DA to BAN FANART Coming soon to Your Gallery!

Sun Oct 12, 2008, 7:23 PM
With the wonderful insult slapped at Fanartists and with FanArtists taking a stand against the slander.. DA has deemed This Slander is the Truth and any cases against it will be considered Harrassment.

"Furthermore, the CEO of DA also sent out a site-wide notice that states staff members can be rude to any individual member they so choose because they’re artistic geniuses and therefore have passions that run high." Remember this.. because FanArtists ARE not Artists...

But.. yep! ALL FANART - anything copyrighted - is NOW in the works to be BANNED! ... and they are using this Slanderous Act as their grounds of Justification. What will happen by the end of this year.. One can only shudder!

Not surprised. But anyway, banning fanart? I highly doubt it. Fanart makes up a good chunk of the revenue of this site. A part of me wants it to happen though, so money can go to a new site that doesn't treat its customers like shit.

Don't subscribe, and block all their ads. That's all I can say.

yeah, i'm letting my sub run out and not renewing. when the time comes (and i have an income) i'm going to that other happy site that likes us, PD!

artistic geniuses still need to function in the real world. if they go to an art gallery and mouth off to one of the executives there, it's not going to be the moody artist, it's going to be the unemployed not shown in my gallery artist. that's the problem with a lot of people today, no one knows the proper way to hold a debate and when they get called on the foot stomping, it's because they are misunderstood. yeah, because they are acting like they are in diapers.

Not a surprise... wonder how long it will be before Fan Fics and anything to do with Fandomes are banned from this site. As pointed out, a number of people with subscriptions do fan art, etc. Wonder what will happen if they ban us all and a good hunk of their revenue goes with it? Who knows.

I heard about this. Bunch of twits. It's high time that other sites got the dollars that we've lavished upon this shit-green bucket censorship.

You wrote the rules to try to contain me.
You broke them. Now, you've untamed me.
:iconsolkatt:
wont be much left on dA if fanart is banned

especially since many peoples "original art" is "based" upon fanart, how will they do with characters like (out of nowhere) "sailor rose" or oc-comics titled (another one out of nowhere)"inu moon", it could be anything, from close copies to total different things with names from something more known
Really
How whill they be able to make a straight line berween whats fanart and whats not?

How do you keep yourself so updated? It's good watching your journal, gives me a little perspective too^^

This isn't true is it? Man what is the world coming to? Threatening people with these things.

"I love you, Kagome."

"Inuyasha, stop saying things out of character."

"Sorry, some author put words in my mouth again."
:iconinuhanyou:
With the way he Hates FanArt.. I can see him pushing for it and getting his way. It's very hate to reason with fanatics who won't listen or accept they can be wrong.

Do they actually know how money comes from FanArtists... right now I don't think they really do.

Ah.... but according to what they answered ONLY DA Staff are the only Real Artistic Geniuses here on this site (and their followers of course) everyone else is being DramaQueens and Childish.

They completely pooped on their own TOS:

"You may not post hate propaganda or libelous or defamatory information in your journal."

from Their Etiquette Rules:

"In addition we ask that our members avoid making offensive remarks based on gender or sexual preference and that you do not make any remark, comment or critique which is intended to be a direct insult to an individual, group, or genre of artwork."
