Proof on a silver platter.
Hello all who will be reading this, and hello to you specifically scourgette_love and scourgette_the_hedgi.
This is Scourgetteâs mun speaking, Frankiiro.
If you take the time to look through this blog and my personal which have existed for a total of two years now (yep, since 2012!), you will notice that there is a lot, if not most, of the art you two have been posting without my permission (and may I remind you that if you read the Terms of Use of Instagram, by agreeing you had pledged to not use third party content that was not originally made by you. So I have all the rights in the world to report both of you right now.)
Hereâs a snippet of the terms of use!
âYou represent and warrant that: (i) you own the Content posted by you on or through the Service or otherwise have the right to grant the rights and licenses set forth in these Terms of Use; (ii) the posting and use of your Content on or through the Service does not violate, misappropriate or infringe on the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademark and/or other intellectual property rights; (iii) you agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owed by reason of Content you post on or through the Service; and (iv) you have the legal right and capacity to enter into these Terms of Use in your jurisdiction.â
Here are a few examples of the Contents youâve been misappropriating my intellectual property rights with!
From my personal, which I linked you to:
While checking these you may also want to take notes of the dates that go back to, as I said, two years ago. So even if you have them on a side-blog somewhere here on tumblr, I can guarantee mine were posted first. Because they are mine.
And, if for some godforsaken reason you still donât believe me, you can look at my deviantart page right here.
That said, since you both have me blocked and this will probably be my only chance at getting your attention, Iâd like to share a little something with you.
When I first approached you both, I was more than polite and approachable. Yet instead of responding to me with an open mind and granting me the same respect I granted you (despite your actions), one of you was outright rude to me, and the other chose to hide and lie about their intention to communicate with me.
We could have discussed this, and I wouldnât have had to request that you both take my art down.
If thereâs anything I wish for you to learn from this experience, itâs to learn how to be respectful. Whether itâs a stranger or not, you have no right to look down on them just because you believe you are right.
And above all, that reposting/stealing art isnât alright.
and before you say âeverybody else does itâ, that doesnât make you right.
In fact, by your logic, with all the people who visited your page and told you what you were doing was wrong, you should have at least gotten some curiosity as to whether or not you were right on this issue.
That said, please, I implore that you both take down my art from your profiles if you are not going to credit me properly on every single piece that you post.
This is my final warning.
