Watermarking and claiming ownership on things that aren't yours in the first place really irks me.

ಠ_ಠ ..

Claiming things is low, at least be an honest pirate.

That being said I appreciate the piracy because I miss Underland. XD

I think I am one of those on tumblr, who reblogged a picture because I wanted to know the original source, I always asks for the original source if I don't know were it is from ;_; ...I didn't know it was a underland picture before one on FB told it could be from underland, because I didn't look like from a mobile phone (Yes I am stupid in that way, because I don't know what a smartphone can do, I don't have one)...so I thought it was from the web...

But then I can ask now for sure, is underland only for japanese DEARS ??? So you must have a japanese phone number to use underland? Because I would love to be a member, but not living in Japan makes me confuse if it works in Europe as well as Japan?

I kinda answered this already, but to pay the subscription fee you need a Japanese phone account. It's charged to your phone bill. You can access the site, but not the paid content.

okey then I am glad the picture has been posted, sorry to say but again unfair for foreign fans, that they can't get the same content as japanese ;_;

(sorry I wrote the other comment before I read this)

But I agree that the watermark is lame, to claim it as your own...

That really is bad. I understand wanting to share things, I don't really like it, but I understand it, however going so far as to claim it as your own is going to far, I really hope they get their just deserts in the end.

I did have checked the "GACKT" tag on Tumblr, and it seems the pictures don't pop up that easely if they are still there, it's a good point.
But yeah, I don't understand removing an ALREADY EXISTING logo to replace it by your own, I've to admit it's pretty stupid. If you're going to put your name on it (even though putting it on pictures is ... nonsense), at least put it in an other corner of the picture, I don't know ... -_-'

See, you don't even have worked on it to get such results, only taking screencaps with the Iphone ... so it's totally stupid !
But seems like that person don't only put his name but also the adress of his/her website ... those people are lonely in their lives I guess, that's all.

Honestly, putting your name on anything you don't own is nonsense. Putting it on scans is nonsense, even though it takes time to scan and clean them.
