Renania Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I have noticed that a lot of people have no idea where to find good sources of pictures. Mostly they take those from art sites and I doubt they ever made an attempt to ask the respectful owner for their permission. I am talking about sites like Deviantart, Sheezyart, Elftown and some more. All these sites hold a Privacy and Copyright policy. Everyone publishing their art outside and inside the community without the artist their permission, violates this. Here at deviantART we respect the rights of all artists and creative people worldwide and we expect our members to demonstrate an equal amount of respect and assist us in creating a beneficial and positive atmosphere for all deviantART visitors and members. The bottom line is: Just about anything that is on this site, on the web, on TV, on CD's, on DVD's, in books & in magazines is probably copyrighted by someone. Copyright can be a confusing territory for many people. In many cases the natural confusion over the sometimes varied circumstances surrounding copyright will lead people to rely upon rumor or myth more often than the actual legal facts which naturally confuses the matter even more. In this document we will attempt to eliminate some of the confusion and counter many of the myths surrounding copyright. Understand that the following form is provided for informational purposes only and is intended to be used as a guide only. The availability of this document should not be construed as rendering legal or other professional advice, and this document is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. If you require legal advice, you should seek the services of a qualified attorney. What is Copyright Infringement? To simplify this question, copyright infringement occurs when you do certain things with a creative work which someone else produced without first getting the proper permission. Some examples of copyright infringement (this is only a partial listing) can include: * Placing a photograph or creative work online without proper permission. * Using a creative work commercially. * Adapting a creative work of one medium to another, such as making a book into a movie or a photograph into a painting. * Modifying or editing a creative work without proper permission. How Can I Avoid Infringing on Someone's Copyright? The best way to avoid infringing on the rights of another creative person is to use your skill, talent and imagination to create your own completely original work. When we use the word 'original' we don't mean that you must come up with an idea which hasn't been used before, when used in copyright matters "original" means that you created your work without referencing or deliberately copying anyone else's work during the process. Ensure that all parts of your work, both visual and audio, are your own original creations. If you have used materials which are owned by other people or companies make certain that you have obtained proper permission or licensing for the use before you place your work online. Learn this. If you want to use pictures google open image galleries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renania Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 As soon as you post it and claim the cards as yours, while the image is used without permission of the respectful owner, it is theft.And their wishes are certainly not respected. There might be only a handful of card-makers on this site, who can honestly say they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songdancer13 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 you know...It's funny how they are letting people use these images when copyright infringement is illegal given the statement you have to agree to in order to JOIN this site...

songdancer13 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 How about YOU read up on copyright law...here's a link to the simplest, easiest to understand info I could find. http://www.pdimages.com/law/10.htm It spells it out pretty clearly... Oh, and if making MONEY were required for copyright infringement and thus illegal activity...then people like warner brothers and J.K.Rowling would have had NO legal stance on demanding that fanfiction authors remove said fanfiction from the internet or be sued over it...and yet, I knew SEVERAL such authors who DID get notificiation from warner brothers or J.K.Rowling or thier lawyers to stop or face legal reprecussions.
