Forum:Photo Theft!

'''This is going to sound stupid, but is their a way to block someone from stealing pictures off of your wikia? Like how some websites or whatever disable the right click? '''The wikia i am working on, i took the pictures from screen captures and edited them myself (so they looked nice) and someone came up, made another wiki (not wikia) and totally ripped off some of my pictures that i worked hard on! What's even worse is the wiki this other person is working on (who i have talked to and is just some other random person who does wikis for games for fun and not business) got the developers of the game to promote it on their game, so in essense they are promoting the theft of other people's work!

ok sorry for that ranting, it was mainly for informational purposes... sorry if it came across as whining. >.< Moranna Valdis 07:10, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

No, you dont own those pictures, the game developers do. If someone is taking your images they are allowed to so long as they are doing so in a way that qualifies as fair use.--

lame! ok ty >.< Moranna Valdis 07:29, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

You could, however, inform the developers of the game that you are the author of the edited pictures/photos. If they like your work, you should be credited/given some recognition at best.— subtank  ( 7alk ) 09:05, August 4, 2011 (UTC)
