Plagiarism

reina__reina__
edited May 2009 in General Discussion
I actually feel like leaving the forum and stopping making graphics for people because everywhere I turn there is someone copying my ideas and styles, when they have never been done before. I can't even tell you how irritating and frustrating that is. I learned making graphics all by myself when I wasn't even playing VP and through hours and hours of practice and now people are taking my ideas and being paid for plagiarism. The least they could do is ask, but guess that's too hard. :x So just a heads up, copying other people's stuff is not cool, and it's not going to get you anywhere in the end... neither will you learn anything.

    I don't think so. :roll: <br><br>It isn't doing anything honestly.<br><br>They're taking tips from your ideas, they'll never -have- your exact styles.<br><br>They admire it, so they try to make something somewhat like it.<br><br>Nothing that bad. :roll:

    Nah, I'm serious. I would report it if I could but no one's going to care anyway.

    The dictionary says nothing about text. -- the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.

    Ah, well, was using an online encyclopedia - pardon my confusion! :D

    It's ok. I'm kind of over it now... but still. When it's very obvious someone has copied me it's frustrating but I guess I can't "claim" a style, not on the internet. Heck, anything you post on the internet can be taken.

    You haven't been doing it for years and years and years - with practice comes style. If you get frustrated, ignore the work of others. With time, your skill will prevent others from attempting to copy you, as their lack of skill will become evident very quickly.
