doesnt deviantart have a report theft system? o_O

[Lauv Keiko]

۝۝۝۝۝۝۝۝۝۝

yeah, they do...but who knows who says the truth? O_O

۝۝۝۝۝۝۝۝۝۝

[littl3chocobo]

it does not work, none of the reports do unless you own the art, the mods have said so themselves


i dunno sweetie, i am not going to look for the camera matches, not with my head pounding and half the gallery lacking in info

xD in russia, art steals you.


damn, I just thought of that because the thief is from russia. xD

as awful as it sounds, i am not a photo person, i don't know who owns the arts and i recognize none, if the gallery did not contain several camera brands and so many modded images and the girl had not been a 'joined today' member with a gallery full of photos she directly claim is hers i would not have known. and worse i can't be buggered to care beyond calling her the thief she is and being done with it

[Ashy]

*hides my photobucket from choco* >.>

except i dont claim i own any of the stuff on my photobucket :P

[littl3chocobo]

if you share the files or use them in derivative works it is theft, if you just have them what am i to say?

xD @ ashy: I have a photobucket account too, but some photos aren't mine.


@choc: oh yeah! those details beside an image!

I support this movement!

[littl3chocobo]

woo!


yeah, they tell you the make and year and speed and stuff

[Ashy]

theres a difference between sharing and theft, a lot of sources are more than happy to let you use their work as long as you dont claim it as your own. Capcom is probably the biggest company i can think of off the top of my head that encourages circulating of its content :P

[littl3chocobo]

let me rephrase, distributing copyrighted and unknown files for others to use

[Lauv Keiko]

۝۝۝۝۝۝۝۝۝۝

@bun bun: Yay! :D

@Choc: so basically the memes online are art theft?

۝۝۝۝۝۝۝۝۝۝

[littl3chocobo]

no, memes are(in theory) free-share files, they are /meant/ to be used and reused

[Ashy]

i get you now choco :P

keiko people are using the memes under the fair use policy, its the same as you drawing your country's flag and not getting sued for theft :P

theres certain criteria you have to adhere to such as not profiting from using them, so the maker of the memes would have the right to sue a tshirt company selling shirts with the memes on them for a portion of their profits :o

[littl3chocobo]

exactly


it is why selling fanart is weird for me to get around >n>;
