Is It Stealing?

I was wondering if you render someons art, and use it for a sig,is that stealing there art? i was just wondering cus i dont want to do that, but some artwork has the best stuff!

 

if you mean art from deviantart.com...yes its ripping

 

from any art site, any fanart someone drew

 

literally , yeah. But deviantart so far is the only ones who have a problem with it .

 

hey i was wondering that too and wat if we get their permission? then can we render the art?

 

yeah. if u can proof u have permission u can render it ofcourse

 

i think technically "rendering" in the form of what we do here is theft unless the "render" is in fact something you have actually rendered yourself (i.e. made in 3d modelling software). pretty much all wallpapers are copyrighted and to basically cut an image out and say "here check out my render" is stealing somones hard work and calling it yours.

 

so i guess permission is ok.

Also, if your just going to use the redner for practice, is that ok? of personal use, like making a wallpaper, but not public? no one will know anyways. :lol:

 

does it matter?
someone made the wallpapers etc that your gettin the renders from now so your stealing there art. so what diference does it make.

 

I guess if youre going to say taking from one site is stealing you got to say taking from any site is stealing...I doubt anyone has gone without using someone else's work though...

 

so if i found a wallpaper i really liked and rendered it cuz i wanted to use something in that wallpaper for a sig , then im actually stealing.... ?

can i be sued or something for it ?

 

thats my question... maybe, maye not. depends on who you stole from!

 

the only real way you can be sued is if the thing you stole from has a copyright and they can get your information. however, it's an ethical matter more than one of the law.

 

I just avoid using peoples art if i can. I feel like even if i get permission and have it rendered, other people will use it without permission

 

i have respect for DA ann the artist do very good jobs
