Description Right so I'm going to get into a issue that I'm quite passionate about and this will be a long post. For those that want there short version. A page named Ichbinung has been stealing a bunch of blueberry/inflation content without the owners permission and I implore you to report this to DA as I will. Here is the link to this thief's page: www.deviantart.com/ichbinung/g…

Moving on for those that are still reading. Content theft within this community is one of the worst things that is prevalent and ongoing. It is a large reason of many why I and many others have deemed the Instagram section of the community as a cancerous hole of toxicity. This was a huge problem on Deviantart a few years ago but thankfully these scumbags who have stolen others artwork have either been removed from the site or have been ran off. Yes, some people might say that labelling these people as scumbags is harsh but it is the truth. If you are a person who takes other creators content and post it on your own page without their consent then you are a scumbag and do not deserve to be apart of this community. 

Now that I've explained the issue, I want to discuss this scumbag's page. I was made aware of this page earlier on today by people within The Inventing Room server and I was utterly disgusted. I went through the page and saw my own content which annoyed me further. Then, I saw more content from other people in this community which pissed me off even further. I know all of the content was stolen but I did see works from   As you can see, that's a load of artists content that has been stolen along with mine. 

So if you are wondering what's the problem then still well I'll go through the negative problems that content theft can cause content creators. There are really three different problems that affect the creator and the community. Regardless, in order to beat this, it's best to just report the scumbags page as well as all of the stolen content. 

1, It costs the content creators money. Now this is where the true scumbag content thief really comes out. A large portion of the time, these scumbag thieves will go out of there way to take away content creators paid content and post it online or if they are a real cunt, will actually charge people to view it. Now obviously, this is a huge problem as for a lot of content creators that end up doing paid content, they do so because they rely on it. Effectively, these scumbags are taking away money from content creators that need the money to pay their bills. In the most extreme case, you are taking away these creators only source of income making it incredibly hard for them to put food on the table for themselves or their families. Even worse, it could lead to another problem.

2, The original content is taken down by the company instead of being taken off the scumbag's page. This is rare but I've actually seen this happen before. A content creator would have his/her content stolen by a scumbag and for some reason their content is removed but the scumbag's version of the stolen content is allowed to stay. This is where you really see the true nature of the scumbag as they manipulate the rules so that they can steal the content and claim it as their own for clout. Then in a few years, their page eventually gets deleted and the piece of content is then lost forever. The problem with this is that it will bring down the morale of content creators making them feel not want to actively produce content which can lead to the last problem. 

3. The content creator leaves the community and platform. Sadly, this is way too common and it is sickening to see. Granted, if a creator just feels like retiring or just leaves on their own terms, then that is perfectly fine. However, when they leave due to the negative problems created by scumbags like these people, it is a sad sight to see. With that, you have one less person who is able to create and live out their own fantasies and others within this community and in fact, it makes the community weaker due to this. 

So why do these scumbags do these actions? It is simple. Nowadays everyone wants to feel special and have a lot of clout so they'll do anything to get it. These scumbags are usually either too lazy, selfish or just too shitty to make actual content but they want that sweet clout and fame so they take other people's hard work and post it just so they get a small feeling of importance. It's even better when these scumbags get called out because you are guaranteed to get one of three reactions. 

1. They'll give an apology and then delete it and move on

2. They'll claim they found the image and that they wanted to preserve it which is an incredibly stupid argument. You're going to steal a piece of content which is still readily available on the creators page. Besides if a creator doesn't want the image up, then it is their right to remove it. You don't just get to take away their option. Plus who actually named you as the preserver of content anyways?

3. They'll repeatedly say no and claim that they have a right to keep it on their page or that it's their content, even though it is not. These scumbags are the worst because they're usually privileged kids who have never been told no in their life or just sad cunts. These are the worst of the worst tbh. 

All in all, these types of people are shitty and cause a lot of problems for content creators and people within the community. The only decent thing is that they provide the community to show how strong their unity is and that we stand to help each other out no matter what has happened. I hope that this will be on these times. Remember, there is no excuse for someone saying they can't make content. Like I've said multiple times on The Juicing Room Podcast, Systems like Pixlr are free for morphing and can be used easily with the multitude of tutorials on this site. Writing stories is easily accessible. Even making videos is easy. For people like Ichbinung, they don't deserve to be within this community and should be removed ASAP. Also, if you are ever unsure whether the person isn't a creator or a scumbag thief, ask them to morph something. They'll either ignore you or usually come up with one of a thousand bullshit excuses as to why they can't. An even easier way is to look at their page, if art style of the content changes consistently in a short time period, then they're a scumbag thief. 

Thanks to all for reading this long piece and I'll resume the regular content this week.

I've got to admit there are at least I think three pieces that aren't mine on my profile but at least with all three of them for the most part I've asked permission on them I'm pretty sure and the only reason I've even posted them is because they don't have an account on here and I've always tried my best to credit them in the description if not in the title I believe there was one with Haley at well as well as stargirl

But I do believe in that the same goal is for patreon stuffat the least people should wait a week if not a month before posting that or at least wait until the artist decides to post it themselves a lot of times people do tend to post it themselves after a month to give that whole hearted approval

But I see where you're coming from on this it's definitely best to try to credit people where credit is due even when using templates for morphs I've tried to leave credit below to whoever it belongs to for the shape at least because for me I'm bad at hand feet plus the tools I use don't really give me that inspiration I need to just start making them myself because they always end up pixelated

But case in point it's always good to credit and if you're posting something that's a direct work ask permission as well as name if you're uploading your own profile

because chances are there are a lot of people who like to see what the originals look like or want to know more about everything in the process of what you create and it's always good to help out other artists I'm always a firm believer of that in this community hence why a lot of times I've taken requests in the past that I didn't have to I just did it because I felt like it and I felt like it was a good thing to give back we got to help with each other out here with just a small little community after all

Agree with you on that too although I do feel like you're paying for a service and with somebody example hellresident I feel like he's always purged his content once in a blue moon and with that liability factor there's a good chance that whatever you're paying for could go straight out the windowthat will say at least his content five bucks but with other content creators sometimes they charge 30 or more it depends on the person but depending on how much you spend whether it's overtime or instantaneously like I said $30 factor you should be able to somewhat preserve what you paid for you know what I meanat the same time the internet's the internet regardless of people want something done the internet's going to do whatever it wants to because the Internet is stupid that's just a fact sadly

But I do get what you mean if it's something they really really don't want I get it that's fine like if it reveals personal information or something I agree with you there on that but if it's just something random and a person's paid like 30 bucks towards it I believe they should at least have an archive somewhere for stuff like that you know I am a somewhat firm believer on preserving stuff depending on what that stuff is mind you but preserving it to an extent because you never know when either a copyright issue or just the person doesn't want to do anything anymore they're just going to up and leave or worst case delete everything even if they don't have a problem with it being reuploaded that content becomes lost a time you seen it happen so many times in history

So on that case I'm kind of a 50/50 I do believe to some extent some stuff shouldn't be preserved but some stuff should you know it all depends on who sacrificing more the artist may be working hard on it but at the same time if the person shelling out like $100 on it they should be able to do whatever they please with it as it is a good or service as long as that work of art doesn't reveal anything too personal or anything like doxing them then I don't really see a problem with it especially if the price tag is really really high

It all comes down to the scenario each scenario is different I am also a firm believer on that too depending on a scenario depends on how that scenario should be handled you know

but it doesn't matter what we say at the end of the day like I said the internet's going to do what the internet does it sucks that stuff doesn't even have a waiting. Example hellresident has said they don't mind their stuff leaking out as long as it's a timed release and yet people can't even honor that which is depressing the man's okay with you throwing out into the world as long as you give him like a few weeks to a month so he can make the money he needs off of it for food groceries etc hell he's even re-uploading a lot of it himself mostly older stuff lately but still

I don't know I feel like it's a tricky subject we all have our own viewpoints on stuff

Very true but at the end of the day let's just shake our hands and call it a draw we both made very valid points

Scratch that I don't think there's anything I haven't asked permission for first I only said it like that because like I said I'm not sure on my real real early stuff because I have like 800 plus things on here but I'm pretty utmost positive at least and 99%, most definitely with anything newer and like I said the only two new ones stargirl and Haley gif and both of those got approval from the discord artist I asked them first and foremost if they had an account on here and then I asked them what they mind if I posted on their behalf since they didn't


That being said I want to go further in on the patreon stuff it said here that a lot of stuff just gets instantly re-uploaded off of the community the minute it comes out I know that hellresident has a buttload of problems with this and I do heavily believe that although you can't prevent somebody from eventually reposting it whether the artist likes or not the minute it's out there it's going to be out there somewhere I guarantee it that's just how the internet works nothing can be deleted forever for the most part but at the same time you can at least humor the artist and give them time so they can make the money off it that they work so hard on for so they can put money in their mouth for bills for groceries for whatever they damn please before you repost I heavily believe that at least there should be some feature Incorporated for that but God knows how you go about that and as far as content creators losing their original stuff because of stupid corporate decisions that s*** happens all the time even on YouTube it's a really really sad thing and these companies really need to get on with their algorithms and learn what's actually belonging to what person and what's considered this kind of content good kind of content breaking their rules kind of content or not breaking their rules kind of content because you see that crap all over the place with every sort of platform I mean even with onyfans all it took was one actress Bella Thorne and the entire platform got scared and started monetizing and limiting stuff but that's corporations for you they're always going to be afraid of a big lawsuit that's going to drain them dry of everything including their livelihood I mean who wouldn't still they need to start getting better at telling the difference between what's what because it's getting downright ridiculous some of the stuff that YouTube polls especially the factor that they allow cat killers on their platform as well as other platforms like this one granted it's a much more mild issue than YouTube's but still it is an issue nobody should lose their content forever while some scam artist ends up taking that content and running with it as their own that's absolute b******* in my opinion

That’s why I try to put my username in the pic somewhere, cause it makes it harder for them to claim they made it.

Exactly the best way for something not to be stolen is to leave a watermark somewhere on the page at the same time I also believe it's good to cleverly hide it if you're going to just paste it on something it could just ruin the effect of the image I've seen people try to make tattoos with it which I always thought were pretty cool way to do something with it or maybe use it on one of the background items so that way it's hidden out of plain sight but it's there like example a logo on a helium tank

me I personally haven't done that just because the way I feel it is somebody's going to steal my stuff I don't personally care that's just my personal feeling so I got into this for a hobby and once everything's gone it's definitely gone so it's most likely people save it and preserve it while they can because if anything happens I don't think I'm doing anything but maybe zip file

That being said it's always good to watermark
