Meh, it's happened to me. I slapped together some "reproduction" cabinet stickers and stuck them on a Geocities website. Treasure Cove was selling them as "shop out decals" a week later, probably still does. I did a "backboard decal" for The Shadow and put it on the Pinball Rebel website. Couple years later, every Shadow on Ebay had one stuck in it. Similar has happened with several of "my" score cards, particularly for EMs. There's two responses to this... one is you get butthurt and try to claim your collage of derivative artwork is somehow unique and demand, what, "acknowledgement"? "Compensation"? Give me a break. The other response is you go, hey, that's kinda neat other people liked it. Maybe my attitude of putting that stuff out there freely will encourage others to do the same. Plus you get to poke people that dislike you when you point out - "oh look, it's my old image..." |

I wasn't seeking any kind of monetary compensation. Just that he removed the item in question because it was not created with the intent to resell or profit off of in any way. It was for a friend. No money/favors were exchanged for the artwork. Sure its nice that someone acknowledges it as cool enough to try and sell it....I've had custom posters I've designed and had printed for friends literally stolen off of their walls before. Sure its cool someone liked it. But it wasn't theirs to take. And it's crappy of them to do. And I didn't post it for public distribution it was originally intended for 1 friend. If anyone in the community wanted a copy to use for their personal project, sure. No problem if they asked. But the second it's put up and sold....that's where the line is drawn. If I wanted to make money off of it...I'm perfectly capable of selling it myself. But I know better because it's not 100% mine. Whether Andy Worhol was able to do it or not...I wouldn't want to fight Netherrealm or WB Games in court over it. And any images that were found online of the cp artmwere not high enough resolution to make a nice print off of. So not only were they using what wasn't theirs, they were selling potentially ---smurfy--- quality. |
