From the Copyright Policy:



What is Copyright Infringement?

To simplify this question, copyright infringement occurs when you do certain things with a creative work which someone else produced without first getting the proper permission.

Some examples of copyright infringement (this is only a partial listing) can include:

* Placing a photograph or creative work online without proper permission.
* Using a creative work commercially.
* Adapting a creative work of one medium to another, such as making a book into a movie or a photograph into a painting.
* Modifying or editing a creative work without proper permission.


How Can I Avoid Infringing on Someone's Copyright?

The best way to avoid infringing on the rights of another creative person is to use your skill, talent and imagination to create your own completely original work. When we use the word 'original' we don't mean that you must come up with an idea which hasn't been used before, when used in copyright matters "original" means that you created your work without referencing or
deliberately copying anyone else's work during the process.

Ensure that all parts of your work, both visual and audio, are your own original creations. If you have used materials which are owned by other people or companies make certain that you have obtained proper permission or licensing for the use before you place your work online.




From the Etiquette Policy:

Respect Your Fellow Artists

As a vibrant and growing art community deviantART welcomes all kinds of original artworks; but we MUST insist that the artwork which you submit be your own original works.

Your deviations must be your own original creations and you may only use resources which are considered legitimate and legal. Submissions which make use of works without proper permission or licensing by the original author will be removed as they come to the attention of the staff. This policy applies to all Deviation submissions, Scrapbook entries, and the preview images used for written submissions.

If you have reason to believe that a deviantART submission violates this policy you should use the official Report Violation link which is available on every submission page.





SERIOUSLY, admins.

Stop breaking your own policies.

Stop letting people get away with art theft.

i'm just wondering, but why is taking one medium of work and making that work in another medium copyright infringement? If i understand you correctly you are saying if i were to take a picture, and i were to paint that picture it would be copyright infringement?

just making sure i understand you, not trying to argue

It's talking about when you take someone else's work without their permission.

For example, someone tried to make a Harry Potter Encylopedia and publish it without J.K.Rowling's permission- that was copyright infringement. :)

Better now? :D Sorry, I read very fast, and since I already know what's on the stamp it's hard to tell if it's going too fast. ^^;

Ah, no, it's not, because you took the photo, and therefore, you have every right to paint it.

If you took the photo, and I painted it without getting permission from you first, I would be committing copyright infringement. :nod:
