issue., i'm sure this has been brought up dozens of times.. Options

stealing, jocking, theft, copyright infringement.

it's all been a pretty big problem here on createblog. tons of graphics and layouts have been created using images from sites such as photobucket (from random peoples' albums), deviantart, threadless, naked&angry, artists' websites, etc. all copyrighted material. material that is not stock material. and taking complete credit for it.

and i don't really care if there is a thread already about this or if it was mentioned in another thread. because. well. i just don't feel like going through and responding with something that will never be read, bringing back a thread that is long dead, or simply watching people talk about it and not do anything.

i think that while the admin and mods are doing their little "house cleaning", they should REALLY concentrate on removing submissions that contain stolen images. because this site should not condone these things.

i also think that a field should be added to submission forms for credit giving. even if what someone used IS stock photography or otherwise free-to-use material, credit should be given. and i believe that if people were to see an entire space dedicated to giving such credit, they would tend to do it more.

this website should be fair and follow copyright rules in all areas. because i've seen plenty of people complaining about other websites "jocking" from createblog. why not stop being hypocrites and set an example for such sites?

I really wish Kids would stop taking other people's work, especially since it get's the sites that they upload these things to into trouble. I am fairly certain Createblog doesn't want a lawsuit, so if you don't want Createblog to get a lawsuit either, Then PLEASE stop taking people's artistic Photographs, Mixed Media, and Graphic Art Works.

The items on Deviantart that are NOT under STOCK or RESOURCES are not for you to save!

Anything found on Threadless/Naked&Angry are copywritten designs and you saving them and creating works out of them is ILLEGAL.

I know alot of kids don't even give a rip, But they will when they get a Phone call from a Lawyer.

If you don't have talent, Then give up. If you do have talent and don't know how to use it, then practice and get better.
