Interesting question about usage

Now, I love Rion Vernon and his site www.pinuptoons.com I had a gift made for me from an artist on NS that used his pinup girls as a base. He was credited fully and she took no credit, other than the paint over. I thought they were SO CUTE so I did this.

I was uber proud. Was the first time I did anything like that. I wanted to do LOTS more. But it blew up. Like...really bad. Ultimately NS banned us from using any of RV's bases, at least there. So that brings me to my next question.

Would anyone be offended or disgusted or perplexed if I allowed this on my board? I still would want y'all to credit him fully and obviously dont use my board to gain financially from it. I dont want to offend anyone and I dont want anyway to leave because of it.

So, what say you?

How do you go about using an image from another site? Id email the person from the site but I dont know them and I dont want anyone thinking Im dumb. You guys already know this, so it wouldnt be any news to you. :grin:

Ah, yes. I remember that fight at NS, pissed me off so badly. No, I wouldn't mind, and Rion said it wouldn't bother him if he's fully credited. I GOT IT IN WRITING!

Rikr 21 years ago

If the original artist doesnt mind as long as he is credited, I do not see what the big deal is with doing paintovers. I guess I'm glad I missed the fight on NS. I dont see the difference between making dolls and this.

So my answer is yes lets see em, since the original artist doesn't mind.

Was it you Tiime that did that amazing pic of the erudite by the seru pool? Someone did a fucking beautiful paint over and we all got blasted at the same time. It irked me, god damnit. =/ I undersand NS wanting to protect the rights of artists, I would poop a brick if someone used mine without permission...in fact that's happened already, but we fully credited him.

So I hereby decree...IT IS OK!!!

Sorry to hear you got banned. I've used copyrighted material in the freestyle section. Technically, I shouldn't, but it's not like I'm out for profit. Nothing but class projects.

Copyrights can be stupid. Yes, an artist is entitled to his intellectual property, but in the end, it's about money. I'm not diverting funds with my photoshop collages.

And I don't buy into that bs about stealing someone's soul. Sounds like psychobabble to me. We all leech off each other's ideas at some point or another. We can't invent art from scratch, hence the collapse of modernism.

It all comes down to legal rights. The creator of the original work owns the rights to it and it's up to them how it can be used (except for situations when someone buys the rights, but that's a whole other issue). NS was trying to avoid legal problems, but what they neglected to acknowledge was that the artist gave permission. It's human nature to make mistakes though so I won't get my panties in a bunch about it.
