Copied Work Options

[eyepaint]

I have no idea where to put this.
I joined this community to voice a complaint.

My name is Audrey, I owned eyepaint.net and My DA account is driverside. I was looking through your backgrounds and found this-

My myspace layout:

Hopefully those links work.

To be quite honest, I'm so freaking tired of being copied. The two are way, way too similar. She also used some of my brushes that I had as a resource on eyepaint- so obviously she got the "idea" from me.

Be original.

Please take it down. Thanks.

first off, these backgrounds are not the same.
it's ok if somebody produces their own graphic using inspiration from yours-there is no breech of copyright there.
there is absolutely nothing wrong with somebody using that inspiration. it's their work, even if they "stole" the idea from you. be honored that somebody liked it enough to produce their own graphic. once again, you should be happy that somebody used you as inspiration, and didn't copy your exact graphic.

you said the brushes were a resource. unless i'm mistaken by your definition of resource, you didn't make the brushes. if, however, you did make these brushes, then you have a right to want credit.
