Anywho, TWO things.
First, I am moving from this account to the one where I host all my art. I was keeping this one since I love all the kpop blogs I follow here but I’ve gradually started to do the same on the other one so….yeah.
I will follow back ALL my followers from this account http://5437713.tumblr.com/ which is also going through a bit of revamp but bear with me.
SECONDLY, I have now jumped into affiliate program marketing. Yeah, my eyes glassed over initially too. But it can really be a good way to make some extra money and I’m on a steady goal right now for Christmas shopping and Black Friday. So the program I’m working with right now is Motor Club of America. I settled on this one because you have to be a member of the service in order to get the referral commissions (no product storage and minimum sales and stuff like that). I like this because the service is actually useful to me (I don’t drive but they have non-driver benefits included) so I won’t have a problem referring it to someone else. Bottom line, you turn your $40 into $80 for every person you refer and it’s paid to you weekly. FYI you do get that 1099 at the end of the year for commissions totaled over $600. FYI part 2, THIS IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR RESIDENTS OF USA AND CANADA.
So get on this people and become a member through my affiliate link. Even if you don’t refer it you get a solid service. More details are here at my page my sister is trying to put together for me (I need to learn this website stuff myself, I know butshe’ssosmartandhandyandnice ;_____;) : http://befree360.com/motor-club-of-america-a-better-way-of-living/
If you have questions just let me know via ask box. I’m the teaching type so I’ll be sure to walk anyone through if they need the help.
Side note: I’m itching to draw BAP fanart now due to all you fans posting pics of them. I have no idea of their music though. I’ve been trying in vain not to get interested in them. What have you ppl done to me?
So….I’ll try to sum up what’s happening here. In 2008, I designed and modeled a robot girl for a college assignment. I posted them on DeviantArt as I always do, and since then I’ve gotten quite a few people asking if they can model it as well. I always tell them sure, as long as I’m credited with the design. I failed to put my name/info on the image though, so it has been spread around the internet and some people have modeled it without my permission (just for the record you don’t have to sign something for it to be protected by copyright). They usually find out who made it later and gladly credit me. So I don’t mind!
Until someone tries to sell it.
Fast forward from 2008 to now. I find out that someone has been selling a model of my design on Turbosquid since March of this year, and it has made thousands of dollars in profit. I’m naturally very upset about this, so I report the infringement to Turbosquid. At first they seemed fairly courteous, but then I wake up today and find them basically asking me to let him keep selling the model as long as he credits me. Are you kidding? After making thousands of dollars? Note that Turbosquid takes a 60% commission of profits by default, so they likely made even more money than the seller did from my design.
They tried to appeal to pity by talking about how hard he worked on creating the model from my design. HI! I DID THAT TOO!
I just can’t believe Turbosquid is taking the side of the infringer and trying to ignore the fact that they both made thousands of dollars off my IP without my permission. The minimum amount of money made is $2,481.00. I base that on how many reviews the model had, which you can only do if you buy it. However, this doesn’t include any purchases made that weren’t given reviews.
I think it goes without saying that the profits belong to me. It is not right for a guy in another country to steal my design and make thousands from it while I struggle to make ends meet. I have never made a penny off of that character design. To think that Turbosquid considers it fair for me to make nothing off my design while they made thousands is just unbelievable.
PLEASE reblog this. I am an amateur artist. I am not famous. I spent $130,000 to go to art college and haven’t found a full-time job since. My only job is the freelance I do from home. I am not Disney. I can’t afford to have my designs stolen for profit. I am hopeful that with enough exposure of this, Turbosquid will suddenly find the ethics they dropped on the floor somewhere. If this can happen to me, it can happen to you.
Hell yes reblog! If he wants to use a design he needs to consider licensing on YOUR terms PLUS all reimbursement for its prior unauthorized usage. Let me find out who else I can get on this issue. Ugh.
Snort. Gotta get one of these before my nieces’ next visit.
AAARARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! Does anyone, ANYONE, play this little Korean bejeweled-knockoff game called ANIPAN?!
I only have my sis as a friend on it AND I NEED MORE HEARTSSSSSSSSS PRECIOUSSSSSSS.
Please….please…..*breaks down*
