discoverychannelofficialI'm getting SLIGHTLY annoyed by some of the people who are leaving FA. Not cause of Dragoneer or IMVU, but SPECIFICALLY because of the IMVU Content/Image Policy.
Guys, this is a normal term of service for any image hosing site. Most websites have this TOS.
"But Max, why would a website claim ownership over your content?"
Well, good question! Once upon a time, someone tried to make a legal argument with a website. Basicly it was "I have submitted enough content that my creative works represents .003% of your website. I WANT TO OWN .003% OF YOUR WEBSITE."
Bobs your uncle and BAM. Every website now requires you to agree that content you submit BELONGS to the site, not you. It's to keep people from suing their company for shares in the website or a type of compensation for claiming partial intellectual property in the website or company.
That is the ONLY reason they do it. They don't give a FLYING FUCK about taking your photos or art to make t-shirts or coffee mugs. SO CHILL THE FUCK OUT. Don't clear your gallery out, don't freak out. If you wanna leave FA, go ahead. Just don't do it for this SPECIFIC reason. Cause it's a stupid reason.

I love FA way too much
been on here a few years
I don't like imvu nor ever have been on it or will use it
such drama ><
My stance is I mirrored everything in case things hit the fan here. And if I have a commission pending to be put up here, I just don't post it while things are still up in the air for the moment.
But I agree, cleaning out galleries is slightly overreacting to a tiny bit of evidence of stolen art.
Everyone just needs to take a step back (quite a few if micros, or don't move if you're macro I guess. c.c) and take a deep breath.
Everything will sort out, like all the other times. Until the next... "controversial" thing pops up.
I agree about what he says though, if you are to leave, that's fine, that's one's own business, one shouldn't fan the flames of an issue that's not an issue though.
This seriously makes me feel a lot more better seeing for the first time of one of the people I watch on FA, trying to convince others that everything is going to be fine. There's no good reason why to leave Fur Affinity at all from everything going on lately.
