cmo-of-doom:scalrettshana:To slashers and haters. You can love your stupid slash. I wont shut my mouth up and I will continue to hate slash. About “stolen art”: I didnt know that I should to write the name of author!!! If you think Im wrong lets delete all videos and fanfictions. Because you have no rights to use not your own character. How do you like it?!slasher slash antislash transformers transformers prime This is exactly why people hate you, can’t you see it?Education time:CopyrightLegal issues with fan fiction“According to current United States copyright, copyright owners have the exclusive right "to prepare derivative works based upon [their] copyrighted work.”[4] A derivative work is any work, including fanfiction[dubious – discuss] based upon one or more preexisting works.[5] In the case where a copyright owner chooses to exercise his/her exclusive right to prepare derivative works against a work of fanfiction, s/he can sue the fanfiction writer for copyright infringement. To prove infringement, an owner must present evidence establishing that the accused has copied protected elements of the original work and the accused work does not constitute fair use.[6]“ (quote from wiki link of current subtitle)Many "official” companies/creators don’t have a problem with non-profiting fan works or distribution of tiny amounts of their official works (such as screen caps, gif sets) because they see those as free commercial and is beneficial to them. Some companies are more strict about it (ex: Disney) while some more tolerant about it (ex: Hasbro. They even turn a blind eye to 3rd party stuffs). It’s up to the copyright owner to decide whether they think their right has been compromised. As for now, Hasbro and IDW do not discourage non-profiting fan works, so no need to “delete all videos and fanfictions” at least in the TF fandom unless Hasbro and/or IDW think the fan work is harmful to them.And most fanworks (fanfiction and fanart) are created by a creator, the creator didn’t steal from other people. They are not art thieves.Speaking of art thieves:Creative Commons licenseThis is about the copyright of fan artists and independent authors.There are many types of licenses that can be offered by the author to demand how the others may distribute and/or remake their works. But:“Since 2004, all current licenses require attribution of the original author (the BY component).[6] The attribution must be given to "the best of [one’s] ability using the information available”.[16] Generally this implies the following:Include any copyright notices (if applicable). If the work itself contains any copyright notices placed there by the copyright holder, those notices must be left intact, or reproduced in a way that is reasonable to the medium in which the work is being re-published.Cite the author’s name, screen name, or user ID, etc. If the work is being published on the Internet, it is nice to link that name to the person’s profile page, if such a page exists.Cite the work’s title or name (if applicable), if such a thing exists. If the work is being published on the Internet, it is nice to link the name or title directly to the original work.Cite the specific CC license the work is under. If the work is being published on the Internet, it is nice if the license citation links to the license on the CC website.Mention if the work is a derivative work or adaptation, in addition to the above, one needs to identify that their work is a derivative work, e.g., “This is a Finnish translation of [original work] by [author].” or “Screenplay based on [original work] by [author].” (quote from wiki link of current subtitle)So, you see, you failed to do any of the above even if the author did gave a CC license. And I don’t think the author gave a CC license of any kind.Learn some law, it might save your from being sued one day.And do you know why stealing people’s fan art raise anger? Because unlike “official” works and their creators, which are well known by the fandom and rarely a non-official person would claim to be the creator of an official work (no one will believe me if I took out James Roberts’ MTMTE #22 script and said I wrote that), fan artists has much less exposure to the public, if uncredited, their presence and hard work will go unnoticed or worse, people will think the thief is the owner of the work.Don’t post/edit other people’s stuffs without their agreement and proper reference. -- source link
