TS4 Sims & Modeling Chat Thread

@chellemh29 I don't mean any offense or accusation in that rant of mine. So no I didn't make false accusations, because it does happen. Theft does happen in the community and some experienced editors, models, professionals can easily spot out something that was stolen. I understand that there are hundreds of thousands but I was just talking about the integrity and hard work these artists put into their pieces and people (AND I'm talking like, 2012-2016, many different people; NOT JUST people right now) on this site start claiming things they have no credit for. I just wanted our new editors or models or people just starting out to keep in mind what things you are taking from the internet. I know it means nothing to people and my rant was exaggerated or useless but it was something important to me that I wanted people in this community to be aware of. This community, this modeling community is indeed small-scale compared to selling art or blasting it on another site claiming every bit is yours; I wouldn't have addressed it here if this community wasn't important to me. I was EXACTLY the same, I used copyrighted images, artwork, stocks, drawn backgrounds that dont belong to me and I never once credited the artist, I never said "oh yes that background was drawn by ___ she is so talented!" I guess it's just me looking back at how terribly selfish I was when I was here a while ago, I was horribly conceited and unoriginal and I stole from people's ideas rather than generating my own, creating my own background, etc. From one model to another I just wanted to let people know about this, no matter the importance or scale of the situation.

@Jendowoz0612 Yeah it only becomes a legal issue if you start selling/making profit. I doubt anyone does that here but yeah I just wanted people to know the extent to go to with taking backgrounds, stocks, hairs, etc. from the internet and just appreciate the original artist beforehand if that makes any sense.
