Request Cancelled? Even if we do have content artists, they aren't relevant.
-
This is relevant because now we have Content Artists, yes, you are correct, it wasn't relevant then. Request canceled.
-
Good statement.
-
Its not really needed to go in the history board I believe.
-
Requested to be locked and moved to the History board.

Do we need this now that we don't have Artists?
I think it is important to have it, just in case.
Agreed.

Art theft is bad, everyone works so hard on the art you have just stolen without permission claiming it as your own. To be honest, I have done it before.
-
Thats correct, I think that Art theft is wrong and that if you really don't want someone accidently doing it to put a big EXAMPLE across the artwork.
Yes, because it puts off others from using it and is the ideal thing to do if you are desperate for people to not use it.
Sometimes when I was younger I would commit Art Theft, but that put me off so much.

I totally agree because Artists spend so much time making that art. and then you claim it as your own or etc. Its so unfair.
That's very true, :)

How does that work? Its a little, unfair. If we were breaking the law everytime we used someone's art, we would probably all be having a life sentence in prison. Can you explain more about it to me? Its a little confusing.
I personally agree with everything you just said, and yes, it is confusing at first. Basically, if you took a photo from Google, that's fine. But you must give credit where ever you use it when it can be viewed by others. Claiming it as your own, or not giving credit is named Art Theft. But it depends on the rules of the place you are collecting the art from, if it is restricted, don't consider doing it. If you are allowed, you may. But as I said it differs.

That is totally true, you should not disrespect anyone, even if they are making a fool of you. All and all, that is not how you react to these situations Fallen. Plus, please do not create an account on the forum when you have previously been blocked on Facediary.

Idoit. You just did this to make a fool of me! YOU IDOIT!!
I would like to inform you that this is false, in no way I, or any other of the admins/moderators and artists mean to make a fool of you. We were doing it so that others would understand how much Art Theft is damaging. Which, we would like you to understand.

Well said Fang, I think this is a worldwide issue, but I must say it is very damaging, even if it doesn't seem so.
Thanks, Seal, I owe you one.

Lately, there has been a large increase in art theft going on here. I would like to clarify a few things so that we can prevent art theft as much as possible. Most people committing art theft don't even know that they're doing it, which is unfortunate because they may still be held responsible. To prevent involuntary art theft, please read this.
Tracing a photograph is NOT okay!
You may not trace a picture and use the lineart that you have made. It is deceiving and is just like tracing digital artwork.
If an artist signs their artwork, do not remove the signature!
When coloring a lineart or receiving a custom art piece from somebody, you must leave their signature on. If not, you are not crediting the original artist!
Art theft is ILLEGAL. If you claim a design as your own, do not credit an artist for their lineart, or use other members' artwork, you are breaking the law. Facediary cannot be held responsible for anything posted by its users, but we do not tolerate it and will warn you to remove such artwork.
What Art Theft means on this site
When using artwork made by someone else and without their permission to describe any part of your character and/or the selling of artwork that you do not have any kind of copyright or creative commons license to sell.
What this means for people who want to put pictures on their profile
Don’t. End of story. If you put artwork up that does not belong to you and that you do not have permission by the artist to use - YOU CANNOT USE IT. Honestly, the Staff cannot be more clear than that. Other users will report you for Art Theft and Staff will ask you to take it down. So save yourself some trouble and don’t use art that isn’t yours.
Thank-you for reading! Hopefully, you understand a bit more about art theft and why it is not okay. If you see a profile that has stolen artwork on it, please PM a Moderator (Seaglimmer, Littlespark, Aquaria) and they will take care of it. It is not an admins job to take care of illegal actions.
