Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy! Post by: Mat Cauthon on 2006 November 30, 14:11:18 I wanted to upload a sim on GaySimsClub2 which had a lot of custom content in it. I wanted to be totally fair about it and give credit and respect to all of the creators with names and links to their sites and everything. Well I came across one creator whose things I had on my sim that said that none of his/her things could be posted on any other site besides MTS2, not even if you gave credit and linked back. He/She actually specifically said not to link back from another site. I PMed him/her and asked if I could please use his/her things with credit in a sim I uploaded, but they never responded back.
So basically it drives me crazy, because I thought communities like these were all about sharing. I understand giving credit where credit is due, but I don't understand this do not upload my CC with your sim under any circumstances. What is up with that? Mat Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy! Post by: Anouk on 2006 November 30, 14:46:49 Now that I think of it: Don't use my hair in porn movies or on fat sims!
:lol: Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy! Post by: destroypooja on 2006 November 30, 15:10:00 It makes me crazy too!!!
Nouk I can understand not wanting to have your hairs used on fat sims..... but porn movies! Come on thats going too far. :shock: Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy!

And since the game is about my fantasies it also gets used in what amounts to porn with monsters. Mat Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy!

Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy! Post by: Ghanima Atreides on 2006 November 30, 17:46:32 I think we came across the same person, Mat. :lol: Those TOS sound strangely familiar, so does the lack of answer to good natured people who do ask for permission...heh
But I uploaded the recolors I made of the guy/girl/thing's meshes anyway...and since I did my best to provide credit etc I see nothing wrong with it. Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy! Post by: Mat Cauthon on 2006 November 30, 18:36:30 HeeHee! I'm sure we are thinking of the same person since I know for a fact that we have the same taste in sims and CC. That's all I'm going to say about that...except that this is the first time I feel a little weird about being incognito.
I would upload the sim anyway, but the site owner at GSC2 specifically asked me not too if I didn't have permission and I respect him enough not to. Mat Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy! Post by: Ghanima Atreides on 2006 November 30, 19:00:26 It's cool, a lot of people here are incognito, I just don't care :)
I thought it sounded familiar, and well all I can say is, try finding another place to upload the sim...because in my case its been weeks and no answer to my polite request to upload my items. I too am for giving credit where credit is due, and since I MADE those outfits, and did NOT include the mesh, and unless I get a direct notice to take them down (although they should appreciate the effort of asking for permission in the first place) I think I'm entitled to share my work wherever I want...and I think it's just common sense. Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy! Post by: Aquamarine on 2006 December 01, 00:43:36 I'm probably going to start uploading custom content to different places in the next month.
... Guys, help me come up with the most fucked up TOS ever. With length to rival beosboxboys'. Seriously, I want shit like "DO NOT USE MY HAIR ON BLACK SIMS IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE" and to see if people say anything. Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy!

I'm booting up right now to put your hairs all over obese homosexuals! With cat ears! Kidding. Though I do have one of your hairs on a transexual who does porn. I don't actually make the porn, it's just what she does because her mother didn't love her when she was a little boy. Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy!

Actually, that sim is based off one of my MySpace friends. Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy! Post by: Yaardarm Monkey on 2006 December 01, 01:53:02 :lol: oh man, you guys slay me! :lol:

Wtf, I wish I had cool Myspace friends. They're all random people that added me and I blinded accepted. I think at least three of them added me because they think I'm going to listen to their religious sermons, a couple because we go to the same school (yet they do not talk to me at all at school), and a couple because I think they just wanted to comment on my pictures.

When I was in the pixel art community they basically just went on these idiotically long rants about how all the pixels belonged to them. Nevermind that they traced anime images or Rion Vernon's (http://www.pinuptoons.com/) art work.

You didn't read my rules!!' and it turns out it says somewhere in there that to continue you must in fact click the fourteenth full stop in the fifth paragraph.... -_- Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy!

I'm sorry, but I just have to gloat and squee for a moment!! My sim I made (the only thing I have ever made so far) is on the second page of Bines Sims Revue! Ok, so I am little silly to be so excited about it, but I can't help it! I'm not use to being featured on a page that has featured people like Nouk and Liegenschonheit (right now I am ignoring the fact that Carla Niven gets featured on it too :P ). It is the sim under GaySimsClub2 if anyone wants to check him out! :D Mat Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy! Post by: jesserocket on 2006 December 04, 03:23:57 *claps*
Yes, I would DEFINITELY choose to ignore the Niven connection though...>.< Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy! Post by: Doursim on 2006 December 04, 16:40:44 Sorry to burst your bubble, but Bines shows finds from anyone who posts an update (if it's advertised, I'm not sure of all the places they check). How else would my sites stuff end up there? ;) I can't get the finds page to load, or else I'd comment on your sim :)
edit: Oh cute! I like his lips. Plus I've always thought guys with dark hair and blue eyes were "it". Anyway, to get back on topic: Any creators out there than can't stand the "you can't distribute my meshes with your recolors" policy. Oh that drives me mad. WTF? I hate going to sites that send you on a friggin shopping trip to get their stuff, and I hate having to list the locations/file names of meshes that I use. Why isn't a direct link to their site good enough? Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy! Post by: calalily on 2006 December 04, 16:46:09 Oh my goodness - he is cute. Your site is obviously an untapped resource, and I will be using up all your bandwidth in the next hour.
Title: Artists that won't let you share drive me crazy! Post by: Mat Cauthon on 2006 December 04, 19:18:26 Thank you everyobody!! :D I too adore the black hair, blue eyed look...I have to restrain myself or I'd give most all of my sims that combination. The site isn't mine though, anyone who is a member there can share things that they made for the game.
I don't mind linking to meshes and things, I am just really frustrated by this one creator that says not to put their work anywhere even if you give credits and links. I have this awesome sim that I so want to upload, but he has a lot of content from that one creator that says no uploading of their content on your sim. :( Mat |
