Theft

Journal Entry: Tue Feb 12, 2008, 5:18 PM


Damn

So it has finally happened, I thought I had been lucky to lurk in the slight level where I am popular enough to be happy but without the mirrad of thieves that come with popularity.

But the last couple of days I have found the mirrad... it is like everyone noticed me at once.

[link] If I didn't like Yugioh enough, here people are making cards of my avians.
[link] OMG people are stupid, mass theft here.
[link] Half the details are wrong
[link] WTF almost every RP on here is for cybering and it is also ripe with theft... NO, just NO

I don't understand how I can make this clear, but I DONT allow people to repost my characters and RP with them. I am sorry but get your own frigging characters to cyber with.
~"But Kilara, you shouldn't be mad, they aren't making profits from your images"
~Instead they are soiling my brain children with their sex and other things


Yes I know the photobucket thing is already said before, but I searched up Kilara on there and recieved 4 pages of reposted art, and none of it from my account on there.

"The above links are only few of what I've encountered. There are also many on DA who's names won't be mentioned. I don't consider referencing a pose theft, but copying an image directly is a whole different matter, especially offering it for sale, I take offense to that."




DO NOT USE MY CHARACTERS, CREATURES OR IMAGES FOR YOUR OWN RP/STORY/COMIC

They probably don't mean any harm since they're making the cards just for fun and the real effort goes into the card effects (although some are rather embarrassing examples) but it isn't right how they don't respect the artists they use these images from, don't use permission, and even ban those who call them out for theft :( Hopefully things will improve but they should at least cite the source of where they got their art from

The sad thing is they ban every person who tells them of their copywrite violation.
Unfortunately there will always be people who do such things and you can't do much about it. That's unless you build a device to stab people through the internet.

gosh....that must be really tough to solve. Watermarks or signatures often don't work.

Well, it seems that the web needs a better policy in this kind of case.

First off, I don't appreciate being tolled I'm on a "Power Trip". If you’re really interested in knowing the origin of my name, I’ll tell you if it’s that important for you to find no relevance between it and my Moderator status.

Anyway, I will be posting new forum rules in the Custom Card Section later tonight after some DA Members on YCM Review them. If you go on YCM and see them, keep in mind the following:

1) THIS CANNOT BE RESOLVED IN ONE NIGHT. This is going to take time to ease members into the new rules. My hopes is that one day, we can make it so all member have to request artwork.

2) WE KNOW IT'S ILLEGAL. We keep getting posts saying copyright infringement is against the law. All of us sensible members, we get it. The more immature members will NEVER understand so that's why we're making rules, they'll understand that.

3) WE NEED COOPERATION FROM BOTH SIDES. Me and the higher respected members will be setting examples for the other members. We need DA member to help. If you feel capable, please join the "YCM and DA United Peace Organization”. [link];page=1

4) THERE IS NO NEED FOR A FLAME WAR. If you ask a member to remove your art from their post, and they refuse, don’t start an argument. I will be dealing with them now. I am hoping to have 2 New Moderators to for the section to take over for me soon (1 from YCM and 1 from DA).

Wow that sucks... Imitation is the greatest form of flattery but theft is fucking annoying(Sprite theft is ultra rampant.. However funny it is to see your sprite badly colored over in Paint.. it's annoying to see).

However on a related note, i would totally use those cards.
