Wallpapers in Signatures

[iod]

How do you feel about them? Is taking a part of a wallpaper for a sig fine aslong as you don't write your name on it but do some chages to it? Should you have 'this is from a wallpaper' on your sig?

I think that they're kindof stealing since somone elses work is the main part of your sig and your name is on it, though what if you just like the way the wallpapaer looks and want to show it off. A wallpaper is an image, so why don't people get accused of stealing when they use an image of a character from a tv show or movie?

If its your brothers then there should be no problem at all (unless your brother gets pissed at you).

Personally I don't believe in stealing or using other peoples work for your own (just how I feel, plus I've been ripped before). Having done loads of work then seeing your work appear in someones sig can either make you feel good that someone likes it, or mad that someones using your hard work.

I'd prefer to see peoples own work appear in signatures. Taking images such as characters, or photos and maybe cutting them out from the photo etc is ok, because characters are a great edition to sigs. But just merging 3 different wallpapers together and putting your name on takes no effort.

So I'd just like to see peoples own work, instead of others :D

I think if anything is directly copied and is the main focus of your siganture its ripping.

[Syndicate-X]

If anyone's seen there own work ripped before or seen work obviously ripped... I can give you a website that combats rippers such as these... or I can post it, not sure if I'm allowed to advertise other sites though.

Although I agree with what iod just said, except taking something as small as a logo is still ripping.

[iod]

The site you're talking about is RH? and yeah taking small things still is ripping.

Ermm so you are photoshop leo da vinci ;) ? you draw all pictures yourself ?

[iod]

No but I've never used a wallpaper (I don't think anyway).

[Trigun]

but you told taking from anywhere is ripping so you ripped to and edited it as you can or i just dont understand ..
Anyway lets stop spam coz i fell this thread is useless anyway =P

[iod]

It's a good thread because it's been brought up a few times already but never had its own thread. I meant small things like Syndicate-x said (like logos and other things that define the person that made it).

whats good about this thread you think it matters to anyone i think like someone cares ..
all who posted is you and syndicate exactly who crying about this and as i told Devin wrote that this thread/poll dont bothers him atleast you say yeah guys come postand show trigun the thread is good it is useless after all coz no one cares ..

[RuDoLpH]

dont flame guys

also i hate when ppl do this i dont try to take background but jsut charaters i think is fine i think

like when u see a nice wall papper and thenu see some one with same like dbz wallpaper resied and just with the name on it it shows nothing

also if i rip soemthing i like to sometime post were i get things from

[iod]

so trigun you wouldn't care at all if this was my new sig:

[Becky]

umm I guess I'm confused by this because when I put my name or anything on a signature it's not because I'm trying to pass it off as my own work.. it's becaue I like the picture and put my name or whatever on it :P If I was a great artist I would make my own Yuffie or whatever and then that would be great but I'm not a great artist so I use pictures I find..

Should you have 'this is from a wallpaper' on your sig?:

I hope it's obvious that my sigs are from a different source and not something I made.. If I made it I'd be shouting all over the place :grin:

If a person can't take images off the net then whats the point of avatars/wallpapers/signatures/etc?? So in summaton, no, it doesn't bother me at all..

Er one last thing what's the difference from a wallpaper and just an image? You can turn an image into a wallpaper pretty easy anyway, and make a collage or add text or something... Your still taking someones drawing w/o their knowledge.

[RuDoLpH]

hahaha jacked

[GohanSSJ]

I voted no way but that's based on it if they use really someone else their work, if they just use a image then i don't mind, but if someone really did all sorts of work and effects on it, and you just take a part and put your name on it then it does bother me.

[Becky]

Hmm so is it that a name is put on there? I never really thought people put their names on there for any ill purpose.. I'm sure people have stole others stuff, but for a signature I wouldn't see why they'd bother hehe.. Then again, I'm a woman and know nothing (right Gohan!) :P

[iod]

Becky it depends on the wallpaper but the common kind that get used are ones that are like big sigs, by sizing it down and putting your name on it you are not designing or making anything just taking.
Your sig has a picture of somone, even if it came from a wallpaper the wallpaper's focus was on the girl not the design.

If you make a post talking about your sig design when what you have is somone elses design work from a wallpaper resized and with your name on it I think it's a rip. The same goes for other small things that would identify the origional creator.

And nice job on the double rip porn man

I think I'm understanding what your saying. People defo should be given credit for their work and in a perfect world nothing would be ripped, but obviously images are just the tip of the iceberg (games, music, software, etc). I think people should try to be more creative, tho :smilie3:

[RuDoLpH]

ya i play the bass helps me unwind after a hard day of whatever i do

but most ppl cant be creative any more evey thing has been done

so maby i will try to do something real real creative like nothing eles here
