I feel rather guilty over the whole "OMG THE SITE IS GONNA GET SHUT DOWN!!!" thing... I never saw it mentioned until I brought up the fact that a DMCA report could get filed, which would mean that CS would have 24 hours to either replace or remove the images, and then suddenly I started to see people flip a table and say CS would get shut down (which I'm pretty sure isn't true >.> ).

I wasn't blowing things out of proportion (I said what I said based on what happened on another site I go on; it was exactly that and nothing more--the site staff had 24 hours to either replace or remove the image. Exactly like that!), but I still feel guilty...

-exhales breath- There, I finally got that out.

I think I fed that as well... Not sure how, but I think I did. Or maybe I said that it wouldn't do that. *Shrugs*
I wouldn't feel bad though, nickjr. It's pretty obvious that if you worded it like that that it wouldn't have closed the site.
And yes, I can PM you the link.

Everything did get exaggerated, no doubt. But I have to say nickjr, I do not remember anything rude to crazy coming from you. You made some good points, tried to keep things civilized, and even threw a joke in at times. ^^

The hysteris was due to the fact that we have young kids on the site who believed dmca reports ment that the site would get taken down instead of looking for the truth yhese youngsters made others believe yhats what was gonna happen somewhere along the lines those words got twisted into yhe hysteria that happened.

Or, here's another reason:
Because the people -some, not all, some were very nice- for it were incredibly rude and basically said you were stupid for liking a stolen lineart. I was insulted for it, so were others. Visual-wise, I prefer the old lines. Legal-wise, I prefer the regular lines. Even with that outlook I was still put down, and so were others. Since there's nothing we can do anymore we just stopped.
(I don't want to start a fight so I won't go into any more detail.)

I've saved all of the pictures, and some other users and I are making a website to display them on, so when we get that done we could always PM you.

If the photographer doesn't want the pictures on a site -I don't know if they do or don't- couldn't the site your making get shut down because the images are still traced?

True, except I started seeing some of the more mature members believing the site would get shut down, and that baffled me since I believed some of them to be older than me, seeing as how I'm not old enough to go to college yet and I saw some of them mentioning things about having to go to work (in other threads, of course)...

Someone else could probably answer this in more detail but I will answer based on what I know.

If the photographer wanted to file a report, they could request that the images (not the site) be replaced or removed pending further investigation. However, the "tracing' happend three years ago and nothing has come out of it to date except accusations/arguments within CS and Tumblr.

Even Tess admitted that the biggest reason for replacing the images is in order to hold the artists to the same standard regarding art theft as CS holds its users.
(and likely to prevent further damage to CS's reputation)

So I guess the answer is that something "could' possibly happen but really is not likely because CS has had these images for years without incident.

If the photographer did not make a move when they appeared on CS, then why would he bother making a move against some little side site for someone's viewing enjoyment? We would not be creating anymore pets. Plus, the number of viewers/users would be miniscule compared to CS. It would not make much sense.

all of that looks so cool

Nice changes

[Sapphirescript]

my question is, when people were told they retired the old lines and EM quit leaving the new artist to step up to the plate everybody was happy. Claiming that they liked to the new lines much better and stuff like that. But everybody gets upset when they want to update the old lines?

Either way I wonder how long this topic is going to stay open.
