Okay, now I'm not normally one to do this sort of thing (ie:flame one), but THIS kind of crap I can not tolerate.
So yah...care to explain? Not that there seems to be much to explain considering the evidence, but please do your best... Honestly, all I want to know is WHY would someone do this.

Now for me to "vent". Just to clarify, because perhaps a 13 year old boy doesn't understand, what you are doing is WRONG. To steal someone elses work (whatever medium it is created in) is considered perjury. Someone took the time out of thier day to create something and you have no right to steal it and claim it as your own.

I agree with Kisit-san. (nods in agreement) Biz-san, stealing is stealing. If you didn't do it, you shouldn't take the credit. I'm horrible with graphics. I don't make any of my stuff, but I won't say that I did. Even when I like someone's avatar, I only keep them in my avatar collection, never for use. Only use the ones where there is permission, right? If someone else made your signature, you should give them credit. It's not easy to create graphics.

Although I forgot where I got this avatar. --;; I just know that I didn't create it and...oh wait! It was on NCT's website. ^^ They said it was okay. I don't know who created it, but it was probably someone on that team of Fr scanlators. Hm... Should I be writing that in my sig then?

Help me here, Kisit-san!

Stealing someone else's work and claiming them as your own is a big no-no. It's one thing to use a sig someone else made and give proper credit to the creator, but it's a different thing entirely to post others' creations and falsely claim them as your own.

Oh and another thing: don't try to deny the claims in the face of the evidence presented. It would just make things more unpleasant for you. My suggestion is to own up, apologize for what you've done, and never do it again.

Wow i'm appauled but at the same time i agree with what you are saying. i'mgonna bring it to his attention when he signs in.

[Joji]

lol u just noticed this now? hahahaha.

the best thing is just to ignore it. i mean we really dont need another one of these discussions do we.

but hey. what if he was the one who posted them on that site o.O, but thats not possible. the site is self-explanatory.

same scenario as aya. they both wanted to be recognized, wanted to feel like a god in the forums, wanted ppl to be jealous of their works, wanted to have some fake inspiration on people blah blah blah.


My suggestion is to own up, apologize for what you've done, and never do it again.
its the internet hun. might be a possiblity he would apologize and say he wont do it again then do it in some other place. like i said before just ignore it. ppl like biz aya or other art thieves dont give a damn. most likely their already doing it on other forums/sites.

and kisit if u wanna boot him out of the division for this. go ahead, idc

[Saviour]

Lol....man even if i take someones avatar/sig i always ask for permission...
or i TRY to make my own ones (see my sig below lol)
man but just taking it i wouldnt mind
but using it as ur own... and CLAIMING it as ur own is just darn pathetic...!!!
maybe its cause your only 13 years old....but who knows... i think u should take it out Biz

[Pokhiel]

Kisit nice detective job! :)

Anyway, BIZ many of us feel at some point that if we steal the work of other people nobody will notice. But as you see... SOMEONE notice.

You are very young, try learning they are tons of tutorials. Ask for advice.

Now is a signature banner... tomorrow who nows. What we made about ourselves while being young turn to be is a reflection of our older/future self.

For your own good dont steal anymore. Do your own work. Be yourself. The worst thing that can happened to someone (specially at the web) is being loved for being someone u are not.

Actually Mimiru was the one who found it, I'm just presenting it here because this it one thing that I can not stand and I'm interested in what the excuse or explaination is.

Of course, whatever his reason, to me it will not be good enough. We have traveled down this road before with another case and the excuses were lame there as well. Will this likely have the same "closure" as the last time? I'm guessing yah... It's not like there is much I or anyone can do about it, but just making it known and finding out why is important to those who might have (dare I say) trusted him.

[Rokushii]

hhahahaha, this amuses me

I'm crap, I post my crapness, and people tell me my crapness is crap, and my life doesn't change. Really, so pointless to say something else is yours, haha, old grenthy is right.

[Kiosu]

its the internet hun. might be a possiblity he would apologize and say he wont do it again then do it in some other place.Well, I meant he shouldn't do it again here. I don't give a toss what he does elsewhere.

But blatant stealing of artwork/digital works other people have done is one of my biggest pet peeves.

[Unoe]

Stealing artwork is wrong. You know the person who made that can sue you for copyrighting? Copyrighting isn't just for written work, there's a law that protects drawn works so that people like you can't put their filthy hands all over artists work. You can get a fine for stealing as well as jail; the fine does go up to $25,000 and I don't think your parents will be too happy. Even if you're 13 years old, you should know that claiming someone else's work is just WRONG! I should know because I've had it done to me before; someone going off and taking my art that took me one whole damn week to draw and complete! You wouldn't believe the stage I went into, the whole snarling and snapping of pencils is not beautiful...at all. It may take you 5 or 7 minutes to take someone's art but think about how long the creator took to make this art.
Art isn't just something you draw for fun, although that plays a big part, but it expresses their thoughts and voices and for Tom's sake, you're a teenager, you should know that. how would you feel if someone walked up and stole something that you cherished? You won't feel to shabby now would you?! Eh?! The next time you steal someone's art, I swear on all my arkwork, I will hunt you down and beat the stuffing out of you with my golden spatuala.
And another thing...it's art thieves like you that force good, decent artists to put big, transparent siggies smack in the middle of their art just so it won't get stolen. You people make me sick, and I hope you're happy with what you're doing while the rest of us suffer from your rash actions. I do hope God strikes you people with thunder.
