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? |

okay. i know that admin/mods are very busy and that they cannot keep track of every submission. i just think that some of the things, particularly graphics, are very obviously images that have not been created by anyone on createblog.
but anyway. since i understand the time constraints and pressures of the admin here on cb, i took some of my time to go through some of the sections. let's start with graphics. i went through every single page of graphics. and here are the submissions i found that were stolen/jocked/whatever. i'm sure there are lots more. but these were the ones i absolutely KNEW where the originals came from. (i made this list in editpad as i went along, and i really don't feel like making all the links...well, links. so. copy and paste, yeah?  http://www.createblog.com/layouts/download.php?id=9579 taken from: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/11344458/ http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=11002 taken from: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/224575...me+-in%3Ascraps http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=8267 taken from: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/331640...me+-in%3Ascraps http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=7883 taken from: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19194080/ http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=4391 taken from: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19967666/ http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=5665 taken from: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/522882...me+-in%3Ascraps or: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/833876...me+-in%3Ascraps http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=984 taken from: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/17233172/ http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=306 taken from: http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=306 http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=1162 taken from: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/30259794/ and besides those, i found several submissions that were submitted 2 & three times. so, i'm assuming that no one here on cb made them and that they are from somewhere else and that no one had permission to take credit for them as their own work. this: http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=3491 is the same as this: http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=5924 this: http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=6346 is the same as this: http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=9673 and then! there are the ones that i cannot track down the originals of, but i KNOW they were not created by anyone (that i KNOW of) here on cb. yet, here they are! submitted, accepted, and being stolen. http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=2051 - from threadless. http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=11406 - from naked and angry. http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=2711 - from deviantart. is no longer in the gallery it was in. i had it in my favourites. but, i honestly can't remember if it was stock or not. asklgh. http://www.createblog.com/graphics/download.php?id=328 - from naked and angry. |
