Small Rant #04 - Certain Someone pt.2

Yes, law is law. Base on “the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988” came into force on 1 August 1989. The act does not make specific provisions for commissioned works, which means that copyright remains with the artist who created the work, unless a written agreement assigns copyright to someone else. You can read more at: https://www.dacs.org.uk/knowledge-base/factsheets/commissioned-works Also the law of "17 U.S. Code § 204. Execution of transfers of copyright ownership", if there is no mention of transferring copyright between the artist and client, all the rights will belong to the artist. Furthermore, the copyright laws/rules on these websites has legal effects. This is a service, you only paying the artist to draw, not paying for the ownership. This isn't a word-play, but literally how it works with all other artists as well, why else people will ask me regarding the price on Private or Commercial commission? The artist is not your employee, he does not work for you. This is just how art commission works. You can believe what you want, let’s just stop this convo here.

Exactly!! this guy is seriously annoying o(-`д´- ｡) Thank you so much for understanding me...

Under the Law, a commission is a commission ... paid is paid. Continue to ignore the warning and keep word-playing ... this is my last time "piss you off" , I am done. Take care.

First off, there is a difference between public commission, private commission and commercial commission. A normal commission is a BUYER buying the service for the artist to draw something the BUYER wants to see. But if you want to own the artwork so the artist lose the ownership, then you have to pay extra to make it a private commission in order to make it personal. Then if you are planning on merchandise the artwork you will have to pay another fee in order to do that. If simply giving a small sum of money, then you can own it, sell it, and make tons of profit of it, then this is very unfair to the artist, and basically indirectly killing the artist. Furthermore, these info are actually given by another pro artist when I first start doing commission. I asked her on what is the difference between a standard and a private commission, and this was her reply. On freelance websites like Fiverr and Freelancer, they include extra options for signing over rights if the seller so desires. On Fiverr it's a verbal agreement and on Freelancer they actually make you sign a contract. And on Skeb, the site clearly started all rights of the artwork belongs to the creator. If taking verbal prove in account, from the second of this client say he give up the ownership of this parasite set, he no longer owns it. Either way, I already showed him the terms when he was considering the commission, so when he paid he basically agreed to my terms and service. And since he never paid for a private commission service, I have full right to use the artwork in any way I want. And finally, this will not get worst because he backed off, and said he will not bother me ever again already. Also, "International Commercial Law" doesn't apply for art.

Like I told you long-ago ... under the "International Commercial Law" , the BUYER owns the artwork which the BUYER paid the "commission fee" . As a friend, I warn you this over-n-over these years ... but you ignored and didn't care. You did the same with my commissions, and just "word-played" can called those are not "commissions" ( under the law, what is PAID is a Commission ) ... but also as a friend ( and because "as a friend" ) , I tolerated your actions on me; however, like I warned you over-n-over ... other costumers will not tolerate. This will actually get worse, more so when you listen to those telling you "it's okay" ( when it is not, and this is very serious ) ... you have to approach that former-client of yours, and solve this problem on both sides ( or it will turn much-much-more ugly ) .

He's nothing more than a spoiled little shit; who'd probably jay-walk across a highway and then blame the drivers for not trying to avoid/watch out for him crossing it. (I.E Refuses responsibility let alone have a brain).

(ﾒﾟ皿ﾟ)yep... annoying degen indeed..

I already blocked him, but this is him directly attacking me on Twitter and my facebook art page instead, so I was forced to deal with this guy (；￣Д￣） The parasite set on pixiv is everything I drew for him, but in low resolution of course, since last time when I sell the 80% scale JPG version of parasite pack, he went nut and curse me for the whole day... but I never promised him anything regarding the uncensored version, since I post uncensored all the time anyway... sigh =3=

Sad thing is... I actually did block him, both facebook and pixiv. But this time, he calls me out on Twitter and my facebook page, tagging my name brought me to daylight, so I was forced to deal with this guy (；￣Д￣） Despite I really dont want to waste any more time on him, I feel like I really need to defend myself since he is making up fake stories to condemn me... It is such a annoying situation... hopefully it should be over now TwT

Ugh, that fucker again? Yes, as other suggested, next time just block him. It's just harassment at this point. Also I wasn't aware that was the published parasite set. I thought it was another set that you shelved when he went nuts.

Yea lets not waste out time on that degenerate. we have much better things to do. XD

Schn

At this point just block him and leave him. Don't waste your time on entitled drama queens like him.

(๑･`▱´･๑)EXACTLY!

IKR! and he goes on about how he worked with 20 other artist and I am the only bad person... Meanwhile I done 100+ commissions and he is the ONLY bad customer!｡゜(｀Д´)゜｡ Ya I really hope I dont have to bother with this guy ever again....

Ikr! thank you for understanding me on this （；へ：）

there is no point in trying to argue with a guy who is so delusional !

Corporal Tommy

What an asshole, actually calling him an asshole would be an insult to assholes. You are in right in this one and remember we have your back in this. And glad you got that off your chest. Better out than in.

Druže

So unbelievable that this guy keeps showing his ugly head, I still remember the last post about this! That said, we've always got your back, chief. Hope he really is done for good, he really seems like a pain to deal with.
