Explains why they're throwing a hissy fit. I skimmed her comments to other people and actually can't believe a person would actually like this.

I know. I guess she wants to be sued too.

I asssure you, it isn't. The name of the deviant was and she wa a troll and a theif. I bet you she has an ED article, look her up.
Fanart doesn't go against copyright if it was made yourself. I think you are cofused on why exactly copyrights are. I don't understand what you are saying, correct, because what you are saying makes no sense
I'm not raging on the deviant, and I am not raging at all. I gave my opinion on the whole thing. How this is really depressing, stupid, and just, well, sad. I have every right to be angry though, but I'm not a child and I don't rage in all caps.
Grow up? Funny, considering you give me crap that doesn't make sense then give the "oh well you don't understand" excuse.

Did you go to her deviations and look at the comments? And did you go to ED?

The original artists left comments to the originals, and I noted one or two when it was happening. But they left comments.
Then she must not have one I guess.

I'm actually pretty sure this deviation itself isn't against the rules OR the law; it's not for sale, and it's not the original image, rather a rendition of an existing image. Does that make sense? Like, the artist technically drew this themselves, but looking at the original image the entire time and copying it as closely as they could. They should've credited the original artist, but other than that I don't think it violates anything in the TOS.
Besides, this isn't the first time dA has given a DD to a deviation that should never have gotten one - before, they gave one to a photograph that was completely stolen xD

CelestialDrake In reply to sockjuice [2013-02-05 03:14:15 +0000 UTC]
Doesn't matter if it is for sale or not. By posting it, they automatically claim iot as theirs when it is not. They did not have permission to post, and therefore it is stolen and breaks copyright laws.
Renditions can only be put up if the picture is stock, or they had permission.
It's sad how it happens tough. Stolen stuff getting DDs. It's very sad.

Hmm, really? And yet dA has a traced base category...gotta wonder why they don't remove that like they removed this deviation's DD xD
Thanks for clarifying that! I wasn't completely sure myself, since I've seen tons of images like this that never get removed.
Yeah, I wish the suggesters/CVs did more research before giving a DD. It happens quite often :/

CelestialDrake In reply to sockjuice [2013-02-05 03:20:10 +0000 UTC]
With bases, they are allowed as long as you claim you don't own the image and then link. If they use someone else's deviation, they have to get permission first, or they can use stock. That's usually what I see.
Yea. As long as there is permission, or the image is stock, it's fine. Just gotta link I think.
Sadly, yea. Then they just take the DD away, but leave the stolen image.

sockjuice In reply to CelestialDrake [2013-02-05 03:24:02 +0000 UTC]
I don't believe I've ever seen a base that had gotten permission from the original artist before making/posting the base. Most of them credit image hosting sites as well, rather than the original artist's account or website.
I thought you had to do more than link back/credit? FAQ #306: Does "Crediting" let me use whatever I want?
yeah, it's a shame :/

CelestialDrake In reply to sockjuice [2013-02-05 03:27:04 +0000 UTC]
I don't see many that use other deviations on DA. There are probably some, but they are either stolen, or have permission. The rest are used with stock, or stolen too.
If you use legal copyrighted work you have to have permission. Like, if you tried to do it from a movie, or another person's art. If it is a stock image, it is free to use for anyone so you could make a base and just link I believe.

Yeah, most of them are from artists on pixiv that are reposted on image hosting sites like zerochan or photobucket :/ I'd guess that something like 90% of traced bases are not made from stock or with permission.
Ah, I see :>

CelestialDrake In reply to sockjuice [2013-02-05 03:38:02 +0000 UTC]
Yea. The good ones are though. Some bases are even made without a picture, and there are many of those. However, many traced bases are stolen. Some aren't, but many are.

Oh, yes, I agree! I'm fully supportive of original pixel artists/dollers who make/use original or stock-referenced bases because I do believe that requires a lot of skill, I just don't approve of stolen ones!

CelestialDrake In reply to sockjuice [2013-02-05 03:40:45 +0000 UTC]
Same here. Whats worse is that the people who make the stolen ones can't accept the fact that they stole, refuse to take them down, and block anyone who tries to help.

I have lost all faith in DA.....not that I had a lot, only a tiny bit.
Grats people who run this site, you basically honored an art thief, by giving them a DD. I thought not banned art thieves was bad, but this, holy shit.

I thought copying or tracing was illegal on DA. Well, super I'm going to copy one like this one *-*
