Re: I just need to vent a bit.

You mean the copyrighted material you've chopped and changed?

Srly?

Get some self awareness, and be glad people are sharing something you've made that's entertained them.

I bet you think art theft is cool too

Re: I just need to vent a bit.

It's not like OP is asking for money, they are asking for a reblog, which I don't think is unreasonable considering they put work into making those gifs. This is not about who owns the copyright, it's about fandom courtesy.

Being "glad people are sharing something you made" is not an argument I like hearing either because it's an argument used for straight up art theft.

Why hullo there, unapologetic asshole re-poster.

Re: I just need to vent a bit.

if we're gonna play that game, then most of tumblr should be taken down for copyright infringement; they are, after all, distributing a shitload of copyrighted material without the authors' permission

everyone reblogging or reposting those gifs? redistributing and reproducing material without permission

same with the videos

a lot of youtube videos too

warner bros could force everyone to stop writing harry potter fanfiction, what with the characters, locations, etc. being trademarked

a lot of users here would get in trouble for their icons of edited copyrighted material

and so on and so forth

also the

"be glad people are sharing something you've made that's entertained them."

reminds me of what people reposting art in various sites without permission respond to the original authors when they ask to remove them (which is within their legal rights as they own the copyright the moment they created that, say, drawing) something like:

"why are you complaining, I'm getting you free publicity!"

omg you are one of those persons, aren't you

you are the reason DMCA and all those ridiculous DRM protections exist

thank you

(except not really)

you are why we can't have nice things

That's not really a good comparison. When someone makes a graphic or gif, they're generally not claiming that they made the original photo/video. Just like I'm not claiming to be Christopher Nolan when I write an Inception fic. Even if there's no disclaimer, it's pretty obvious that it's a fanwork. And it's usually "marketed" toward fans of the original.

Posting someone else's fanworks without attribution can give the impression that the poster made them if they aren't upfront about it. Even if they are honest about the art not being theirs, it can be neigh impossible to figure out who made the original graphic without some serious digging.

There's also a difference between creating a fanwork of something, and distributing something that someone else made.
