Disturbing Findings...

[Ascension]

He should probably do what I do...I just download and save things to my hard drive in a folder called "Cool Stuff". I put everything in there that is a cool image, funny picture, interesting story, etc. That way I offend no one and claim no credit but can look at the stuff whenever I want. If he's using his dad's pc then he could just save the images to a cd for inspiration.

I think the main thing rubbing people wrong was the title of his account...using the word "by" implies authorship. If he had instead used something like "Cool pics I found on the net" then he's not implying that he made them.

I know that is what he does, and in fact he never took any claim.

Its not up there anymore, but it said, in the first line, "Here are some really cool maps I got from the Cartographer's Guild"

He said hes really sorry and will be deleting his account.

Personally I wouldn't be surprised to find other collections like this...
Putting things on the internet has a way of spreading them around, and I'm ok wit that. I'm all for fair use. I think nothing should be copyrighted except for commercial use (I won't discuss or argue this subject here) That's my personal opinion, but hey I'm swedish, look at what we have going on in our court right now.
Taking credit for someone elses work is another thing thou. Always credit the author.
Invite the poor kid to the guild and make him collect all the maps in the finished map forum in an on site gallery with proper credits as a way of making amends!

BTW: where would the tutorials be and how do you start a thread?

[IngIngsvar]

I guess ill also tell him not to delete his account

Yeah, get him on here. He can say a quick sorry and then were all chummy again and we can make some maps.

I bet his intro post gets a post or twenty...

When creating a new post, use the paper-clip icon to attach images.

Once images are attached to the post, you can insert thumbnails in the body of the post by using the paperclip icon to insert attachments.

Any attachments not inserted in the body of the post will appear at the end of the post.

Press go advanced, sroll down a bit and push the 'mangage attachments' button
A window will pop up. There are some restrictions on file size...

My friend, IngIngsvar is letting me use his account.

I am sorry, cartographers.

I never took any credit, there was never a sentence saying "Pictures by Seyon".

I am sorry.

I am making a compilation, you can go to it here (http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...1414#post51414).
