	Yes, you wouldn't want the person who originally infringed on Darby Conley's copyright not to get the credit for it.... Who gets credit for what again? shakes head Damnit, Jim! It's an LJ icon, not the Mona Lisa. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspork33 2005-03-09 07:41 (link)
	True the orignal copyright goes to Darby, but someone spent the time and effort to make that icon. It's a generally accepted concept across lj in all icon communitys that you credit the maker of the icon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mbarrick 2005-03-09 07:59 (link)
	Yes, I am aware of the convention. It doesn't make it less silly. The, oh, two minutes it takes to cut-and-paste from someone else's work (maybe three if you want to animate the layers a couple layers)... I'll live if I never ever get "credit" for all my time and effort.... Really. I will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wow, and it looks like crap. You can look at it and tell that you spent thirty seconds on that. And no one would need to credit that cause it's definitely not worth taking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

now, if you had spent actual time and effort into making an icon look decent you would want credit. Alot of time and devotion is put in by serious icon makers learning different techniques and the art programs. Obviously a concept you would understand.

When a person puts in that time and effort they should be acknowledge for it. Most people seem to understand and respect that, seeing how the majority of people are more than willing to credit people for icons they've made.

It's just annoying, talentless people who haven't attempted to make an icon who thinks it's nothing more than copy and pasting who seem to have a problem with the silly concept.

	Yeah, you got me. Your logic, experience, talent, and understanding of copyright law simply cannot be argued with. Surely, icon making is a serious artform. How could I be so wrong? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I never once claimed copy right law. I said that generally people give credit to icon makers because it's the right thing to do. Seeing how the icon maker is the one who put the time and effort into making it.

And you spend twenty minutes working on one icon, blending 10 different layers and iamges to get the desired effect and tell me then it's not an artform. It may not be the highest form of art, nowhere near close to that. But it is art, in a way.

	Damnit, Jim! It's an LJ icon, not the Mona Lisa Thank you for making me giggle. Really. I needed it. So much so that I'm going to use this Fear&Loathing icon that I stole from somewhere aeons ago (see how it perfectly portrays the paranoid look of the icon-maker? Someone, somewhere is using one of his icons. UNCREDITED!). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No, really, the right thing to do is include a scan of your written permission from Terry Gilliam, the estate of Hunter S. Thompson, Johnny Depp, Fear and Loathing LLC, Rhino Films, Shark Productions, Summit Entertainment, Universal Pictures, and especially the "artist" that ripped and animated those half-dozen or so frames in every single post you make using the icon. Never ever use the icon with giving full credit to the icon artist involved. As a bare minimum every post and comment you make should include credit as demonstrated below.

	Yes! Can you imagine what a blissful paradise the world would be if everybody would adhere to that crediting policy? Closes his eyes I can see it now...

	and since some people are being kinda picky about this, i am going to save your icon, wait until you're not using it anymore, and then use it and give you credit all at once. it's nice to be polite. :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

you have a right to your opinion, but

killerspork33 has the right to ask someone to credit them for an icon they made. it's common internet etiquette. anyone on lj should know that. of course the image is not their personal property and of course not everyone is going to credit, but an icon maker has the right to ask that people credit them. i think you were fairly antagonistic with

killerspork33, and since i don't want any hostility in my community, i have to ask that you not provoke arguments when people make simple justified requests. i am already pissed off at

local81 for their comments, so please don't try to start anything else.
