Roll eye catch?

I found a rip of the Roll Eye Catch at Deviantart http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/21388449/ but before I can report it I need to show the admits proof so they can delete it. Is there a screencap of this on the site I can link them too?

I hate art theft. What's the point of taking credit for a piece of artwork that isn't your? Grrr.......

Actually, I believe the person who made this is saying he made a wallpaper. He's not claiming he drew it.

That's not art theft. That's simply a poorly modified screencap.

You should only report art theft if the stolen submission looks fan-made and differs from the theif's current style.

According to Deviantart policy it is Art Theft. Here is what Deviantart considers art theft http://help.deviantart.com/304/.

I know little french but well enough to transalate it a bit. The author says this is a wallpaper she made for fun, and one of her friends is using it, too. She only added some little effects to make it.

In my opinion, it's true as she says, and wallpapers aren't illegal when they are made of screencaps, it happens all the time. She isn't saying she drew it, so there's no illegal stuff happening here. And since the wallpaper is kinda fun, I see no reason to complain, unless you're jealous of the wallpaper ^^.

Nonetheless, it probably WILL get removed from her profile sometime in the future. A lot of my stuff my removed simply for the use of sprites.

This is like talking to brick walls.
It's against Deviantart Rules!
The rules are there for a good reason. Art sites have gotten into big legal trouble for not being careful about copyrights. I believe Elfwood got sued once by some author.

Jealous has nothing to do with it, but Artist Integrity does. They want their site to be an art site not an altered screencap site.

Agreed about the artist integrity part, but why discuss it here? The Deviantart forums would be a better place to do so, I think. I know you're looking for the screencaps, they are amongst Ryo's, Stream episode 11.

We're not brick walls...its just that this is such as small splash in a huge ocean...not many people would care for it...why you even posted the topic is beyond me...

Okay, You make half as much sense as you claim you do. If anyone was mad about screen caps to make legal LAWSUITS, they're would be no anime fansites...

But do they care? No! An art site cannot get in trouble by anime screen caps because they are everwhere! They WANT it to be everywhere! That's how they get more fans.

However, I do guess it's against the rules...but so what? It'll get removed eventually, anyway.

Why does it matter to you?

You've obviously never heard of this person before, and I'm sure if the DA people find it they'll do what they want. It's none of your buisness and the people at REO can't do a thing about it.

You're acting as if he raided the REO's fanart forum and started posting the pictures everywhere as his own.

All he did was take a screencap, crop it into a wallpaper size, and add a few effects. There are plenty of wallpapers and pictures out there that use screencaps and official art, and I don't see you complaining about those.

Oh no. I'm not talking about the obvious Mature censor over the picture. But all though naked Ladies on the URL

As if the person who made the graphic drew it herself.

Why you're assuming that this graphic is considered art theft, I have no clue, but you do realize that there are countless numbers of poorly modified screencaps on DeviantArt?

I have no clue whatsoever why you bothered to post this here, but this forum can't do crap to get the person to remove that screencap.

DeviantArt doesn't automatically register copyrights with any country's copyright office. Granted, any original work by any given artist would be considered their property, but the artist can explain whether or not it's their work and whether or not it's public domain.

All that aside, why do you care so much? You're not an animator that worked on that episode, the wallpaper is not your work, and you're not the one comitting the supposed crime. Don't give me that crap about artistic integrity, since the person that made that wallpaper didn't take it from his peers without permission and doesn't claim that the screencap is his own.

Edit: I reread your last post after you edited it. So let me get this straight: you made a whole argument over practically nothing for no better reason than to hope somebody sees through your pretense and gives you the original screencap? Geeze, could've you just asked?
