Re: Updated Rules for Images and Art on Echoes
This seems like a sensible way to balance doing things the way we always have, protecting the rights of artists, and covering our host’s butt.
I will confess that many of my “original character” builds are created by getting an original idea for a character, building it, and then poking around on Google Image Search until I find something I like... and I very rarely ever pay attention to the original artist. This is a bad habit and I’ll try to stop.

Re: Updated Rules for Images and Art on Echoes
That's much the same with me. I'll try my best to use sources whenwver I can, and to avoid art that I can't.
Or maybe I should just start doing my own art for characters again.

Am I dead? Am I alive? The answer may surprise you!

Let's hope. If Ares say's no, i won't use 'em
Re: Updated Rules for Images and Art on Echoes
What kind of account do you have with them? Is it a site where you have to pay per image or you pay a subscription to get access to the images? Do you have to pay extra to host them on a website?

Re: Updated Rules for Images and Art on Echoes
It does all come down to the Alamy terms of service and terms of sale.
Re: Updated Rules for Images and Art on Echoes
No account, it's a site used mostly by HS Papers & Small Businesses to pick up those "Generic Scientist in labcoat" image stuff, and as far as i know it's all free so long as you can see the Alamy name.

Re: Updated Rules for Images and Art on Echoes
The rules for posting another persons artwork are fair and reasonable. In the past I had not done that but will credit the artist going forward. Do the same rules apply for photos of actors or actresses posted with character builds?

Re: Updated Rules for Images and Art on Echoes
Most actor photographs have a copyright holder: the photographer. And if it comes from a movie screen cap, then the owner of the movie is the copyright holder.CaptainChaos wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 6:04 pm The rules for posting another persons artwork are fair and reasonable.

Re: Updated Rules for Images and Art on Echoes
Generally speaking, most actors and films have enough popularity that citation is unnecessary, much like Marvel or DC. However, if the actor, photographer or film company contacts you to ask for citation or removal, respect their request.CaptainChaos wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 6:04 pm The rules for posting another persons artwork are fair and reasonable.
