Hopefully, this will 'fix' things.. again.
Nov. 2nd, 2015 08:55 amI fully understand "Intellectual Property Rights" and copyright. Kind of have to.
So, the 1st time I was accused via Redbubble Email of IP violation, it shocked the beejeebus out of me, and pissed me off, as I was 'guilty until I proved myself innocent". (UBISOFT claiming my "Assassin's Guild" photo series, the one that predates their games by over a year was an IP violation. I shuffled through all the legals and hoops, proved myself innocent, my work was reinstated, as UBISOFT does NOT own copyright of the word "Assassin".
Last month, I get hit with another one. For an original artwork. Fighting this one too, because:
1: It's an original artwork. A digitally created portrait, using an art program.
2: Song titles themselves are not copyrightable
3: There is no music involved, no audio, no video (see #1)
4: There are literally HUNDREDS of other portraits of the same person on the same site.
What really gets me burning is the "Guilty before you prove yourself innocent" bullshit.

What a weekend
Mar. 8th, 2011 09:42 amA friends big Five Oh, and then we went to see a lovely lady, Mrs T. :) She is such good company, any time with her is great.
Then Wing and I went to the Sculpture By the Sea at Cottesloe Beach. Amazing works there. What annoyed me is that even with the very obvious DO NOT TOUCH PLEASE signs, there were adults doing just that. There was one sculpture where I saw a woman try to bend part of it to see what it was made from. I said "Umm the sign says DO NOT TOUCH.. probably because the thing is fragile." She harumphed at me, but left it alone.
Surprizingly, Wing was.. irked that I spoke up. I then quoted the line that Mrs T said to us earlier the same day. "If you stand by and watch something wrong being done, you are just as guilty as the wrong-doer."
This was the sculpture being pawed, and no, it wasn't any of the people in the photo doing so.

I must be a sucker for punishment
Apr. 15th, 2009 11:11 amI am already in the process of creating artwork in keeping with next year's SwanCon theme "Contagion". It's getting there, and I like it.
Ok, I surrender!
Mar. 25th, 2009 03:58 pmAfter the subtle, and not so subtle, prodding of Aikidomayland and about 8 others, I am looking through my digital artwork to see which ones I will have printed out to enter in the SwanCon artshow.
