Pretty sure there's a head that looks exactly like this.

EDIT:
Didn't see your post, sorry!

I think Tyler showed a pic of that head earlier.

Rexx did, I must have missed it.

Pretty sure this is what you're talking about Shannon. Haha

Erm, yep!

But thats just fan art, not stolen copyrighted material

And using "fan art" in a game is technically infringing copyright..

I don't believe so, but it might be, I'm not sure

This is correct. The vast majority of Gaia Online items are tributes to some anime, game, movie, or comic books. How is this shop owner not Storm from X-Men? How is this not Minato from Naruto? Rock Lee? Neji? Asuma? Naruto himself? Sailor Moon? Solid Snake? Aeris? Zelda? Tetra? You could really go on ALL DAY with Gaia's stuff. An MMORPG named Trickster also has a lot of this, including Power Ranger costumes if I remember correctly. Another MMORPG named Dragonica has outfits that you can buy for premium money such as a Kill Bill "kung fu" outfit and a Pokemon "red-capped 5-piece" costume.

The content isn't named after what they're clearly representing, but they are only tributes, not copyright infringing material. I don't understand why everyone is so concerned about it anyway. I really don't.

despite the stuff I've posted I honestly don't care whether the stuff is used or not, Eurocenter is liable for copyright infringement, not us.

Except there's nothing to be liable for here. All anyone complaining is going to do is get them paranoid and remove it, even though there's legally no reason to.

Therein lies why we're not being allowed to upload heads that are remotely similar to any existing character. You should be allowed to so long as it isn't a rip, but they don't for this exact reason. You only make things worse this way.

I'm honestly getting tired of this copyright stuff. Everyone's disagreeing with one another and it's not getting anywhere. I'm applying this to the SoulSlayer thread as well. Someone needs to make a copyright thread with legit information and sources on how this works so if someone is wrong they can be pointed to the thread and quote. I just want the huge dispute of what is and isn't copyright to be over. I don't know how the copyright works entirely so yeah.

Yes we NEED a thread defining copyright cuz at the time it seems like we r making up most of the copyright stuff in the posters favor.
