, doesn't earn my sympathy and is very likely a hypocrite, even if it is a more personal picture. If it's being used on a random roleplaying forum, you bet your behind it's being used elsewhere too.

I'm not saying that's right, but I'm saying it's something you have to be aware will happen submitting your work, especially on an art sharing site. You need to be careful, you can act like your life is private all you want. But in this day and age people are willingly giving all their information the moment they use google, facebook, post a picture anywhere at all. Etc. The rest comes down to being civil and a good person. Least that's my thoughts on the matter.

I actually have had art before, commission and paid for by me. Some random person on the internet used it and eventually after talking with him, he edited the colors and used it as his own, until he eventually had money to buy his own art. And he thanked me for it. Someone who was an asshole, who drew comic about murdering me (twice), stole music that I created and used a sarcastic picture of mine on their hate blog of me. (The glory days of being e-famous.) And you know what I lost?

Absolutely nothing. So I'm actually not a hypocrite, if people post art I paid for. I don't mind at all, because I've never felt that deeply connected to art or things like that to be an asshole about it. Not calling you that, although...

That "I'm rubber, your glue" attack doesn't really hold much weight. Because you proved my point already didn't you? You didn't need to change the image, -I wasn't the user- and yet you did anyway right away. (Though likely to Streisand Effect yourself.) You weren't even apologetic or sorry about it, you blamed me for pointing out your hypocrisy, which it wasn't an attack. It was a factual statement.

My simple point is, I wasn't judging that I know you. I'm saying you shouldn't be judging hundreds of people, whom are likely kids that aren't doing anything on purpose to you, or the person you're attacking in defense for. I'm saying, I believe that you care about artists you know and want to support. Like everyone who made a similar comment to yours, however be very well aware how easy it is to make that mistake yourself. Be a little more graceful to people who are trying to be respectful back. (Act like you currently are toward me, and it's not a wonder you were ignored.)

@SleepingSilence

I do care for the artists like you said, and I do have a tendency to flip my bitch switch when it’s not needed, and it’s something I’m working on. I’m sorry if I came off rude, but you gotta imagine how painful it is, to work so hard on something, then have someone just take it and use it, without any thought of how you would feel about it, and not even bothering to credit. As an artist that’s all I would ask of people who use my art, so to see someone NOT do that, and seeing people who have done that to me on multiple occasions, it’s become a HUGE pet peeve for me.

Not exactly sure what to say 🤔

Other than “hi I’m new”

And a forewarning that I can be very bipolar 😂

Can we all act like reasonable adults and not shitposting teens? That would be great. This is a discussion about site policy and the problematic issue of art appropriation not "qq this person was mean to me". Knock it off and get back on topic.

@Inkarnate

Yes ma’am 😶
