潮流粉丝俱乐部 Article: Notice of Intent

46

posted by DrDevience

I am not here to lecture 你 yet again on 照片 crediting. I am done with that.

I am way past the lecturing and into downright grrrrrr-ville.

你 already know full well that taking something 你 did not create and not giving full credit to the owner is theft. Your excuses mostly boil down to laziness at this point.

So.

This is my public notice that any and all 图片 with no credit to the original owner of the image will be rated harshly no matter how great the picture is... 或者 how much I normally like you.

Additionally, if there is a blatant Copyright notice right there on the damn picture and 你 still failed to credit the owner, I'm reporting it to 潮流粉丝俱乐部 -and- notifying the owner of the image that 你偷了 it.

Enough is enough.

DrDevience Pirate - the difference is that the videos have an automatic link back to the original video...

DrDevience Cinders - when someone puts 'google images' that's like putting 'fanpop.com' as the credit... In cases where you cannot find the artist themselves, then a full link to the image is needed to try to cover the legal ass of Fanpop and you ;)

DrDevience Question here: If it is too much trouble to dig around in your pocketbook for the money, or the line is too danged long at the check out... does that make it ok to steal the candybar?

chel1395 Thanks for the reminder, DrD. I'm definitely bad about this. I'll just credit the URL I got the pictures from or if I screen capture them myself, I fail to credit anyone. Normally though, I'm diligent to put at least the website of where I get an image (unless I personally took the picture) not only because it is polite, but also because if someone sees one image they like, they can go to the site and check out other images from that website. Thanks again for the reminder and I will be much more careful about crediting from now on. :D

maybeastarbucks Question: I create my Simpsons icons out of screenshots from a video on FOX's official website. Should I credit FOX?

DrDevience Yes ;) something like: Original image owned by Fox, creative changes by you

Cinders I meant to say, I link to the WEBSITE, not to google.

kateliness2 This is such a reminder- just about every one of my images/icons is a still shot I've taken myself from Disney. I usually fail to credit "Disney" perhaps because I figure it's obvious, perhaps because I put Disney as a keyword or perhaps I'm just good at being bad ;) Anyways, I'll be more on my toes from now on about crediting Disney. "Original image from Disney and tweaked by yours truly"

aholic Such a great article! You were also the one who told me to do it, and I can see why now. You learn something new everyday. I think this is great for those who did'nt knew :) Yay I will add this to my favorites!

PkmnTrainerJ DrD, can I get your approval on tags and crediting on the Smash Bros. Brawl spot, as that is mostly images. Just check it, and let me know if you think that's the way it should be. If so, I'll keep that the regular thing when adding images.

edennirvana I'm most definitely freaking out about this, but I'm trying to fix my mistake as fast as I can. Thanks for the reminder DrD!

georgiapeach91 I never knew that crediting was so serious. I am really bad about not doing it, but from now on I am going to credit all of my images. I guess I never thought that posting someone else's pictures was stealing, but now I can see it is. I am going to try and go back and credit my images, or at least post that I was not the creator. Thanks for the update!

harold Cheers, Lori!

germany123 Im really amazed at how many people dont know about this..but then again i know tons of photographers. Im sure its not even something people do because they are lazy ( well some are, they just upload and have medals for pupils) but they are not aware that people make a living from photography- they spend money to go to places,take pictures, edit them.. its their idea and their property. I cant believe that someone tried to use your images to sell stuff,countess! what are the fanpop four saying about this, anyway?

TheCountess the images I had problems with weren't posted on any of the Fanpop spots... they were posted on a couple of sites that I had. I lost the main host, but I've still got the smaller images up on three of my sites. If anyone is interested in the larger versions, they just email me in the meantime. Under no circumstances am I or anyone else to make any money off of them though. They're just listed as fan art with a disclaimer on the sites. As for the guy selling them on eBay, I actually found that our from someone who was collecting some of my wallpapers. I then had to get in contact with the seller and tell him to stop. I haven't had any more problems since then.

DrDevience Michael said recently he was going to post some kind of reminder to people... I have no idea what that means, but have suggested strongly that they make Image Credits mandatory.

DrDevience And actually, another field should be added. There should be Photog Credit, AND Copyright owner. They are not always the same. I have loaded hundreds of images to Fanpop that I own the rights to, but am not the photographer... I gave the Photog the credit, of course, but if anyone wants to reuse those images it is me they have to get permission from to do so.

harold Hmm...good point. But I think that perhaps it would be better to rename the existing field to represent the owner, and then those of us who know the photographer (who should get credit) can provide that in the description. The owner is a lot easier to figure out most of the time than the photographer, unless it was taken by you or a relative (such as Lars or Blake in our cases). My point is that a separate field for "photographer" would hardly ever be used...

DrDevience That is a marvelous suggestion ;)

bvgf You know some people forget who the credit goes to becuase the image is on thier computer for such a long time. DrDenvice do you want me to mention Names?

DrDevience bvgf ... it is ok to occasionally put something like: Owner unknown, let me know if this is yours that way you are at least being honest and it is not likely anyone will get sued over it. I will not accept that on a ton of images though... it is not a Free Pass.

ToastedRabbits DrDevience, I get a lot of my pictures from Deviantart.com, is putting the username oand the website enough credit?

DrDevience That is perfect.

ToastedRabbits Okay, thanks! :3 I just wanted to make sure.

emma_728 Oh! oops. Forgive me, I always just put, for example, the website. Such as, Fanpop.com, not the detailed URL or username of the person who added it. But now I will. Thanks! xo

Save Our Screencaps

posted by DarkSarcasm

This is 更多 of a 列表 than an actual article, compiled from picks and conversations about The Screencap Situation. Thank 你 to everyone who contributed a point that's been used here - even if 你 didn't know this would get posted. You're the ones who wrote this. I'm just the dummy who thought it was necessary to post in 文章 form. Desperate times, friends.

Why 潮流粉丝俱乐部 Needs Screencaps

-Screencaps have been added since before there was a screencap category. Now that there's definitely a demand for them here, they'll still get 发布 - in the 照片 section. It's already happening. Actual photos...

潮流粉丝俱乐部 Caps: Everthing 你 need to know about your Showcase

posted by Eline_K

Dear fellow-fanpoppers,

Recently 潮流粉丝俱乐部 introduced a new feature to our 个人资料 pages:

The Showcase!

Eventhough it’s not a very complicated feature, there seem to be quite a few 问题 surrounding the caps. This gave me the idea of 写作 this article, answering the most aksed questions. Let me first say that everything I write is based on how I think this new feature works. I’m not one of the fabulous F4, so please correct me if I’m wrong about something.

1. What is the Showcase?
This 问题 was answerd 由 F4 Dave: “The new showcase is for your 潮流粉丝俱乐部 bottlecap collection that...
