Reblog to show your support for NSFW Artists, who deserve better than having their art censored/removed because of a badly thoughtout idea

[olddcsart]

I’m still amazed by how many people don’t know what’s going on with Tumblr and don’t know what’s about to happen to a lot of their favorite artists here.

If you like someone’s art; you must follow them somewhere else lest you lose touch forever.

Most artists like me are having their follower count SHREDDED.

To be perfectly transparent: I have 11k followers on this account and most other accounts I have 1k or less.

That’s how many people are choosing NOT to follow artists like myself on other platforms (even SFW platforms) or even on my alt Tumblr that only has 300 of you there.

It’s extremely distressing and depressing for so many of us to have to start from scratch because of a law most all politicians in the U.S. fell for.

Please support adult content creators in this super fucking troubling time.

PSA: Regarding Cumblr

Friendly advice: don’t put money into Cumblr until they’ve shown design sketches or better: a working proof of concept.

The pitch is very light on details regarding implementation. The people running the campaign are anonymous. Their GoFundMe page has flexible funding, meaning they get all the money people donate, regardless of whether or not they make their goal. To me, that feels like a scam.

Their current site is barebones.(read: off-the-shelf site template) If there were people with project management, design or programming talent on board for this project, you could do a lot better than “it’s going to be like Tumblr for adult content” - either they have no plan at all, or will only start explaining it once they make the goal; which seems kind of sketchy, seeing as they set it to flexible funding. 

And yet, 73 people have dumped $1,479 into that project.

Someone is putting the cart before the horse. As far as we can tell, there is no plan. There is an idea. There is a name. There is a domain name. There’s a logo that’s literally the name of the site in one of the default Windows fonts. (Cambria) People should be super fucking skeptic about this.

But I get it. Now that everyone is panicking and scrambling to get away from Tumblr, people are willing to try anything because none of the alternatives fit for them. But that’s no reason to dump money into a crowdfunding project that is, as of right now, nothing more than a name.

Please ask whoever is running this Cumblr project to either share their plans, or give up this scam.

The most exhausting thing about the misinformation about Deviantart taking root again is that it highlights how little people know about how copyright and copyright laws functions and that’s SO IMPORTANT for anyone doing anything creative at all.

Under copyright law as it stands now, every thumbnail, is making a copy, every single temporary image that someone downloads via their browser, is making a copy and is considered redistribution, as such DA needs the right to reproduce (make copies of) and redistribute (in the form of the files people download when they view the site) on their site otherwise they cannot legally host your art at all. If they do not have those rights, they cannot host your art and if that’s scary to you then you shouldn’t be using any hosting service at all.

All that scary sounding language isn’t that scary. Non-Exclusive? Means it you’re giving them a provisional right to it but it DOES NOT mean that you are locked to only them but also doesn’t means they have permission to transfer it either. Non transferable? Means they cannot give those rights to anyone else, you’re free to do whatever the heck you want. Reproduce and Redistribute? As I mentioned before that is what they need permission to do in order to make thumbnails, host images, and allow them to be viewed by other people. This is a required permission otherwise they cannot host your art at all, nothing can without it.

This is bog-standard contract work of any art gallery. Read Tumblr’s read Artstation, start reading the TOS and rights policy of every service you use, it’s the same language and the same rights and restrictions. The language also accounts for situations where someone takes a screen shot of the site for an article they’ll post that happens to have your thumbnail in it. It accounts for screen grabs of their galleries and other place when they make their own news posts to talk about a new feature. But none of those rights grant -commercial- permissions and none of their TOS grants them the right to sell those terms nor does it tell you what you can’t do with your own terms. DA’s terms of service are good and some of the most thorough and robust terms out there and they have no ownership of your work. Tumblr’s TOS is far more Dubious than DA’s ever has been so if you’re really that scared of DA then you should remove your whole archive from Tumblr as well.

Before you start panicking..

So everyone has started to go full ape on this tumblr business of no lewds allowed. However, if I understood tumblr’s statement properly, things are not as desperate as they seem.

All your posts containing adult content will be restricted to be viewed by you and you only. They won’t be deleted. However, it doesn’t stop you from communicating with your tumblr-followers. You can make text-posts when you release stuff for your fans, just as you always have, only without the usual preview-pictures or GIF’s. It sucks I know, but it’s better than starting from scratch again. Keep the folk that have been following you through all this time.

However, it is advisable as a precaution to make an account to other sites to rebuild your fanbase, or better yet make your own website, but for now your blog shouldn’t be deleted (though exceptions have occured) and you can communicate with your followers. For now at least.

So in case something does happen to this blog, here are links to sites where you can stay updated on my activities!

Stay strong, my friends. I’m not going anywhere. We’re just getting started.

Take care! -BJ

And now a warning about drafts

You ever write up a post you decide will be too controversial or embarrassing but leave it in your drafts to sleep on and then forget about it? How about real personal stuff you weren’t sure you wanted to share at the time? Heavy-ass receipts on bad shit you’re leaving there only just in case you’re forced to use them? Well if any of your drafts get flagged by the new system, a mod can apparently see them in with all your other flagged posts, and if they un-flag them, it publishes them automatically as a brand new post. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Sign the Petition

tumblr.com: Allow NSFW content on Tumblr.

PLEASE SIGN! THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!

Without NSFW being allowed on Tumblr (as from December 17th this year!), many NSFW artists will be shunted off the platform and pushed into the void! So many livelihoods of your favourite creators will likely be VERY damaged from this going forward!
