Why not just add your name on to a frame of the head if it concerns you so much, if people that edit end up taking it out then at least they done something

or you know, be less salty and more flattered they chose your head to upload and use  

Don't upload the full upload if you don't want anybody to have it...But what if there was a report option for 'stolen gfx'

I was flattered until said player claimed to have made it from scratch.

Okay well (this is mostly directed towards ivy, but it goes for anyone) if what you made on Graal is copyright and stolen by someone then why don't you stop whining about it and sue them. That's about all you can do. This is a small game with a small community made of mostly tiny pixelated images and if your actually going to waste your time getting mad at probably 10-15 year old kids who probably didn't even know that what they're wearing is "stolen" then why don't you do something about it.

The staff here have more important things to do than come up with a way to keep children from playing with your graphics that probably won't even work since they'll always find a way around it.

Get over it or use your time to take action and sue some children instead being children. *chuckle*

I'll be contacting my lawyers later today about the matter. Thank you for your advice, CoCo.

I hope you realize the copyright on your graphic goes invalid as soon as you purposely upload it to graal since it'd turn into graal's property.
Copyright would only protect your graphic if it has never been uploaded to graal in the first place. So yeah there's no way to win lmao

That'd be like paying 200 dollars for a throw-away plastic plate

Oh I know. I only said it like that since everyone else is saying that isn't the case.

What makes you think you could afford a lawyer if you couldn't even afford itunes?

Prob doesn't understand what extent she's going to over her pixels. I'm no graphics artist, but I would roll over in my grave before paying for legal action over something like this. I'd also probably sigh heavily upon hearing this as a lawyer, before bleeding the client dry ofc.

Took the words right outta my mouth.  

If she loves her pixels, then she loves her pixels. Would you treat someone you love differently than someone you don't even know?

People have literally fallen in love with rocks. Once upon a time, there was a man that found a rock with a symbol on it, that came to be called the roswell rock. He fell in love with that rock, literally.

"Lawyers’ fees run from a low of around $125 per hour to $500 per hour or more in some cities. What your lawsuit will cost, in attorneys’ fees and costs such as court filing fees, costs of court reporters for depositions, expert witness fees, etc., depends mostly on how complicated the issues in your case are, how many people are involved, how well-financed they are, how vigorously they defend against your claims, and whether the suit must be brought in another city or can be filed where you live. However, even a relatively uncomplicated suit can cost you several thousand dollars to bring to the point of trial."

that is quite a lot to spend even for people.

Expense practicality is relative. What gives you guys the right to determine what her values should be?

Not saying I have a right to control her money, but I do have right to speech, which I'm using to advise her heavily against this, because in the view of 99.9% of people, spending many thousands of dollars and many months going through trial is indeed does not seem worth it in the eyes of nearly everyone.

You see, whiteknighting is kind of you and all but sometimes reality needs to fall into place. Not everything is subjectively a good or bad choice, as much as people would like it to be. You'd have to be passionate to the point of error and delusion to go through this process for a head on Graal, and that's objective. If Ivy is that passionate about it, then I'm not stopping her, but I'm going to give this advice despite you arguing for her right to waste money (which I support, of course).  

On a side note 3bad manages to get an edit of Sage's gst hat uploaded as their 1k.
