Fanart/Fake stealing

Well we all know by now someone in the fanart section stole some fanart and fakes...

Its a bit out of order it happened in the first place. Everyone gave good marks to ScorpZero and it turns out everything he posted was stolen.

I'm not gonna ask ScorpZero be banned or anything... I think he has been humiliated enough now everyone knows the truth. We can't stop this happening again but I'm asking if there can be a -Karma for people who do it or something else we can do when they are found out.
 
I'm fairly certain he's been banned. I think he made a topic that said "Eff you and Eff you and Eff this and Eff that" to many people who, after they found out he stole the work, critisized him. I think it was mostly directed at The_Sim, and he locked it, and I assume deleted it. And have you realized he has like -54 Karma?
 
Yeah I noticed that 5 mins ago when I looked at his profile to see if he put a homepage up or something on his details.

-54... Wow mods you had fun with him didn't you? :lol:
 
good call on this lol, steal art/fakes is stupied im books, glad to see this come up. Haha yeah he went a bit crazy after i showed up, dunno why he went like that he could of just accepted that someone found out.

-Foot
 
I don't believe his writing is his own now... Can someone check out his MK:Arm story one? I've tried Googling phrases from it but nothing came up. O.o'

If it came from a site like fanfiction.com, you won't find it via Google and thats the trouble.
 
I don't think any of it was his. I mean, if he exploded like that, I doubt he made anything. He was just pist he was caught. I'll try googling it though, see if I find anything.

It'd have to be on a non-mainstream fanfic place, like that one Sub-Zero drawing was. Has anyone heard of that wood-elf place?
 
Elf-wood?

I have a gallery on it. :wink:

Last I posted there was 4 years ago. Its a fantasy/sci-fi art website for artist, much like Deviantart. Crap one at that... I waited one month to get a gallery and then each of my picture took 4 days - one month to go through. The mods check EVERY picture that goes up... So if your like pictures are entry no.2,000 on their list... You get the idea what happens.
 
Damn, Angel. I think you were right with the fanfiction.net site. I copied this directly from the google search, and it seems like its the same story.

The trouble is, none of the links or even the site are working :(
 
Fanfiction must be down right now... Maybe try it in 24 hours time. I have a account on this site too so I know about stuff on this site.

http://www.trmk.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8404597 - This is the one I'm intereasted in the most. This story was really good and I'd like to find out if he stole this one. I'd like to find the real owner if so and congrulate him. Because this story was great! :)
 
Yeah. That's probably another fanfic he stole. The thing is, I have no idea where to find that since the search would have to be rather vague, and when I tried, most of what I get is gamestop and such. The rest are MK:Arm sites. Not fanfics.
 
dude, scorpzero was making threats like,"ill kill your family" and posting porn and such, im pretty sure he'sbanned for life, anyway when foot conftonted him with the print screen pics, he really started getting defensive and hostile, but with all the eff you subjects he created im sure he wanted to get banned.this all went on like 3:00 in the morning.
 
that sucks for him and that was kinda weird for him to have all those great works,I think they were a little to great
 
Wow, considering he stole both his drawings and his fakes...it does make me seriously consider the authenticity of his fanfiction...it's very strange that he would accept comments and what-not on stuff that wasn't his...then totally do a 180 personality-wise and start flaming indescriminately...things just don't add up.
 
Am I the only one who feels that stealing "Fan Art/Fakes" of the Mortal Kombat nature, such as the stuff you guys post on this site, just isn't enough to get banned?

Seems like a weak case to me. Yeah. He is stealing art and that is rather sad, but it just doesn't seem like a bannable offense. It's just fan art. Internet sites do this constantly.

So he gets nailed in your books as an art stealer and a joke ... but banned?

You guys do take that stuff about 100x more serious than I do though. I honestly don't even look at that stuff. It's suprising to see the Fan Art section is almost as big as the General Topic forum, though. That's pretty amazing.
 
woah his karma fell down the pooper! nice maintenance, boys! now hes a supervillain. kinda meltin like the Wicked Witch of teh West
 
Yea, you are the only one who thinks that way I'm afraid. And he was not banned simply for his art stealing. He was banned for his unending profanity and flaming in response to people saying it was not his work (which it has been proved it is not).

Adding on to Glam, he also posted some not nice things, and directly called the mods out talking about murder. I think that's slightly ban worthy.

Yes. That is ban worthy. I wasn't aware he did any of that - just aware that he stole art and called it his own. I guess threatening to kill someone could get you a ban ... but then again if you really believe he is capable or serious of doing that then your rather gullable. I can't count how many times I've had someone claim to want to kill me, beat me up, or own me in a game, message board, or chat room in my years online.

Stealing fanart can have dire effects on the owner... It can make them think twice about doing some...

I witness as a anime fan the rage of a group of Japanese artists who had their work stolen by English speaking people... The result, none of them will do fanart ever again. Its not right and its not fair.

If only he had just admitted it and said sorry though.. Maybe he wouldn't got banned.
 
Stealing artwork isn't nice. Cause you are getting credited for other peoples work. Eric Baumin (ebaumsworld.com) he make a living out of making other peoples artwork his own and getting money for it. This stealing thing has got to stop cause it's babyish and annoying for anybody that has to read these arguments. So please make your artwork your own and dont take somebody elses

If you disagree with me. Which you probably will. I dont mind thats just my view on things
