Warning, unauthorized art use
6 years ago
Hey all, just making a short journal here to point out something that's been brought to my attention.
A few days ago, a friend of mine had a random person take one of his commissioned pieces (without asking) and edit in their 'character', all for some story or something. When confronted about it, this person started to scream about 'fair use' and how they had every right to do this because they had edited the original content.
https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/ck-19/ This is their gallery. I've already contacted Wontoonroo about his, but if you see yourself or someone you know in that gallery, I would let them know, because it looks like this person is trying to use others' characters without permission.
I'm not promoting a 'mob mentality' to cause a commotion or problems, I just want to let people know if their characters are being used in ways they would not want.

The complaint should be able to be done from EITHER the artist or the commissioner of the artwork in question.
What's the difference between the artist or the commissioner opening the complaint? The point is, in my situation, the artwork was clearly theft, and you're just asking the artist to do it, and take time out of their busy schedules to report it.
