And how Hot Topic are the biggest art thieves? This is recent. As you can see above, I stumbled upon Hot Topic’s website and they are selling a very popular fan art put on a t-shirt, and did not ask permission from the original artist (rismo).This shows Hot Topic still continues their art thievery. Hot Topic are still taking art from artists without their permission. This is disrespectful and appalling.EXCEPT YOU DID GIVE THEM YOUR PERMISSION.BY AGREEING TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS ON DEVIANT ART.THEY SOLD IT TO A THIRD PARTY ROYALTY-FREE.http://www.deviantart.com/submit/agreewoah oops deleting my deviantart account*instantly puts logo on my best pictures*6. Payment Unless otherwise agreed between Artist and deviantART in a writing from deviantART, the license granted to deviantART under this Agreement is royalty-free.DeviantArt you literal piece of shitUh whatThat’s not okayyo okay this is REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT and imma be deleting my DA very soon because of it.Apparently, deleting isn’t an option.WHOA QUITTINGI’m so done with Hot Topic and DeviantArt. DeviantArt is one of the most horrible, toxic places I’ve ever been a part of online. And Hot Topic just gets worse and worse with each passing month. They’re a horrible company with over-priced shoddily made merchandise. Signal Boosting this, everyone needs to give up on DeviantArt.Uh wow canceling my subscription like right now and deleting fucking everything….Read your contracts, people! Section 3 d) of the deviantart agreement lets them sub-licence your art to any 3rd party without having to pay you anything. -- source link
