Copying/Tracing

Please Note me or email me at zeniawulfe at hotmail.com if you want to use my art. ... Unless you are a tagging group or want to make tubes of my art. The answer to taggers/tubers is no.

Also, please be aware that I do not grant permission to anyone to copy or trace my drawings. This is a blanket statement for all of my drawings since I can't afford the time to go back through 700+ deviations and add a 'don't copy!' notice to each one.



So, a friend of mine just said in my Gaia guild that DA has now said that unless someone says "Don't copy/trace this!" on a deviation, then someone is allowed to come along, trace/copy it and then post it in their own gallery.

This is wrong. It should be the other way around I think. Why should we have to post this disclaimer? Shouldn't it be a given that we don't want our work copied? If you don't care or want people to copy, then you should put in a notice saying "It is OK to copy this!" Don't you think?

Totally backwards DA.

I edited my header to give a blanket statement that I don't want any of my pics copied. I just can't afford the time to go through over 700 pictures and add that notice. I will be adding it to all future uploads though.

ya A lot of people are leaving DA because of that so I think DA's really starting to realize what they just did.

Last night I found myself on the edge of hell.

This morning I found my bed large and empty.

To no one beside you.

Now I find myself down the rabbit hole.

If you need me follow the White Rabbit.

I've sent a comment asking about this hopefully we'll get the truth, but I think it's a stupid rumor. There's no way that DA can allow the copy or tracing of anothers work without the original artists approval.

What? o.o That's pretty fuzzy logic if you ask me. What are the admins thinking?

Reach out and punch someone.

Ugh that so...so...wrong! This just encourages art thief and I can only hope its a rumor if not...what the fuck DA? It should just be added to the Gaia TOS and covers everyone art work from theft instead of the time consuming waring artist will have to type every single time. Make no sense at all.
