Non-Copyrighted Pictures, an Idea

edited October 2008 in Game Suggestions
Ok. I think the subject of <span style="font-weight:bold">copyright infringement</span> should be discussed in order to resolve the issue and hopefully prevent people from continuing it. <br><br>I'm a sponsor rescue--among other things--and I've come to realize, after viewing many...MANY pictures I KNOW weren't properly obtained from its copyrighter (I think that's what they're called..). I make it my business to delete all the pictures on the dogs I rescue, just in case... but I know there are millions more out there... SO! I've come up with a proposition that I'm sure has been suggested before but I may have over looked! Thus doing so, I've decided to bringing it back from the dead in my own words. XD<br><br>I've visited a few sites that have come up with a solution to copyright infringement for their own sites and I think we could use their ideas here too. <br><br><span style="font-style:italic">Ahem.</span><br><br>I propose VP make up its own photobucket type thing. <br>We could ask volunteer players to make nice, colored breed/import related pictures for the public to use freely. The pictures in the photobucket bank thingy could be the only pictures available to players for usage on the site. <br>The photobucket could either be on its own page or the players could choose them from a drop down list like the way we search for specific breeds at the market. <br><br>Maybe something like this would be able to prevent people from using stolen pictures from online and hopefully prevent the site from getting into major trouble when people realize a dozen of their prized pictures are being used--without permission--on here. <br><br>I'm not fully sure how this would be put together but I think we should make a move to do <span style="font-style:italic">something </span>in order to at least <span style="font-style:italic">try </span>to prevent VP from getting into serious trouble--if it hasn't already. <br><br>Any contributions to this suggestion would be appreciated seeing as I can only go so far before my brain farts with nothing. XD<br><br>Graicas for reading! ;D

  • I agree 100%. It also bugs me when you see "pro pics" of this sort;<br><br>Someone takes someone else's piece of artwork and <span style="font-style:italic">scribbles</span> on it to change a minor detail to fit a giftie color and takes full credit. Its even more sad when anyone with half of a brain cell and <span style="font-style:italic">tell</span> that that's what they had done. -_-
    Bye.
  • I love this idea. ^.^ I could even try to improve my drawing to help! xDD
  • Yes! People'd want variety to choose from I'm sure. :3 <br><br>Help is always appreciated. ^^

  • I really really like this idea. It's on another dog site that I go on.. and this girl just made a website and asked a whole bunch of dog breeders if they had any photos they wouldn't mind donating -- and she also collected RF pictures from other sites like Wikipedia that say it's all good to take them.<br><br>I might do this for VP. :)

  • Nef is already working on something like this with a couple different artists, I believe, although if players wanted to do something to it, I think that'd be great.<br><br>Personally, I can draw worth a darn and rarely go through the trouble of putting pictures on an animal.

  • Cool! <br>When I have gifties, I like to create my own pictures for them. Personally I don't bother with the RL colors but that's just me. <br><br>I hope the problem'll be solved with her solution then. :3
