Unless the portrait makers want to sue you, the technical meaning of fair use is not a factor in this.

Crystal has been trying to tell you that you're wrong, but you seem to be in this magical fairy-land in which you're never wrong about anything, even art theft, because fucking Shrek will die for your sins. She's been trying to spell it out for you but you can't hear her over your pride.

Dear Amino users. We're basically telling you that no matter what kind of rules you have over there, no matter how lazy you are, credit the fucking portraits mayhaps? Or piss off back to your own hellhole and make your own from scratch.

Get out, this was no invitation for you to pop on over here and argue that art theft is okay, this was for Fanon members to discuss how to deal with you people.

I wasn't arguing that art theft was okay. I also want to explain that people aren't stealing full portraits, but Amino users are using PORTRAIT PIECES and MAKING THEIR OWN PORTRAITS. There was never a point in time I was arguing that it was okay to steal full portraits. I have no idea where that came from.

Also, you say this isn't a courtroom, but you bring up the fact that people would sue me, which would take this to court. So that fact your trying to make kind of contradicts itself.

I'm just trying to prove a point as to why your complaints about the Amino and everything else was pointless. I was not working on a "Pride" fulfillment, nor am I in a "magical fairytail land".

I've just been bringing up facts. That's all. This entire controversy of art theft is pointless, because full portraits aren't even being taken from here. The parts are being used to make new portraits. End of story.
