I did once post a picture of me wearing one of my favorite shirts in one of the post-a-pic topics a long time ago. Came to regret it, now I never post my face on dS ever again.

somePerson took a number of people's pictures from the topic (including mine) and used them in some meme video without asking anyone if they were ok with it. Didn't expect any real punishment for it, but Mods didn't even give a slap on the wrist or a "please don't in the future" and instead just told those of us who'd had our pictures used that it was our own fault for posting pictures to begin with and sP was completely justified in using them as a result.

"Yeah, it's your fault that he bullied you because you let him bully you"

I mean, what kind of ***** excuse is that?

No matter what, nobody should just grab random photos and throw them out for everyone and their Mothers and Fathers to see.

What would happen if some ****head went to the Post a picture of yourself topic and took random photos and put them into a video on youtube, is it the people who posted the picture's fault for posting the pictures in the first place?

He wasn't "bullying" him, though. :/ He made the meme for several users with absolutely no malicious intent whatsoever, and literally no one else complained. If you're that sensative to something as trivial as that, that's a you problem, not SP's.



Oh

The way Seiki described it, I thought it was some huge forum scandal or something

I don't have a problem with SP, he's a great user(or she) I just think he should actually get other's permission to post photos on the internet, and I hope he learned that lesson.

To defuse the situation a little bit and explain the situation that I was able to gather:

Seiki posted a picture of himself in the selfie topic. Because it was the holiday season, somePerson took the faces of those who posted their pics in the topic and used them in those annual elf dancing videos that people typically do with pictures of their family and friends. He did this with a bunch of pictures, so nothing was specifically targeted. It was all in good fun, and the majority of the people found it light-hearted and humorous.

However, Seiki had a problem with it because somePerson used it without permission. While that is a good reason to get upset, the reason why sP didn't get punished is because darkSpyro doesn't have any rules or guidelines when it comes to image sharing and use. Because it was a photo taken and posted by the person in it, it doesn't technically break any privacy laws for sP to use it in a publicly approved video that is even used as advertisement.

If you want to follow copyright rules, sP legally is still in the right, because he uses it as a parody. Again, his intent wasn't to "bully" or target anyone, I think he just wanted to use the silly elf dancing program that is family friendly but requires photos.

I do understand that there was no malintent on his part and don't hold a real grudge over him for it or anything. It just served as a lesson to be more careful what I post when it was like the only time I'd ever actually posted a picture of myself and was originally kinda nervous about doing so in the first place.

Yeah bro, I totally understand. I still don't think that you should avoid posting pictures of yourself all together - love yourself! Show the world how beautiful you are! Here's an idea: in the future, put a disclaimer with your photos. Say something like "please don't use my photo without permission," so that way this doesn't happen again.

I was not aware of this.

Technically, it's legal. But in any case, it's an ethically horrible thing to do on an Internet forum. somePerson should be Ripto'd. There is no reason he should still be here.

My gut tells me this is illegal, but let me look it up first to be sure. None of you can sue, of course (unless you registered your photo as copyright)

Using someone's image or likeness without their permission is a slippery slope ethically and legally. Sure, it wasn't offensive and he didn't mean anything by it, but since they let it slide, what's stopping anyone else from doing it maliciously?


The mods should be ashamed of themselves for using that dumbass argument. You can't hold someone responsible for someone else's actions.

You're missing the point.

The precedent has been set that this sort of thing is okay and will not only be tolerated, but those who oppose it will be shouted down. That's a bad precedent.

No....the logic that was used is still not the same...

There's still a big difference between excusing rape because someone was wearing an outfit, which is a SUBJECTIVE SENTENCE, to posting a picture of yourself on the internet and having it be used on a harmless video simply because they were unaware of internet photo sharing laws.

This is not a moral or political issue. This is an ethical and legal issue.

This is not my usual philosophical or ideological stuff, there are real, tangible consequences for doing things like this.

somePerson, someone could've very well attempted to sue you for this. They would've lost, of course, but this sort of thing can be a big deal. Don't downplay it.

Yeah it kind of depends on what you use the picture on but I still would not compare it to sexual assault or rape. But considering the selfie and photographs are more around public domain than copyrighted material, ya can't really do a lot about it.

Regardless, you shouldn't have compared the two at all. It shows how much you'll reach to make a "point", when there's absolutely no point to be made in the first place. :/

As someone who has been sexually assaulted myself (More than once, if I must add), the fact that you compared the two, regardless of what "logic" you saw in it, honestly disgusts me.
I lost a lot of respect for you after last night, but now I think I have next to none. :/

Not to derail this topic even further, but Metallo didn't compare sexual assault with using someone's picture without their permission at all?
I don't agree with the point he made as I don't see what someperson did as a big deal, but he's not equating it to assault. Chill out.

On the actual topic, I haven't posted any selfies here but weirdly enough most of the selfies I've taken are in comfy clothes. Usually whatever I'm wearing to bed.
