SushiTheLegend Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I'm actually starting to get quite irritated about this now. I am making this complaint as I am getting really annoyed with how stupid people must think I am. The only person who I am not including in this is "groudondjango" as he actually PARTIALLY admitted that he used some of my pack. I have now found two people thus far who have ripped my work off. The first being "Pokeboy" who ripped off the banner I made percifically for SOULCHILDXXXX's Card Makers Academy Club. The next person is someone called "tehodis" who has blaintly ripped off my Booster Pack. It's all nice and good that you can at least say you did it, but when you don't say anything at all that is annoying, in Pokeboy's case that was for the club only. I want something done about this, or I may just stop making my graphics altogether, just because people are simply lazy and won't make things THEMSELVES!

SushiTheLegend Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Yes well that might be the case Poc. However I think some people need to get it into their heads that this stuff is simply WRONG. I don't make my work just so someone else can claim it as their own, that is simply wrong.

Sartorius Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 You copyrighted the banner ya? If they steal it, they are stealing your work and property. Unless they do something about it, force them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SushiTheLegend Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Well no at the time I hadn't because I figured people weren't ****tards who steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolDude330 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 The world will always have ****tards who steal ;)Still, even if you didn't, you still made it, nobody should be able to claim it as their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sartorius Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 It's your fault for not copyrighting them in the first place. =[Â They stole something that belonged to nobody in the eyes of the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SushiTheLegend Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 As far as I'm concerned they have no right. They are just lazy bastards who can't get their head out of their ass. I shouldn't need to copyright my work. If I make something for myself I shouldn't need to as its for me and nobody else. Besides even if I did add copyright...they will just remove it. So there isn't much point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rscrash Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 how do you copyright your work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weather Duelist Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Copyright or not.. its still theft on the grounds that such things as the Booster and the Banner are Intellectual Property, and therefore are not allowed. Beside, if anyone tried to claim it was theirs, a simple check would determine them false... since it's first instance of being shown was authored by Sushi.

Tkill93 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Ripping should = a Perm ban. To ensure it too you could put your name or a symbol on everything you do too. It doesnt even have to be big just recognizable. Lots of people do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Falling Pizza Posted July 23, 2007 Administrators Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 When you post an image that's the risk you take. If you didn't copyright it, the only person you can be angry at is yourself. Besides, why would people PAY YOU in points to make one, when they can just edit one you already made for free? Think about it. The best thing to do is make all your banners different so that people will want to come back for more. Otherwise, they can just rip your work.

tehodis Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 The next person is someone called "tehodis" who has blaintly ripped off my Booster Pack. It's all nice and good that you can at least say you did it' date=' but when you don't say anything at all that is annoying, in Pokeboy's case that was for the club only. I want something done about this, or I may just stop making my graphics altogether, just because people are simply lazy and won't make things [b']THEMSELVES[/b]! How many times will I have to tell you? I can prove I made them, I can prove that I didn't steal from you. Not that I didn't use your's for a reference, WHICH I ALREADY ADMITTED.I shall quote this from another thread I posted it in, since my wrists hurt too much without medicine to type it again:"Does anybody read what I post? As I told him, I used her's as a brief reference. Then I went on Google, looked for the Yu-Gi-Oh Logo(http://www.memorabilia.co.uk/client_imag...h_logo.gif) with a white background, and edcited out 'Shonen Jump's', and '© 1996 Kazuki Takahasi', then I selected all the white area, inverted the selection, expanded by one pixel, feathered by 3, and pasted it on a new layer on the pack. Then I found the Konami logo(http://www.iguk.co.uk/ProductImages2/3422.jpg), and extracted it from the official pack, fixed the quality, put that on the pack, and then I made two pixel wide borders around the pack, each 1 pixel line a different color. Then I added canvas height to the top and bottom, and taking a look at his briefly before closing that Mozilla tab, I pixelled all of it" (unlike Sushi who got theirs off some website(and didn't credit, which is stealing, as I am being accused of))", then duplicated the layer it was on, selected the area, used a gaussion blur filter and then set it on overlay and lowered the opacity. I merged those two together so I had two layers, one with the outline, and one with the Yu-Gi-Oh and Konami logos. Then I created another layer, dragged it to the bottom, and put the image on the layer, edited the image, and then opened a seperate image file, and made the text. Expanded it by one on a white background after using a texture inside the font and then also feathered it by three. Then I copied and pasted, added my copyright mark, and saved it. On a few of my newer ones, I selected the card outline (this was after he claimed I didn't make my own, that I just ripped off his), and used some textures I made, to make it different. I'll show you examples" and the textures I used, if you want me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frunk Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Honestly, what do you want me to do, Sushi? If you say nothing, then I will -rep you for spamming - Welcome to cyberspace, whether he stole it or not, what can be done, he's credited himself for it (still yet to see what 'it' is) and you're never going to be able to 'get it back', this is the internet, not a preschool, so either launch an external complaint of copyright breaching (That is, if you did bother to copyright 'it'), or get over it and move on.

It would be like making a Christian believe there is no god and evolution is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
