Anyway...moving back to Stealing Information.
~ Who has suffered from this? Anyone? Yay! We got one!!!
I have suffered from this, and still am a little. I don't know whether it's because I'm insanely original, or because people know my weekness....or both. But I have a major problem with it. People are CONSTANTLY stealing my ideas, and the way I program. Copying how I do something, and always putting something I said or did, and say THEY did it. Kinda makes you mad, right? Yea...so everyone out there.....START BEING ORIGINAL!!!!!!!
The biggest one is the way I draw. I have a very distinct style, (so all teachers have told me) and I should hold it dear to me, beacuse most artists haven't found their "inner style" and I have...without knowing. That being said, quite a few people have attempted to *see* my work, and then copy it...but it never turns out. They complain to me, and say it's.....yea. People steal my titles, my story ideas, my names, my desk top cover even! Needless to day: I'm sick of it. People get angry when I don't show them stuff...(You should see people's faces when I even mention Project: Black...it's kind of disgusting) And even when they DON'T know what it is....they STILL want to copy it. I have encountered 5 people in total who have ripped Project: Black from my hands and stolen things from me....without seeing it. (I won't say names, cuz quite a few have blogs) Meaning....titles are very similar, or they "won't tell me cuz it's a secret" or they look up a few things and copy the story very very very closely. Ugh...Well, one thing's for certain. They're going nowhere but in a circle. They'll never make it anywhere other then the school campas, and that's a fact. I've worked hard for where I am, and am still working hard. I don't need tag-alongs who want nothing more but to suck me dry. Soo....message....BE ORIGINAL!!!!!
(Art from devianart) Me ^
If this is about me, I'b been working on Subject Eleven WAY before I knew you were working on your Project; Black. plus, I've been doing Manga since I was eight. so hopefully, this is not aimed towards me. but if it is, Hope I cleared that up! (P.S. I Love this music! *dances around*)And hey! thanks for destroying my dream of being able to get somewhere! Careful there! (pouts) >:(
ReplyDeleteNo offense, but your not the first (your first sentences suggest otherwise) Your not the only one...in fact...your low on the list if there was one. I've had this problem for a very long time, and I have half a mind to shut myself in a box and never come out....unless copy-right comes a little closer. :)
ReplyDeletemy first sentances suggest otherwise?! I'm confused! AND I'M NOT COPYING YOU YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME!
ReplyDeleteheh, it's ok. If it ever gets to the point, you'll know. Cuz I'll tell you. But, personally, if you see someone doing something don't you have that competative feeling, like "I'll do something different, and make it my own" even if it means changing plans? Like what I've done to save some people in your situation?
