Someone on the internet is miffed! How unfortunate. |

Was I too harsh guys? |

I don't know if you guys realize that she is a lead storyboard artist on the show. |

meh, I don't care what they are arguing about, typical internet faggotry.
Twilight looks lovely there. |
| MaroonBunyip #397727 11 months ago |
Mate, you explained how the internet works and that having your work uncredited is very common (especially on memebase). You explained in a calm and respectful way.
Then you gave the source link! Again, very rare on memebase. Be proud of the way you handled it, usually something like that would just be overlooked. |
| Anonymous #397729 11 months ago |
bit harsh maybe, considering her position, but on the other hand it's the truth, and truth hurts either way. |
| Anonymous #397780 11 months ago |
Asking permission would have been nice, giving credit would have been nice, but as long as you're not claiming it is your own, or making a profit off others hard work, it doesn't really swing over into the morally wrong category. |

DAWWWWW This fandom really made me realize how adorkable twilight is |
| Anonymous #398027 11 months ago |
The idea that one has no ability to control the produce of their own efforts on the internet is bad enough, but the idea that they don't even have a RIGHT to do so is what really gets me. Freakin hippies, man. Freakin evil hippies.
Anyway, I wish I had a pet Twilight. I realize that I probably couldn't take that guy, though. You win this round, guy who's name I don't know. |

That Sibsy user actually works on the show. |

It's not that they don't have the right to do it. It's that they simply can't. It's better to realize that than to fight it. |

I think that it's the de facto inevitability of the matter that makes it so frightening.
Also, if he/she is a storyboard artist, then this entire site is dedicated to varying degrees of ripping of his work. Which I guess is awesome in a depressing sort of way. Deprawesome. |

Draw by a professional artist from the show? Then s/he should have known better. If you put an image on the internet anyone can take a copy of it. Even if you put codes so it can't be downloaded or copied anyone can just print screen it, doesn't take a hacker. If you don't want the image to get on other peoples hands don't put it in the internet. It's something every artist should know. |

Imitation is flattery, stealing is not. Tracing doesn't count as stealing unless you claim it was your original idea. |

It's usually nice to ask permission. No, you don't have to, but most who aren't rude and inconsiderate individuals probably do. Although I hear a lot of bullshit on FOX News about "cultures of entitlement" and whatnot, the flippant and dismissive way that person spoke to Sibsy is one of the few good examples of an actual mentality of entitlement I've ever seen.
Hell, I've had someone send me a note on deviantArt to ask permission to use an upload of mine just to put on a shirt for their own personal use. It always impresses me when people do that, even though I don't believe it strictly necessary in a case like that. People like silk_sk, though, are just douches. |

It IS the truth and frankly given the rather silly application I don't think asking was necessary, you didn't claim it was your work and you weren't looking to profit, but if the person that did do it eventually learns of it, it's usually best IMO to take a more conciliatory approach. It's rare any of them are really that angry, but acting like it's your right, and saying they have no cause to be even somewhat annoyed can easily turn what could be a total non-issue into a shit storm for no really good reason.
Yeah some guys can get big heads and will act like twats about it no matter how you come at it. In which case yeah screw them; they put it out there to be seen so they've got it coming, but just jumping right to "haha try and stop me fucker!" is a bit harsh and dickish. |

Yes it would have been "nice" to credit it but it's in no way mandatory. You can either put watermarks over all your shit or you can simply put an artist's signature on it. Hell it wasn't even Sibsy's drawing it was the work of the guy who vectorized it. Are all traced images property of the creator too? It goes into gray territory when the internet does whatever the hell it wants with any and all content. Rebecca Black doesn't go trying to shut up every Youtube Poop of her Friday song, and many copyright laws are very light so as to prevent constriction of creativity. And it's one image; is Sibsy asking for there to be credits for every image on the internet?
"I'd like to thank Sibsy for this wonderful drawing and then I'd like to thank Dentist 75348 for making the vector version of this image. I'd like to thank memebase.com and all of its site advisors and administrators for creating the site that allowed me to submit the image as well as Google Images or whatever site I got this from for providing me the image I originally used to shop this vector on. And for that matter I'd like to thank Photoshop and Adobe for giving me the physical ability to make this image, Microsoft/Apple for my computer, the store I bought it from, and Lauren Faust for making me want to make this image in the first place." This image gave me a genuine laugh and I'm sure a lot of other people liked it too. I'm glad it was there to be entertaining. But hell, in the end I don't very much care who did something so much as the content of the creation. Most things made for the internet go into blurry territory as to who made it anyway and nobody can really claim truth to something virtual. Most people that photoshop something onto something else didn't draw either of those things anyway but who cares as long as it's fun to look at? |

I do not appreciate being told by anonymous posters that I don't understand how the internet works. I have been a professional for almost 10 years and understand completely how the law works regarding issues like these. All I asked for was a credit/link back to my original work - I don't think that was too much to ask. No, he didn't HAVE to do it, but out of respect for the artist, it would have been nice. I stand by that statement.
As an artist myself, I would never dream of manipulating another professionals work without at least running it by them. Maybe that's the difference between me and the folks posting on here. The artist who vectorized my drawing in fact didn't ask me permission, but since they credited theirs back to mine, I had no issues with it...I thought it was great! That is all I have to say on this matter. I am not angry about the situation, just a little disappointed that people nowadays thru the Internet think that everything belongs to them because it's not in a tangible form. Sibsy |

@Jarntazecht: I really doubt silk_sk has a paid version of Photoshop (or much of anything, for that matter), so I dunno if thanking Adobe would mean all that much, lol.
@Sibsy: That's one difference, but I doubt it's the only one. Professionals generally have a different way of looking at these things than many of the over-privileged teenagers posting here. |
| Anonymous #417576 11 months ago |
Wow, is all I have to say. I too am a professional artist, and it disturbs me how people view art on the internet.
Sibsy is being way kinder to Silk than she should be. Artwork, on the internet or not, still belongs to the owner. Apologizing would be the only cause of action that Silk should take. Not asking if he was too harsh. He was mistaken in his thinking and should apologize and learn, that next time he should ask permission first. M |

>I have been a professional for almost 10 years Congratulations. You're now an old fart, and yet you're still using retarded arguments. Nobody cares how long you've been on the Internet, and using that as an argument is the most retarded thing I saw. Well, after the "derpy is an ableist" shitstorm, but that one was really stupid. |
