She has an anti-trump gif, let's kill her with fire!

LMFAO!
I couldnt care less about that tbh.

I just want it to stop or for them to ask for permission dont really want their account killed/censored.
:/

Maybe as the free internet content maker you should get used to it, and just deal with it?
I mean, everything you post in the public section becomes public and downloadable. I understand your concern, but it was public and next time do a watersign on your gifs - it's gonna make plagiarism of this require more time to reproduce and maybe a person just leave it alone, cause investing 4hr into it sounds not good.

So you will be ok if i take your original content without asking for permission and repost it to make money off of?
lol

I shouldnt have to ruin my art with a watermark especially if the people in power look the other way when plagiarism happens to some but not all. should musicians on steemit have to put a wisper tracks in all their music to make it harder to steal? also a watermark would do nothing as they shrunk the gif down to about a 5th the size of the original.

Seems like double standards that i have to abide by rules but others dont. I have had to defend myself from an actual plagiarist saying i dont make my own content (talk about a hastle) but when others use my content it goes silent up in steemit town. Guess i have to be an alt whale account to get away with breaking the rules up in here.
:/

Sure man, I understand your concerns, about plagiarism) Music is a different case - yours is graphic art, and you should think about how to make a pretty watermark - you are designer goddamn xD xD

I kind of see it as the same argument as the sampling argument in music.

in all honesty im kinda over it, next time i run into that ill just leave comments saying "oh wow, you used my gif im so honored."

i kicked some rocks and did some reading about art and copyright laws to the point that i now feel it was to small of a battle to spend time on.

Thanks for your comments and input, ill start looking into watermarks and stuff but honstly i prolly wont put one, i hate the way they look.

have a wonderful evening/day!
:D

Flagged for you :)

I hate flags, i wish there was another way to deal with it.

not to long, truth is if they would have asked i would have said no problem and use it but to see they started using it basically right after i posted it and have been for a while bothers me. or even say who made the gifs.
idk plaugrisim is suposidally such a big thing on this platform but doenst seem to matter unless it a whale or one of their pet dolphins getting copied.
lol
ill be over it soon if they stop.
:D

LOL
Im just going to laugh and keep my mouth shut b4 i get into trouble.
:D

Don't you think that's a little sad that you are complaining about a stupid gif that you have no copyrights for , come on dude i'm pretty sure their are alot more things to be worrying about in the world , like solving global warming or saving the forests .

I’ll tell ya what I think is sad 😂😂 taking your time to come on here and stand up for tits McGee. It’s only obvious you wrote this after seeing what skeptic pointed out on her post. Come on man, stop pussy riding and come to the realization that she’s really a 60 year old man posing as a female with big tits to get more upvotes. Unless you’re into that kinda of stuff then whatever floats your boat 👍🏻👏🏻

Stupid gif? If its so stupid then why are other people using it in their posts? Copyright a gif? Sounds like a loss of money to spend thousands of dollars to copyright something that only took me about 5-6 hours to make and only had an income of a couple bucks on.

Isnt there something about how the blockchain can be used as a copyright? oh yeah over looked that for this i guess.

Dont you think its sad your trying to white knight for some chick that wouldnt give you the time of day to tell you she has to wash her hair and is busy? lol yeah yeah i know, me talking about someone steeling my content is sad not you acting like a horny beta cuck thinking he might get a glance and a hi from a girl. LOL she didnt even say thank you for the resteem and comment. Thats how sad it is.

I take it from your comment, upvote, follow and resteem of the post that is using my content that you wont care that i take your work and repost it to make money from right? and your going to resteem it too and talk about how great it is? or is that only if im a chick you want to try to white knight for?

Just because of your ignorance in this comment i am going to go dump a spray paint can of arasol into the ozone and stomp over a couple saplings in the forest behind my house. cause you know, if i dont do that magically i will make money and have food and shelter. you know the things that actually have a reason to be worried about.
