So... Something happened today. I just found out that someone "stole" a content from my friend's channel and made a... rendition of it without crediting the original author. (Added with a poor grammar, it has raised hell from my friend's circle.)
At first, I encouraged a mass-report for this "stealer" channel... But after I consulted my other friend, who is experienced with the ban- and report-hammer, I was told that we couldn't win the case. It's because my friend's channel is public, means the content is meant to be spread and if you want an ownership right... Well, we gotta get fundamental rights for it. I honestly don't really understand copyright administration shit.
The thing that makes me feel bad, is... That the girl who "stolen" my friend's content might just agree to give my friend some credit if only we talked nicely to her. But no, we threated and mass-reported her instead. (The private channel seems to mainly focus on music covers and poems, btw.)
Don't get me wrong, tho, I'd be angry if someone claims that they are the author of my writings as well. But... I realize that we artists should also be aware of these... "Game rules" of contents ownership.
... Still, guys. I'd warn you again, to at least give a credit to an artist when you use their works -- be it a drawing, writing, music, video, animation... Making them is a hardwork -- each of them are like our child as we give birth to them through labor. Even better is, when you first contact the original artist when you want to use their art, asking for their permission whether they're okay with it or not.
Last thing -- it'd be great if you could spread the words and raise awareness among arts lovers :3
