(1/2) amylee_perfection on instagram is a reposter. They crop out the original artists watermark and puts their own. When confronted about something they reposted of mine, they said "it was found on google" and when they're told "it was found on google" wasn't a good enough excuse for them to crop out original watermarks to put their own they said they can do whatever they want, it's their account. blah blah blah. the usual reposter bull crap. I notice tumblr users edits on their feed
(2/2) Just thought I would let you guys know in case you are making a list of reposters on different social medias and to let the fandom here know their things are being misattributed.
REPEAT AFTER ME, PEOPLE: FINDING SOMETHING ON GOOGLE IMAGE DOES NOT MAKE IT YOURS ! Do you really think I would be here if that worked in this way ? You can bet your sweet ass I would claim the Mona Lisa as mine “because I found it on Google Images, and I reposted it on my account”, and force people to pay me whenever they see it / to buy me things to congratulate me for my talent.
Thank you very much for this information, Anon =) We have a list of reposters on other social medias but we haven’t published it yet because we are still debating it’s utility. It is already hard to get the staff to respect their own policies here, but to get other websites to take actions against thieves ? That is a nightmare, trust me. But it keeps happening and people get credits for things they have stolen from Tumblr and reposted on Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, WeHeartIt… so we might publish said list soon.
The worst part is that they are massive hypocrites: the minute they get reposted from, they viciously attack everyone. This “It is my account / the Internet” bullshit needs to stop ! Usurping someone else’s work is no more legal on the net than it is elsewhere. Plus, what is the point of getting notes, followers, and credits for something you stole ? What is good about being as fake as possible ? It is very mean of me but sometimes, I wish someone would give them a taste of their own medicine. Reposting everything they’ve ever posted on their accounts, usurping their ~work~ and their identity, and then acting like those are normal things to do on the Internet. Just because you are on your own account doesn’t mean the rules and laws don’t apply to you, guys ! Just imagine using this same logic elsewhere: “It’s alright if I put other people’s art in my living-room without their permission, officer ; it’s MY living-room !”, “It’s alright if I pretend said art is mine and get credits and appreciation from it, officer, I’m in MY living-room !”, “Also, I murdered someone but it is absolutely fine, officer, because it happened in MY house, and everyone knows you can do whatever you want when your at your place” (That escalated quickly but this bullshit has no logic whatsoever and extreme examples are the ones that show how dumb these ~arguments~ are)
TL;DR: Everyone who has an Instagram account should block amylee_perfection, and also report them to both Tumblr’s and Instagram’s staffs. If this person has a Tumblr account, please let us know so we can block them from all the EvBlogs too.
