Stealing Avtar´s...

Point of fact mickster

I dont think anyone is claiming "ownership" of their avatar. I know I'm not because I didnt make it from scratch.

I do know that I took the time to find it, edit it, and be the first to post it.

I represents me and my identity on this board therefore it is "mine"

First come first served. I found mine now you find yours. I think that is the point of this whole thing, and not outright ownership.

mickster has a good point. doesnt seem like anything to get worked up over because someone else uses the same avatar. Unless you own the rights and have copyrighted the pcture or symbol.

Think it's not nice to steal somebodies avatar.. I try to be original with my avatar, I personaly think it reflects who you are.. If somebody steals your avatar it makes creates confusion..

Hornyone:

Point taken.

But you can't claim that it's YOUR avatar. It's an edited pic that you posted.

Whose to claim "I saw it first"? If you pulled it off the net, then you can't say you saw it "first". Perhaps I saw it 6 months ago... can you dispute that?

I could make an avatar of Tawnee Stone, that I saw in 2000. Is it "mine" ?

Unless you made it from scratch, or unless you took the picture or created the gif, it's not "yours".

Mickster, as I said first come first served. I did not say a thing about seeing it first. I said the first one to post it. I cant claim you didnt see my avatar on the net 6 months ago, but I can claim I was the first one to use it on WBW. Therefore on WBW it is mine. As for your question about Tawnee Stone in my opinion if you were the first to post the particular pic that you saw back in 2000 then on WBW it would be yours. If someone else wanted Tawnee Stone then I think they should have to find a diffrent pic or pose as opposed to stealing yours. If someone else wants to post an eagle that would be fine with me as long as they found their own rather than stealing mine.

Then you and I will respectfully disagree, Hornyone.

I stand by my statement, and I understand yours.

somebody stole my old one so i changed it

so, we finally made it.
i told you, you just have to ask people nicely and politely and they will understand.
ok, sometime you will have to ask them a 100 times...

Wow.. I didnt want to make a big fuzz..
I just think the Avatar is YOU...
And i think its stupid if you go directly into this forum, see another Avatar and just take it and change the color..
Thats what gets me upset..
The Avatar should be YOU in this forum, and people should try to get a Avatar that represent them, and nobody else.
I know it will be harder and harder to find some, but pictures like yourself or mine og Hemi´s, should be hard to find anywhere else on the net..
If you understand my point there ?
Mine Avatar is a Tattoo that i have..
So, its kind of mine, if you can say that ?
But yeah i got it from somewhere else, like almost everybody..
But im allowed to use this pictures as mine.
And i understand the opinion of all of you, for or against this Topic..
But i think you would be a bit upset if some guy joins the forum, takes youre avatar and just change the color of it.. ? Or ?
And i understand i dont OWN anything.. Maybe i should put a Copyright on my Avatar then?!?
Would that help?
But thanx for a nice discussion... And thanx for nobody talking dirty to eachother..
And still thanx for the help..

this all seems a bit childish, "its mine, all mine" lol. Its not yours if you dont own it or if you didnt create it and copyright it, its that simple.

As I see it only six of the members on this post are paid..(I figure Diz-X and Senge pay) and the most vocal are free members, Demanding rights. The play for free mentality has strong roots, Its like complaining a free sandwitch has no mustard..Avitar or piks most are rip offs anaway, .. but using anothers is like stealing his/her last name.. Not a nice thing to do.

I see that most rules are routineley broken on the site.

As one great American once said...I am against any law that affects me directley!

So Party on and be free.

which american said this?

It was Samuel Clemens...AKA Mark Twain.

I think you can't claim an adavar but when somebody has one it's not appropriate to put it under your name. So discuss about it and you will see everything is gonna be allright. Whebn it becomes a conflict just went me or Diz-x a prvate message and we see if we can work it out. Every problem has a sollution.

you can't claim anything if its a avatar you found on the net but it is fucked up if somebody got yours you could be confused and shit like that it's simple to take another

look my avatar now thanks 2: DevilHair[DK]

I wonder if Wolvey would like mine?? I raised wolves for a long time and have an affinity for them.

Unlike some have said in these discussions, I think it's not about the copyright of the avatar, but the "right of use" for the avatar (especially in these forums)!

I haven't made my avatar myself, but I used here first, so I "have the right to use it in here", if someone stole my avatar, I'd be pissed about it cause it's kinda my identity here like some have stated!

In the end, very few of us have made their avatar themselves, but I think none of us would like if someone else was using it, right?

so my opinion is that DevilHair has full rights for his avatar here, nobody else!

Just my opinion

There's nothing difficult about making a nice personalized avatar,

bottom line : Avatar Stealers have no imagination.

Sorry, but what is an avtar?
