Feel free to use this guys! Just in case! You can never be too careful! >.<

Going along again with "hope for the best and prepare for the worst!"

thanks man, I plan on it!

Actually got this from  raynethehybrid with permission of course! :P

i made copy pasta it was tasty

Yummy! .o.

you can never be too careful. i even made a weasyl on the side just incase need be. i hope it wont come to me ever using it...but who knows right? it's all up in the air atm. i also have an inkbunny but i have had that for months now for unrelated reasons because some of my friends who dont use FA anymore post there instead. but if the shit hits the fan as everyone fears but hopes wont happen then atleast i got other places i can go should it be needed. though in my opinion IB is too small and weasyl is too strict.. really dont want to have to move.

He should have said something before the decision was made also COMPLETELY EXPLAINING EVERYTHING would have been nice too... So AGAIN hope for the best and prepare for the worst xD

Made a copy of mine also

Yay funnn xD

Inkbunny has a thing where you can just transfer all of you FA data over to Inkbunny

Thanks for this

YW!<3

Thanks Woli

You are welcome! Protect yourself now kiddies! ;D

Not... really how copyright law works...
At all.

All things given, each submission already contains a copyright declaration to the uploader... which means absolutely nothing since you can steal an image and magically own it.

Trust me. If they want to, they will, you're out of luck. Either there's a EULA wall, a TOS wall, or some sneaky lawyer business.
There's a damn good reason Disney, using an army of lawyers, can successfully extend ownership over creations made by dead people from leaking into public domain.

Now, my actual issues are these:
1. IMVU probably doesn't WANT to be associated with 99.99% of the... 'art'... posted on FA. Owner this stuff can probably put them in some legal bad zones.
2. None of this... 'art'... really benefits them to own anyway.
3. Every image is default-uploaded with a Copyright declaration. Whatever that really means, since it can magically give a thief copyright over someone else's property.


My basic argument is that this journal is a better click-bait than that it's magical pixy dust that scares off the hellhole of copyright law.
There's a reason copyright lawyer is becoming a specific branch of legal teams, and why schmucks like you and me don't stand a CHANCE.

Your best option, since this doesn't do anything?
Never agree to a EULA, if you hear talk there's a hidden TOS update that redirects ownership of FA-server placed media to IMVU or something, RUN. You can't win.
JUST RUN.

Oh, I forgot to mention that FA already has a sexy, sneaky, under-the-hood "you're boned" policy.

tl;dr FA already owns your art for THEIR purposes, and, surprise, IMVU owns FA.

Damn o.o

I'd say 'you should know this', as Section 2 specifies it's YOUR legal responsbility to know this (this, in reality, is just saying "You can't sue us that we're doing this, you KNEW it when you jumped aboard").

So... yea.
You're trying to retroactively undo something you technically already agreed on.


Oh, and Section 2 has another sexy, sneaky caviat you don't know.
FA informs you via under-the-banner updates, and, as of this TOS, is REQUIRED to do that when it changes the TOS... but there's no specified time period. They can, legally, put up a banner for five seconds.

Then, they can ask you to agree ot the changes or not and let you continue using FA or not...

OR, they can NOT ask. And, after 14 days, they can say 'oh, you didn't say no' and do whatever they changed. Without asking you.

Welcome to spooky land. We recently expanded our legal section to include hidden clauses and terrible synergies.

Holy crap O.O
