Predictions for season 2:
"dear princess celestia,

Today I learned that its wrong to steal, even if nothing is physically being taken away from the person stolen from. You wouldn't download a car, would you?"

"To my faithful student,

What's a car?"

See, it's stuff like this that makes people stop contributing because they don't like their work getting stolen.

"Stealing" implies that something is taken away, as in that the original owner is deprived of it.

That being said, give credit where credit is due and don't be an asshat.

Pff, that's not stealing.

Recreating someone else's work and passing it off as your own is stealing. If it's properly accredited as someone else's work you're just showing it off, it's not theft.

I'm pretty sure this is a dupe. Silk Sk himself posted this already, including the continuing part where he credits the guy who made the vectors. He also already told this Sibsy is apparently someone who actually works on the show. Other bronies have pointed out that a professional artist should know better than post stuff on the net that they don't want copied around.

Yeah, in case anyone was wondering, this was when that picture of the muscular guy walking a colorful, tiny Twilight Sparkle on a leash got posted to the My Little Brony website.
Sibsy here called foul since the drawing was a vector of her art.
While I can see both sides of the argument, I do have to agree Silk_sk isn't winning any points here. Yeah, this image kind of evolved out of Sibsy's control, but that doesn't mean you can say "finders keepers."
What they should've done instead was to say, "Thanks for pointing that out! You guys should check out the rest of Sibsy's work. She works on the show, and she's awesome. Here's a link."
'Cause who knows? Maybe Silk honestly didn't know it was Sibsy's art.

I hope you all know who Sibsy is.
It might not be 100% wrong to use someone elses drawing without asking but crediting, but it is still nice to do so.

I made the vectors, but there is no need to give me credit. Link to her DA instead

See, that's the problem. Just because someone on the internet CAN use somebody's work, it doesn't mean they should. The artists are doing you the service of producing art, they should be the ones who control it.

So many people here act like they're entitled to everything there is out there, and entitled to have it exactly their way. I see countless edits made because people don't like the content of the image. Someone puts their character in it? Oh well, that bugs somebody, better remove the work the artist put into it because we're entitled to have the pictures we want, right? Someone put a watermark on because they don't want stuff like this happening? Fuck them, we want a clear picture, so we'll just go ahead and remove it for them.

It's the artist's work, they don't owe you an image you agree to unless you're paying them. Because seriously, it's stuff like this that drives creative people away from sharing their work with you.

It's especially not cool to do this to one of the people who actually work on MLP:FIM.

Just ask for permission before you use other peoples art. No big deal

In general I have no problem if someone uses one of my pictures somewhere. But it would be nice, if someone would tell me about it, so I can see the feedback here too! :D
For a long time I didn't know that one of my comics and a drawing has been posted here which go a lot of comments for example.

Its a bit more problematic for artists like Sibsy, who are more professional artists and live from their drawings. It could even cause some legal problems I think.

Legal problems? I don't think so, she gave me permission to create the vectors.

I'll steal it.
Noone will ever know.

And if they do... then who cares?

Also Sibsy could always start adding watermarks and all.

Given that it isn't art that was produced for a professional purpose (was it? It was just a little side thing for fun, right) I can't really see it being a legal thing. It's just... the attitude that gets me. How hard would it have been to just say "I'm sorry, I'll ask in the future." That would be it, it would respect the artist's wishes, and it would let them keep doing what they were doing.

But no, instead the artist was told that their simple, reasonable request was silly, that the artist was out of line for thinking otherwise, and that they basically have no rights as far as their work goes.

@Sonlir:
Why, so people will bitch and moan about jackass artists using watermarks, and then edit it out?

I already posted this a while ago. A lot of the context is lost here.

>>50534

No, I did NOT know it was Sibsy's drawing when I used it in the picture. Someone vectorized it and posted it here.

>>49606

A few minutes later, I made that picture. I did not take any kind of credit for making the drawing, it's just standard meme-shoop shenanigans.

And just so everyone knows, I had a nice chat with her on deviantart and we're totally cool. She wasn't even that mad to begin with.

Yes, because being polite is too inconvenient when "complimenting" someone. -:)

She was nice because she's cool. :/ It'd have been cool if you did the same as well.
Smart-assing and trying to teach an artist about the ways of the internet? Not cool.
And too many people on the net have their works stolen and used not just by random netizens but companies too for "not a crime, a compliment" to be funny anymore.
I'm not angry at all, we are all unintentionally dick-ish sometimes, but I wish you had responded to her more politely.

Yes, I've long been regretting what I said and I have since apologized.
