[Rainwhisper]

From your admins, Frozeneye and Rainwhisper:

This thread has been rewritten to present a more accurate
and slightly friendlier warning.

---

All artwork on this site created by a Staff Member belongs
singularly to Woreor Catz. Any artwork on this site created
by a member belongs singularly to that member, but we
will hold responsibility to protect it. This is a warning to
anyone who, intentionally or unwittingly, selfishly uses,
unjustly circulates, poorly credits, or steals any work of art
that follows the policy below.

We cannot copyright © or register ® anything, so from
now on, all artwork must include the following:

1. The artist's signature placed visibly on the drawing.
2. The artist's initials somewhat hidden as part of
the drawing.

When we say an artist's "signature" or "initials", we mean
that of their member name. For example, Frozeneye's
signature would be "Frozeneye" in script, and his initials
would be "FE" (FrozenEye). The reason for the
signature is so that the artist has proof that the drawing is
theirs, and the initials are important because if a
plagiarizer PhotoShops the signature out of the artwork, the
initials will still be there because they're part of the
artwork. We do not have the power to protect artwork that
does not follow this policy.

We don't want to have any problems with possession rights,
so if we find a stolen work of art from this site, we will ask
the thief kindly to get rid of their copy. If they refuse, we
will ask again, and again, and if the issue gets too out of
hand we WILL consider a lawsuit. A lawsuit is the last
thing we would want, but if it is absolutely necessary, we
will not hesitate to start one.

So, to sum it up, any act of exploitation, illegal distribution,
improper citation, or plagiarism can ultimately result in a
lawsuit. We don't mean to scare you, but we WILL protect
our rights.
