Sometimes I wonder why I bother...
Is it so much for any of us to ask for people to respect our wishes?
I was searching google to find out when a certain photoshoot was done, like the exact date & came across this site:
http://www.him-times.com/gallery/index.php
It may not seem like a big deal, but I know there are quite a few of us, including myself,
that when we share artwork we've put so much effort into that when we ask in our posts to
'Not' redistribute our work & to give credit, we're not asking too much.
However, the above mentioned site has been taking everyone's artwork for the past 4 years
& posting on their site & only giving credit to Valo Daily, where they found it.
Am I wrong to be somewhat pissed not only for myself but for others as well who
have been having their graphic work taken & redistributed on someone's else's site without permission?
Look in the 'Iconbase' section & the 'Extras' section.
You'll find every bit of graphic artwork that so many have put their heart
& greatest efforts into only for one community to be credited for it...
Look under 'The band' & then drawings. Nothing is credited.
I don't know. Maybe it's me but so many artists- graphic & otherwise are being effed over as I see it.
I did send an email to the person who owns the site.
I asked them if it's so hard to ask permission for redistributing artwork that isn't theirs
or giving credit to the artist- not just the community they stole it from....
In any case, I wanted to let others know,
in case you never wanted your artwork posted someplace
without permission or credit.
Yes, this post is going to be public.
I think everyone, whether friends or not, have a right to know their stuff is being shared
without their knowledge or permission.
As for me, I'm seriously asking myself why do I bother to request not to
redistribute my graphic work or even asking for credit. =/
