Arrangement, cutting and pasting, adding drop-shadows and overlay textures doesn't take a long time to do at all. --- End quote --- I could re-create it quickly as well, that isn't the point. The issue is whether or not it's ethical or legal to directly take something someone else created and then sell it. Saying it's the OP's fault for putting it out there doesn't make it right. |

Gatsu makes a mild complaint and asks if he should bother doing anything, then by post #4 says, "No biggie, I worked it out with the seller directly, he was a nice guy", everybody thinks he is making a big stink and overstepping his bounds?? Sorry guys, I don't follow this witch hunt. :dunno |

If it was so easy then why didn't the ebay seller just re-create it, then he'd have a hi-res version? Better yet, since it's only a 5 minute job why don't you re-create it and post it here for us to see. ::) --- End quote --- --- Quote from: 8BitMonk on April 02, 2015, 04:54:28 pm ---I could re-create it quickly as well, that isn't the point.

Saying it's the OP's fault for putting it out there doesn't make it right. --- End quote --- --- Quote ---The OP took the time to create a unique CP design for personal use which someone then took as-is and tried to sell, that's stealing, period. Equating the OP's use of any copyrighted material in his design, with no intention to sell it, to the ebay sellers actions is a false equivalence with zero merit. Many large game companies actually condone and in fact encourage fan use of copyrighted materials as a way to promote the brand. Again, he never intended to profit from it, the ebay seller did. --- End quote --- ::) Either you missed the point, or your blindly looking over the fact that Gatsu stole the art first. So it's okay to steal art, only if it's for personal use? How is that morally/ethically right? How about I come to your place, steal your arcade cabinets, then when the cops show up I can say "it's cool, it was only for personal use!" ::) Stealing is stealing is stealing. Whether you make a profit off of it or not. Again this is another instance where artwork is undervalued and subject to lower standards to that of any other personal possession. The point is whether or not Gatsu should be bitching about someone selling the art he stole in the first place. I don't give a flying-f if he took the 10 mins out of day to arrange this in his illegally obtained copy of PS. What matters is that he really didn't have a leg to stand on, and the ebay guy selling his stolen art could have told him to --kick rocks--. |
