So... since it seems that some of my artwork is being stolen - or showcased happily by Google, which links then directly to my personal LJ - I have to impersonate the Soup Nazi at this time. It will be a brief transformation, no worries. I'm sure I'll be back to my annoyingly giddy self in no time.
#1: My artwork/vids are MY artwork/vids. No stealing. If I find out you're stealing my stuff, or anyone else's for that matter, I will report you.
#2: In relevance to #1, if you are reccing my art/fics/vids etc... link directly to my journal. Do not hotlink my pics or upload them to your own photobucket, imageshak, whatever.
#3: I've always said that if you'd like to save a copy of my fics, my art, or download my vids for your own personal entertainment - no problem whatsoever. I wouldn't provide the download links otherwise, lol. BUT... they stay on your computer. They are not to be spread around the internet.
#4: An exception to this rule is icon sharing. I make icons, and usually I'll make them for public use. All you need to do, if you borrow one of my icons, is credit me. There is a SPECIFIC way to do this. Not just have one tiny little entry at the bottom dregs of your journal mentioning my name. If you don't know how to credit, just ask. I'd be happy to teach, as I'm sure many others would. I've seen mistakes concerning this and neglecting to credit way too long and far too often.
#5: In addition, any entry of mine bearing a music video or any piece of my personal artwork is now, or will be, friend-locked. If there's an entry you can't see because of this, I'd be more than happy to friend you. All you need to do is obey these rules I've laid out.
Any questions, I'm happy to answer! :-D
And thanks so much guys for all your support and sympathy, lol! Sometimes I can be very naive and think too much of people.
Also... for whomever DID steal my artwork? Come on, guys. Grow up and think about how your actions affect others. Any form of artwork is like a piece of the author/creator themselves. It may be a little melodramatic, but it is. I worked very hard on that piece and it was special to me. I'm incredibly disappointed, whoever you are.
