niaro: pepsie: niaro: aschenluxderp: Facebook Game, Party Town, is stealing character designs and using them without permission. The text and images should do enough of a good job explaining. Note: The images above do not belong to me, except for the bottom right. The character and art of the bunny boy belong to me. I’ve made a few reports to the developers themselves, and left posts, only to get ignored/some posts deleted. Please reblog, if you feel this is something that should be shared. Deviantart Artists that were stolen from: Merollet - Top-Right Joyfool - Center-Right Rerolune ( myself ) Bottom-Right Like I stated on the images: if they’re capable of stealing from the big guns, would it really surprise you that they’re stealing from small timers? Other post with stolen copyrighted characters. Deviantart Journal with images above as a whole. And even if there are people saying that giving this game more attention would be “advertising them” I hope to god that the people who see this and disagree with it won’t download it. I can’t imagine seeing this first and go “ooh, fun.” Instead download Pet Society since that’s what it’s ripping off anyway. Also for “generating more traffic” some sacrifices have to be made to get results. She already reported it to facebook, I don’t know why people don’t think she hasn’t. But yeah to stay quiet is pretty bad. There are people who report crimes to higher authorities and don’t get shit from the police and get questioned like it’s your fault. I’m not going into details with what kind of case but if that can happen IRL and need signal boosting after to get the justice needed then I think it can happen here. This gives even a less “two sides of a story” chance since the evidence and act of stealing is right here. The evidence is posted by Party Town itself. So it bothers me that people are telling her just to stay quiet and leave it at reporting to the authorities (Facebook) without doing anything else more. Especially when she already has. I don’t like people telling her to sit tight especially when her art is targeted, I can’t agree with that. And even if you disagree with her, that is completely alright. However, please mind your tact and think thoroughly of the tone in your text and how it may come off to another. You would rather sound neutral trying to get a message across or else others won’t hear your point as clearly. And I don’t mean sounding “passive” or whatever. I mean standing strong with your opinion with a more considerate, professional tone of speaking to another. That’s with any situation and the difference between a debate and argument. A good person would give the same courtesy back and if not you’ll be better then them. I understand where you’re coming from, to get results they need more people behind them. What I should have said was they should’ve posted procedures to find a way to get more people to report the foul these people are doing. It’d be a lot more effective than the DA journal link and the link to the main site. I don’t disagree at all these people shouldn’t have been blatantly tracing those designs and should be taken down ASAP. I should’ve stated OP should have posted more effective procedures to take this down. I’m not talking about anyone specifically, but I suppose it also applies to clearing up any misunderstandings. I completely understand. That is definitely good advice that can be taken in mind especially since this should be considered the main post. There definitely needs to be an easily accessible solution if people want to help past signal boosting. If anyone needs assistance of better bringing this to where it needs to be please below for guidance: Go on the Party Town page Select “Report App” Save the first image of this post to utilize as the screenshot. Additional Details (required): This game infringes the copyright of multiple parties. If you can do this to help the artists would be really really grateful. -- source link
