Rurouni Kenshin Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Someone tell him that the user "thefingdragon" is using My Sexy Kaoru as his own art... :flaming: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cloricus Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Why do you care? Your avatar is plagiarised, in fact half the graphics on this site are and on most of the internet. So no need to get irate about it as there is no rush and I'm sure Adam reads his email just not 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 [color=#707875]It depends what we're talking about here. If we're talking about someone using official art and modifying it, that's a different story. But if we're talking about someone taking your own personal art and plagiarising it...that's obviously a serious issue. I recommend emailing Adam (though he'll probably see your message here). We always do our best to ensure that people are keeping above board on the art site.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 [COLOR=DarkRed][size=1]I think what he meant Cloricus was that, yeah his avatar may be plagiarised, but this other guy is saying that 'the art is his own work', which it obviously isn't. That's my two cents.[/size][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 [color=#707875]Absolutely, this is a significant problem. We are now in a situation where we have to idenitfy people who aren't doing their own work, but who are going to increasingly great lengths to increase their own ratings. Some people are even trying to register multiple accounts, [i]just [/i]to vote for their own stuff multiple times. It's really unfortunate...but it's the reality when you have a community of this size.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cloricus Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 It doesn't matter if they say it's theirs or not; it is being used without the authors express permission which is plagiarism (and possibly copyright infringement). So if you allow one type why complain about a slightly different one? Not saying that either is acceptable but there is no need to be over eager to do anything about it since other types are ignored, just chill and use the usual channels of reporting and everything will happen in due time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you allow one type why complain about a slightly different one? [/QUOTE][color=#707875]I have a feeling that anime creators won't be lining up to sue kids who are using their art for fan art. It's the same reason why Nintendo doesn't sue people for sharing screenshots without permission. There isn't any breach of copyright. In any case, we're not ignoring anything. All cases of plagiarism will be dealt with in due course. It's just that, obviously, we already have a [i]lot [/i]of work on our hands all the time. So it can occasionally take time to address every single issue.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
