Head Stealing
 

I was making a head, and was looking for a head template to use.
I searched up Graal head template, and I came across a website with my old head on it.

Copyright:Only upload graphics which you have made yourself or got the ok from the maker of the graphic.

Now I guess iClassic admins at least try to delete stolen heads right?
Its not easy to tell which heads are stolen or not, but I'm frustrated that my old head was put on websites without my consent. Please find a way to fix this admins. :\

Watch, now people will go on about the graal code of conduct on the official website which the average iphone player doesn't get to see.

This has been said time and time again. 'Once it's uploaded to graal it belongs to graal and blablabla'

If you had known that fact before you uploaded your head you probably wouldn't have uploaded it. Since you didn't know the rule there goes your head...

It's Eurocenter's now.

should I crash the domain?

idc I quit ages ago.

yes all uploads belong to graal "and blablabla". but thats the point. It belongs to Eurocenter. it never belonged to the person who posted it on a website. and last time i checked, Eurocenter never gave anyone permission to put their graphics on a private website.

Eurocenter apparently owning your pixel art is only valid if the original creator uploads it. If I uploaded a new head I made on the forums which hasn't been previously uploaded to graal. Then someone steals it and uploads it, it can technically be removed because I didn't personally upload it.

Assuming you have the time, money, and experience to go through a lengthy copyright lawsuit in a foreign country. You don't.

Pfft. You have no idea how it works do you? You don't go to court unless the other party wants to challenge the infringement claim, If eurocenter got a cease and desist or something of that nature they would delete the graphic. No way they would go to court to keep a little personal upload.

many people use iFile to steal my ****, so i steal theres and make it better then they leave me alone :P

Just put your name instead the death animation.

You could easily remove the name.

Would a thief remake the entire head for the death animation

Here's how to make a head unstealable.

They don't need to remake the whole thing, just take your name out of the death animation....

*changes name to Agony* :o

Okay, you win.

All you need to do is rotate the right side view 90 degrees.. ._.

It takes two seconds..

Someone named I am stupid?

Okay, back to homework...

Not many immature pla....
You're right.

LMAO! Here's exactly how it works. You send the cease and desist letter. Maybe they take it down, maybe they don't. If they don't, what's your next step? Answer: YOU initiate a copyright-infringement lawsuit in the country in which Eurocenter is based. Good luck with that!

My point is that talking about head stealing and graphic stealing is ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is saying that "they must take it down under the law!" You have absolutely no recourse, so just stop.

You're saying Eurocenter would go to court over a head upload? lol.
They'd obviously delete the graphic, as higbey said.

I'M SAYING YOU WOULDN'T GO TO COURT. Do you think that things magically get into court by themselves??? YOU have to file a complaint against Eurocenter. YOU would never do it.

Filing a claim for copyright is a highly complex and expensive endeavor. Especially in another country. Stop kidding yourself.

Get to the point. No one decent needs or wants to see this.

I'm actually enjoying watching him completely own everybody he's arguing against.

Even thought I disagree with you Pazx, at least you get to the point instead of dragging out lengthy flame replies.

What the **** are you talking about? Why would we go to court with Eurocenter?

Wow, these people just do not understand what you are trying to say Bin lmao. Maybe you should use a bigger bold face XD, or better yet a big flashing banner.

If you validly copyright your Pixel Work then it does not meet the criteria to be uploaded to the Server. " No copyrighted graphics "

Upload any image to the Internet and the whereabouts of it is out of your control..

They try to do that as much as we do try it.

You mean:

I know, I face palmed about 20 times.

Over 700 hours in MS Paint :D. Just replace the text with your name. White represents the erased head.

But threatened to get sued, Eurocenter would see that it's a waste of time and money and just delete the graphic.
