about 15 years agoHmm, I wonder if posting vector derivatives of someone else's art and calling it your own is against DevArt's TOS... Let's find out!

about 15 years agoI have nothing against people vectoring stuff, but it's staggering how many people believe that tracing (or scanning, or photoshopping) someone else's stuff makes it theirs.

about 15 years agoYES. There are practical reasons one may wish to do it, but it doesn't make it their work any more than downloading a scan from moe.imouto and putting it on imageshack does. Only a mental-defective could think otherwise.
tl;dr There is nothing wrong with vectoring something for practical uses...but it does NOT make it your work. Claiming otherwise is retarded. (So obviously, claiming someone ELSE'S vector is yours is DOUBLY retarded.)

about 15 years agoThats like saying downloading a movie is theft.
Theft still needs a physical object to be stolen in most countries. Not data out of the internet.
Depending on which country you live in , tracing an image should actually make it YOUR work. Its plagarism though and the original author could still sue you.
However, it usually only gets a problem with police and law once you start charging money for it.
Because most japanese artist dont give a crap about their work beeing used for all kind of stuff.

almost 15 years agoYeah I'd like to see you say that one in court and see what the judge has to say.

almost 15 years agoI cant remember anyone here in Germany that got sued because he downloaded anime/manga.
Also note that in Bittorrent stuff, its not only about downloading, but uploading it to others as well. And this "making it available for a broad publicum" is far more dangerous court-wise than only downloading it (via irc, http, ftp, OCHs, icq, etc) !
