I've refrained from posting in this thread up till now because, basically, it's a clusterfuck. However, things are becoming even more pathetic than the whole HIVEChan incident, not that most of you know what it was; it was discussed in the mod lobby.
It seems we have three things that could have happened here... I shall have a bit of thought devoted to this, and shall give my judgement after I have heard both sides, then I shall either delete the thread, and give out a punishment, or leave it depending on the verdict.
Please stand by.
[Cut down for space reasons]
Please stfu. I don't mean that offensively, as you're probably aware, but the self righteous attitude doesn't fit in here. What happened to the Elenai I knew when frost was around? The unasshole version, that is.
Do all the
wikilawyering you want, but I'll come back with equal amounts.
k. Oh, and the majority of you people arnt taking into consideration his "traces" arnt scanned.
Oh, and tracing also breaches ones intellectual rights. Ever heard of plagiarism hmm? Its a form of theft, and Squiggy should be punished for playing you all for fools for his ego.
In other words, case closed.
[Images removed for above reason]
Do you mean Intellectual Property? If so, please state where you found the images so that I can find out several things about them, such as some of the following:
- Which country the image was created
- What date the image was created
- What rights the creator/copyright owner of the image holds
After reviewing those I'll be able to tell you if, or conversely if not, Squiggy has 'breached' Intellectual Property Law.
As a closing statement for my first--of many, I'm sure--Rebuttal for Squiggy, if you're going to make a big issue from this, then I'm more than happy concur with your motion.
He may of traced some, if not all, of his images, however that doesn't mean he has broken any rules at all, nor does it give
anyone the right to hold any amount of prejudice towards him.
