As for the graphic, I honestly thought my friend made it.
When I announced the graphic on LUGNET sometime ago, no one said anything.
How was I to know it was going to cause a stir later when no one said anything
at the time I released it? All I got was deaf ears. Only later when it is fuel
for fire does it come up, so I am not keen on hearing any argument after the
fact. You all had your chance, silence seemed to equal aknowledgement. Not
even a “hey that’s cool”, until it served to denigrate me.
I worked for a few hours making the graphic, when I posted it, all I got was
silence.

I really can’t see why this is so difficult to understand, Eric. No-one had a
problem with it when you first released it because it came under ‘fair use’ and
you weren’t trying to make money out of it.
It wasn’t a coincidence that concerns were raised over IP theft only after you
used it to advertise a sale. This has been repeated many times in this thread,
and still you aren’t getting it.
Frankly, if you are serious about making a living as an ‘artist’, it is up to
you to inform yourself of copyright law, and it is especially important to
make sure it is ok to use any image you haven’t created yourself if you intend
to use it in any way connected with a sale.
This would be true even if it was Mark’s creation. You can’t assume it’s ok to
use it just because he’s a buddy. In fact it’s extra important to respect the IP
of people you consider to be friends. IP theft is bad enough from a stranger,
but from a friend it is an act of betrayal that can destroy a friendship.
All this is especially galling considering your reaction to Stefan Garcia’s
doctoring of an image a few weeks ago.

I would ask that LUGNET grow to include new ways of thinking for the future.

What? To include insanity, paranoia and a carefree attitude to the rules?
Thankyou, no.

...and now cue the inevitable ‘whateva’ or other non-response that neatly avoids
any need to actually answer to anyone for anything. :yawn:
