Description
DeviantArt is not just an image hosting site. Some people submit pictures they did not create from scratch so everyone can have "easier access to them", while others falsely claim they made the content.Related content

guess what? I saw a user "make" a piece of art called "my drawing"
however it was made by her "twin cousin" that was origanally called "sally and the cat crew"

Serious question, but what if it's something like an MMD or source filmmaker picture? I mean, the model isn't theirs, but they made the picture, designed them etc. And that's sortaΒ the point of the program.Β Are you alright about that? But yeah, I find the "easier access" thing super annoying. 8/

I'm not an admin or anything, but like you said if you haven't made the model yourself the same rules still apply and you probably shouldn't post it. However, you can upload them on other sites and then link to them in your journals if you want to. As they're not in your gallery, you're not breaking any rules.

What if the they allow you to post it and use the models? I'm pretty sure Valve allows people to use TF2/L4D models in SFM, as long as it's credited and stuff. The companyΒ allow people to use their models to animate movies. I'm sorry if I sound sarcastic, but to me these situations seem like an exception to me :L

Source Filmmaker is different because it's also owned by Valve, deviantART isn't. Maybe you could contact the site staff here?

True that. I guess you can contact them for permission uses and stuff.

Feel free to use this stamp as long as you don't submit it as a new deviation.

Giving credit changes absolutely nothing.

It doesn't matter whether or not you've credited the proper owner, it's still considered copyrighted and you still need permission.

ok are you happy now? I deleted the stuff i didn't get permission for or didnt draw.

Is this a request? Nope, don't take them currently.

Same goes for relatives? I mean I let my sister submit my artwork in her accound because ... I personally don't like it or it's fan-art. I don't do fan-art.

Well if the piece in question has been made by you in its entirety and permission is given to another user to submit it, there isn't a problem with that as far as site rules are concerned. Thanks for your concern anyway, there are still too many people on this site who don't seem to care one bit about the rulings.
π: 0 β©: 0
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Sadly, when this general rule is pointed out to people who post stuff that isn't theirs there is a general "Other people do it." response, or they just block you and hide your comment.

I know, that has happened to me to the point I usually won't bother posting a comment to say they're breaking the rules, and instead just head over to the report button right off the bat. What makes it worse that everyone else in the comments section always seems to be completely oblivious to this and praising said submission.
π: 0 β©: 1
Part of me is idealistic and hopes that maybe they just don't realize they're breaking a (really obvious) rule. I should probably know better. A lot of them just repost stuff when it's taken down, though. It'd be nice if the admins just banned people who continuously uploaded and reuploaded stolen things :\. And the people favin/gushing in the comments drive me insaaaane.

How to avoid all this: implement a system that makes the site's board of administrators go through every submission before they publicly show up.
Well at least that looks good on paper.

With how long it takes them to respond to reports it'd probably take weeks before each picture went up. I think they need to deputize some lower-tier admins in charge of going through and taking down junk that breaks tos. But then there's the chance that people would go mad with power.

I definitely agree with you. Some people need to get it into their brains that this is a place to post their own art. Not someone else's.
I'm so faving this.

Have you noticed several "Demotivational" uploads here on DA? They're just asking for the report button to be pressed.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, but they're far too numerous to ever get them all down.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry to reply to an old reply, but that's just about how sprite edits are, too (too many). It's quite a pity.
I feel like a terrible person for not reporting demotivational posters; I can't help but just find a lot of them so funny. Kidding, but nonetheless.
π: 0 β©: 1
Motivational and demotivational posters can be funny when they're done right, just so happens most of the time they aren't that creative and many utilize already overused-to-death memes (the Portal cake, cheeseburger cats, anything with the word "win" or "fail" in it, etc).
π: 0 β©: 1
Basically, yes. But the law can't be applied to certain ones just because they are / aren't funny, sadly.

It annoys me to no end, seriously!

I love this stamp.
I back Anti-Art Thieves 100 percent and with that said I would like to ask I was wondering if you had a stamp icon version of this stamp. If not would you mind if someone made one?
π: 0 β©: 1
No I don't have an icon version, but you can make it one (or technically two) if you want.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you very much. Just as soon as one is made I will make sure it is linked to you.

"deviantART is not Photobucket"...it must be written on the RULES BOOK OF DOOM

I know right =/
And I hate when people submit PICTURES of people or things from...like.../magazines/ D| It annoys the hell outta me.
π: 0 β©: 0
Totally agree, and totally using this in my journal if that's okay <3
π: 0 β©: 1
this is so true. I 100% support it. screenshots of games are some things the end up on the dA frontpage that do not deserve it. seriously, its a screenshot of a game, its submitted by someone who just draws popular things and bam, front page.

dont forget the magical cousin excuse...

That's a classic one, I can't believe anyone would fall for it.

I just bumped into someone posting stuff they openly admit to finding on google. >_<

Whatever the case may be, deviantART is not Photobucket.
Thank you.

Do love. Do love. Do love. Must put this on my journal soon. D:

I love this. I came across someone trying to pass off a Naruto screenshot as something they made, and it still had the subtitles on it.
