Not exactly. The artist could have put copyright, and real consequences can occur.

In fact, I have my own layout site with copyright and it's not right to just take stuff at
free will, and putting your own rules that credit back to yourself. Animations and photo
manipulations are what most avatars are made of. It could take an artist hours to do
that, and believe me, I just spent 3 hours on this animated signature. So unless you
made the artwork, I don't think you should be putting rules and "pretend copyright"
on it that credit back to yourself.

I, myself, wouldn't be happy if someone decided to just take my signature right now,
put it on their userpage, and say, "NO STEALING! I found it, not you."

iShadow, I am using one of your Avatars. Credit is down in my signature.

Why doesn't any of you actually talk to me instead of discussing the matters among others, inserting little insults of me here and there?
I never said you can't take it. I just asked you for some courtesy of thanking me for finding them. And I did give credit to the artists. But I can't name them, because it's either I don't know their username, or their username is their real name (which I can't post).

I'm just going to reiterate...

Where many of those Avatars came from it clearly states that "direct linking, stealing, archiving and posting elsewhere is strictly forbidden. Pay the artists a visit from time to time, and when used give credit to the artist (they underlined that, not me) of the icons and ***** ********." I will keep the Design co. name out. The graphic artists names are submitted with their work, and they have galleries for a reason. To be recognized. It does have them as copyright. (which is what I posted in an above post).


But Like I've said in my post above, people have outright stolen my work that's taken much longer than 3 hours (which is a long time anyway, artists times, is well, precious time)... it's just life. But it sucks.

You're telling people to credit you for finding the material in their signature areas or avatar areas... but I do not see you doing that... tis why I ask.

As for the artists names... sometimes their names on a *particular* site... are there.


I'm just trying to hope you can understand from anothers pont of view.

Well, I do have to agree with you there. Unless you made them, iShadow.

I hope you find out who

Ishadow, one question, If you cant say there titles, then how are you crediting the REAL ARTISTS

[HaveAMagicalDay]

Well first off... it was not yours to start with. You did not make it so why would people have to give YOU credit for it. If they were needed to give credit it would be to the site/artist who made them. Also, you don't have proof that they took it from you. Yes, usualy they would copy it from someone, but they could of found the same picture on another site or even the same one. I kind of agree to what schmoofy said. Once an image is placed on the internet its up for grabs. All you have to do is copy and paste an image and you got it. Sometimes people don't give credit for their picture either. I can understand what your going at, but if they were not yours to start with, they don't need to give you credit for it. But you should give credit to the site they got it from.

Look, obviously no one here will even try to see it from my eyes. Obviously, all you think I am is a hypocrite.
So, fine, I'll take all of the slander. Because it may be true.
But, if all you are going to do is flame, don't post.
I want this thread closed.
