deviantMAG Issue 03 Unleashed At Long Last in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Just to make something clear to anyone who might not be familiar with deviantMAG, DM is deviantART, Inc.'s official webzine. It is free to the public from the deviantMAG website, linked below. A PDF version of Issue 03 (as there was for Issue 02) will be coming soon. Regarding the tragic delays of this issue, let me tell you a story. It is the story of a staff who had difficulty meeting the original deadline for an issue. Since the deadline then had to be pushed back, we ran into a majo

i never once mentioned distribution of derivative work. do not attempt to mangle my words in to something that they are not, in an attempt to further your cause. think about it bakerstreet. ANYONE can create derivative works of something. you could do it to ANYTHING without permission at all. do you realize how absurd it would be if one had to obtain permission each and every time they wanted to merely create a derivative work of something? Q: How much do <

bakerstreet: deviantART places a copyright statement underneath each deviation simply because that is a small form of protection. granted, people that do not care will not bother with it and still rip regardless of the "(c) 2002 blah" being there or not. the fact is that we did that in an attempt to help thwart ripping. merely because we add that there does not mean that the image is in fact, legally speaking, copyright to that individual. copyright law obviously takes precedence over our simpl

now i must laugh. not once have i called you a name or been rude. i've merely been engaging in a healthy debate with you. now all of a sudden, with your back to the wall, you resort to petty name calling? you say that you dont like the DA message boards because of this very thing that you just did here. tsk tsk tsk. hypocritical, wouldn't you say? anyhow...i never referred to anything regarding claiming copyright of a work. in fact, most of the individuals submitting to deviantart, who

the problem is not change nor policy. like i said, the admins dont visit every section of the site every day therefore we cant catch every violation every day. again, as i said, realitysquared is doing the majority of the policing of the various sections having already run all through the anime section on one occasion. the statement i made that you take offense to is the simple truth. if someone is so concerned about it then help out somehow. sitting back and offering up armchair quarte

bakerstreet: you say that by making an assumption that we see every submission to the site or peruse every section of the site on a daily basis. we have other issues that need handling as well as this issue. if you are going to attempt to compare deviantART to some type of profit-from-illegal-content scenario then you are completely mistaken. do not try to spread FUD with nifty catch phrases and words that scare everyone away from P2P today. furthermore, do you honestly think t

bakerstreet: "deviantART now has 5 individuals assigned to policy violations. This means that they take the reports they receive from the community and act on those *as well as browsing through various sections and removing what are blatant policy violations*." realitysquared, above and beyond the others, does this on a daily basis. to sit there and say that we are not actively working to rectify the problem is completely and utterly untrue. maybe you should have a ch

>That's where we differ. Yes, DA is an "art community", and >there's a lot of amazing stuff created by incredibily >talented people. But not everyone's an artist because >they can click "upload". deviantART is not only a community for talented artists but for people that are learning to become artists; people who have a slight idea how to use a cool but have not perfected the use of it so that they can create their complete artistic vision. with that in mind, the reason we

this kind of reasonable discussion could very well have taken place on deviantART if you had approached it in a far different manner. had you posted an intelligent thread on DA then you would not have been flamed but would have had a reasonable discussion with a bit of interference here and there (cant help that). deviantART is *NOT* concerned with quantity over quality. We choose not to moderate, as a standard policy, because we are an art community. We do, however, remove well over 3
