What you don't understand for OUR SOTW, using stocks from other pieces of graphics is allowed as long as you don't completely rip it. He obviously spent some time on it and did some work. What part of this do you not understand that Advisable didn't do that?


I'm Pierre-Alain D. aka 3mmi, the creator of the original piece called Evolution.

The original piece can be viewed You must login or register to view this content..

Are you so stupid so you're not able to understand the meaning of "copyrighted"? I don't care you local rules, the fact is that all my graphics and artworks are copyrighted, even if this is just a part of it, and I DO NOT ACCEPT that someone use it, modify it. I thank Departed so much for reporting me that someone ripped my work. Once again, using my work without my explicit permission is NOT ALLOWED and I could engage legal procedure. The client who will buy this artwork could also engage legal procedure if someone still use it without permission. So I ask you to remove immediately all the post where my ripped artwork is shown. My work is not stock, I'm a professional graphic designer, so don't try to ripp my work because I will be determinated to erase any of my copyright violation.

The following 4 users say thank you to 3mmi for this useful post:

Departed, Jeremy, uG~Designs, videobot34

That's all that was needed. Not someone else bitching and complaining. If you don't want your stuff used, that's fine. User's entry was deleted. Hope you have fun here on NGU and here's some rep to start you off. Happy browsing. Smile

Actually, as your position around here is "moderator", you should already know this, and 1/ remove all posts with ripped content without waiting the original creator asking for it, and 2/ you should ban users who are rippers...or maybe we should consider this forum as a kind of "pirate forum", so it should need to be reported? This user have to be banned, and you should have a better look to your local rules. I think you also have nothing of a "moderator".

I have to agree with Lovol on this one. There is a very fine line between doing very little and ripping. This is in my eyes a rip. Maybe not intentional, but changing the background and adding text isn't doing anything. 3 layers for this at the most.

I did even more to mine then a member did for their Batman SOTW entry

He just added text.

I understand that and I do not disagree with you, that member should have been disqualified but it was overlooked. The member didn't win or come runner up so it doesn't mean anything and I understand your anger, however I think it was still appropriate that your entry just didn't have enough to it. I'm no moderator I'm just giving my honest opinion.
