Plagiarism at Steemit
When someone steals my ideas, I have 2 reactions. First I get furious and then flattered for obviously having done something right. Well. This time I did not get flattered at all. This is the most disgusting theft I have seen.
Have a look;
https://steemit.com/contest/@nomadicsoul/started-and-couldn-t-stop
Then compare it to my original work:
https://steemit.com/art/@funkit/logo-sketch-take-2
@nomadicsoul obviously has no shame when it comes to stealing. No attempt to attribute the original work(s) whatsoever.
And no consent from me whatsoever.
I have reported it to @steemcleaners and if there is anyone with a sliver of respect for original content, go tell her just that.
@berniesanders where are you when there is need for a little shakeup?
Post script: it seems she has deleted what belongs to me.
Ok, this is the third time I've said this, but maybe you haven't seen it yet because you're upset. That's understandable.
I did give credit by linking the original post right at the beginning of the post by saying " I took what they said in this post here about what they liked so far, and then tried to play around with that so that they'd have a final product that they're happy with."
What I meant was, translation, I took what they said about the logos by @funkit @yusamon @ambarabby and played around with it.
So right at the beginning, I said that I took work combined it to make something else.
But since that wasn't clear enough, as is brought to my attention by your reaction, I went back and updated it to make it even more clear because I didn't want there to be any confusion or a misunderstanding. So I have tagged you all in it to make it abundantly clear because my intention is not to steal.
I am not a thief.
A lot of times, things are just a miscommunication and if you seek to understand first, or talk to the person who has upset you, you can create a resolution without trying to start a war in an emotional reaction. All you had to do was say something to me and I immediately fixed the situation.
There really is no need "for a little shakeup." I'm not sure why that would ever be needed if you can go directly to the person who harmed you to solve a problem and seek to understand. Because that just spreads negativity and starts wars and what good is there in that?
Most things can be solved if each party seeks to understand the other first. I understand you, you feel stolen from. I apologize for that. That was not my intent. I hope you understand that and I have fixed it now in a way that makes you feel better.
I would never upset someone intentionally.
I'm sure it's clear by now, but sometimes I don't explain myself well (case in point, I thought the credit was clear enough to suffice, and it wasn't). So, here's what I said to you in the comment on my page and I'll say it again:
Truthproductions said they wanted a combination of your eye, in combo with the other blue text. I simply took their feedback and put what they said they liked together in a different way.
So that's what I did. I listened and combined and made slightly different. I've designed logos for people in the past (my own ideas) but that's always my main thing is to listen to what the end user wants, because at the end of the day, the most important thing is that they have a logo they're 100% happy with and are going to use.
You're still given credit. Look on their page too, they say "this logo inspired by @yusaymon and @funkit." At least I think you're mentioned in there, too. I'll update it to make sure that's extra clear in the post as well.
I would never steal an idea. I was trying to listen to their feedback and then use that information to give them something they'd be happy with.
I have plenty of ideas floating around in my head. Too many actually. Don't worry, I would never steal. I couldn't sleep at night if I did. And I would never risk my integrity that way or reputation. Integrity is everything.
Updated to make sure it's clearly in my post instead of just a link. I was actually thinking about that before but then got distracted and forget to put it.
I apologize for not making that more clear, I know feeling like you are being stolen from is a horrible feeling!
You can take your sorry ass excuse and go delete what you stole from me. NOW. Neither you or Truthproduction had anything to do with my representation. If they wanted something else, they better start paying instead of letting the copycats lose.
And I do not ever want to see you again.
