Attached Link: Copyright Policy
The link to Copyright Policy can be found in the drop down menu for Rederosity Info at the top right of the page ;) Yet, I too think it is something that should be featured a lot more prominantly. I'd also like to apologise for my little misconception above as I thought Joe had used the work of someone I know, who's been subjected to such misuse of their images lately. If this had been the case, well, in my eyes its akin to painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa. As Jim so eloquently explained, Joe had been offered support, that which fitted in with the law. It isn't about elitism, but the fact that not only is Joe liable should the original artist wish to sue him, so is Renderosity. All emotional sentiment aside, this is why you cannot publish copyrighted work without written permission from the artist. And newbies are always welcome to my support and help ... if they ask nicely of course ;)Thread: MODERATORS HAVE PULLED ALL MY IMAGES | Forum: Community Center
Sorry I really didn't mean to be elitist, and as my post said, I don't wish to turn this into a 'what is Art' debate. I think it should be said here that Joe chose not only to use copyrighted images (which for many reasons, beyond that of artistic integrity, viotates the TOS and is illegal without the Artist's clear written consent) he chose to use the images of a very well respected Artist within this community. When asked to stop doing so, he continued anyway, thinking a simple credit will make it right. The bottom line here, as should be with all original artistic creations (not available for free public use) is that this is theft. The artist is not there to provide images for others to alter, in fact most would find such a thought barbaric and verging on vandalism. I know this sounds like an elitist stance, but an artist's creations are not only an image, but an expression of everything they have experienced to create it. It is something very personal to an artist and almost as if someone is taking their child and calling it their own. That may sound extreme, but we should think of these extremes, especially when specifically asked to stop doing something that is causing another distress. I should add, that I was being very extreme when saying that colouring in is not an artform, it is, but it shouldn't be seen in the same light as the specific work that is being discussed. No ill intent or elitest views intended :)

It looks like I'm a bit late to the post as Joe may not read this now, but I'll give my 2 cents worth for the benefit of anyone else who thinks its okay to steal other's work. I'm not going to get into a huge dissertation on what Art is, but I will say this. When an individual creates anything from their mind (not copying or whatever, just like the Masters did) they are creating an original work. Not just in appearance, the creation reflects every part of their brain functions, beyond that of technical training. What makes an Artwork unique is the fact that an individual created it and no other, even if he/she copied it, could produce the same image/experience for the viewer. If we all copied from each other, then Art would die as it would become as generic as the rest of reality. You can colour in other people's creations all you like, you will never be considered an Artist by most of your peers (and that's where Artists are really judged). Anyone can colour in. What we like to see in Art is originality, your OWN creations, from your head, not someone else's. I really can't see a point to calling yourself an 'Artist' otherwise. Personally? I see copyright violations like this another form of identity theft which seems so prevalent these days...really, people should find their own identity to express.
Thread: Opinions requested on Gallery Content | Forum: Photography
I guess I'm too purist in my ways ;) MHO? The photography gallery should be for unmanipulated photographs. Touch ups, contrasts or tinting should be accepted. As should photographs with 2D or 3D additions as a decoration on a border, rather than on the actual photo. When it comes to photo manipulations (I think heavily changed falls into that catagory) and images containing additional 2D elements, these should belong in the 2D gallery as they no longer resemble the original photographic capture. The techniques and skills involved in creating these type of images usually fall into the 2D arts genre. Using a photograph as a backdrop for a 3D element, or changing a photograph with a 3D creation, images should really fall into the Mixed Media or the appropriate 3D gallery. The skills that it takes to create these artworks falls into the 3D arts genre. The images in the three genres of galleries, Photography, 2D and 3D, all require completely different skills to create. As R'osity is partially a learning centre, would it not be more helpful to be more stringent about catagorisation? I'm sure a beginner would find it easier to get help if they know exactly where to go to look. As far as stock photos in the photography gallery? No, people should take their own photographs if they wish to be interested in photography to that degree. Manipulate it and throw it in the 2D gallery with credits to the photographer please ;) That's my 2 cents worth anyhow L
