multiple new users have been created in the last few days who are using my copyrighted avatar. I would like their avatars to be changed. I can PM any mod who wants proof the original gimp project file I used to create my avatar; for general viewing, here is a higher res version than my avatar itself:
it is a dark red shaded line with a shadow put through multiple pixelization and blur filters in multiple layers; as part of creating it, I merged most of these layers, but I still have three separate layers in the project file.
edit: I also have one change different from the shrunk version I use as my avatar - I faded it out to the corners for my avatar because I wanted to remove the sharp edge that you can see in the version above. in a moment I will edit with the names of the infringing users.
names of infringing users: lolinternets Merrell MagicGuigz skycock4ever
note: the last user also changed his signature to match mine, except altering the copyright date to before mine. this is why I will provide any mod who wants the project file that still has 3 separate layers, as proof that I am the original creator.

oh yeah, and there is that too, I require them to ask. they not only did not ask, but they are using the image as their avatar on this forum, which violates the first part - no permission for using it as your avatar *period*.

I think they're only using it because you put that copyright thingy in your signature o-o
Honestly I think it's pretty silly n-n

Do not wallow do not stall
Time waits for none at all
Your allowance may crawl,
It may fly or even vanish
But none will seem more lavished
Than time lost to all.
this is the internet, so don't bother putting effort into protecting copyrights? no, that's not how it works. there are plenty of websites were copyright is safe, maybe not from the rest of the internet but safe on those websites. and I don't want people reusing my avatar *here*. honestly I think these guys are doing it to provoke me, because I made that guy's mod easier to install.
either way, my request that their avatars be changed stands.

You copyrighted a red line with a few filters on it?
Seriously?
Seriously, man?
Anyways, it's the internet. While you're complaining about your red line, indie developers are getting games they spent months or years on torrented.
You're getting mad over a scribble? I mean, c'mon, how old are you, 5 1/2? Grow up, it's a red scribble, I can do that with ease in MS paint. Noob, I'mna get a creeper to come to your house and make it espode. = =
He seriously has a valid point depending on the state of the copyright, If he requests someone to stop using it, the infringing party has to oblige or give due credit within the image. . Which is again depending on copyright. If someone refuses, and the hosting part doesn't remove it he has right to press forms of Legal charges, just saying "its the internet" Doesn't give any justification for you to use it or defend an infringing party.
do not:
- - {use image as your avatar}
- - - or
- - {display it on any site not belonging to the minecraft forum}
- without my permission
The request is fairly worded as far as I can see, although it could maybe be interpreted as
Do not:
- {Use this image as your avatar}
- - or
- {display it}
on any site not belonging to the minecraft forum without my permission
Beyond that, taking someone's avatar because they asked you not to is a bit of a **** move. It's not really my place to do anything about it, but, I would have hoped that this place was a little better than that. I know it's not a particularly nice place, but still.
I'm sorry that things aren't working out for you, lahwran. I hope it gets resolved satisfactorily.

thanks for taking my side. honestly, I don't *really* give a ****, and yeah I didn't put a whole ton of work into it, but I put the notice there because I had been warned that dicks like to steal avatars of modders so I wanted to be able to do a small something about it if someone decided that I needed to be trolled.
anyway, I'll prolly change it soon, maybe to a similarly filtered writing of my nick?
btw, is it a bad idea for me to report this OP as something to get admin attention? probably...

Your avatar is a doodly red line with filters applied in Photoshop, and this thread amounts to the same thing as Gaudi trying to get a patent for a house made of Lincoln Logs. Get a life.

exactly.
anyways
So..
Double negative meaning its Ok.. but to continue.
Well being as they are displaying it on the Minecraft forum then as per your signature all is OK so long as it stays on the minecraft forum.
