I still think that the guy who dubbed DND's comic got unfair treatment. I mean, if someone dubbed a comic I made, I would be all like "Oh hey, that's pretty awesome".

Well was it bad? Was it some sort of parody lololololderpderpderp or was somebody actualy trying?
Inform me of the situation.

I think there was also the fact that the dubber was trying to pass off the comic as his own work, I think

The guy didn't credit me as the original author.

The dub got taken down the first time and the guy got to keep his account.

When he submitted it a second time regardless of my objections - again refusing to credit me AND insulting me directly - YouTube (not me) decided to close that account (note that I didn't ask YouTube to close his account - they were following their own rules and regulations).

Also note that there are other voiceovers of my comics on YouTube which I have left alone because those users have had decency to credit me.

I mean really, it's not difficult to credit the person who's work you're editing/dubbing - and it's common decency to acknowledge the person who's work you're borrowing, right?


Also the idiot in question has another secondary account that I am fully aware of, but he and his cronies/supporters lost a lot of their original accounts on numerous sites because they wouldn't let this go - and for some reason that escapes me they got it into their heads that they were the victims and had every right to insult me, threaten me, blah, blah, blah...

Honestly, if the original author doesn't want you to do something you don't do it - otherwise you get burned because the original author is the copyright holder, and no amount of bitching will change that; If people want internet fame they need to do their own original work - voiceovers are a lazy-booty cheap way of getting internet fame - especially for people who aren't prepared to credit the original authors of the work they are voicing.

The guy and a number of his supporters showed themselves up for the assclowns that they were when they started a backlash against me - some of them payed for it - but don't feel sorry for them - from what I experienced, they had no respect, no decency - and no responsibility when it came to using the internet.


So no, I'm sorry but don't want people voicing over my work.

Also, that whole fiasco knocked the whole webcomic thing on the head for me - I was already losing interest in doing funny webcomics but when I realised that people were more likely to be assholes than support the wishes of the original author I thought to myself "Well fuck this shit." - it was then that I focussed my attention over to my OC work.

So yeah, if you really feel sorry for the guy maybe you should also go and thank him for me not wanting to do webcomics anymore - he's a real fucking internet hero.

You might also want to thank him (and art thieves like him) for all the watermarks that my lawyers have advised me to put over my OC work and comic pages when I come around to submitting them - I'm sure that's going to enhance everybody's viewing pleasure.


[sar-cas-m]Thanks for bringing this up again, btw.[/sar-cas-m]

Wow really? They really do sound like a bunch of assclowns. But I suppose they got what was coming to them and it's their choice if they wanna waste their life feeling sorry for themselves.
Since.
Ya know.
The internet.
Tottaly serious buisness.
But really DND you shouldn't let a few bad experiences ruin the whole thing for you. No matter what you're always going to have some shit sniffer pissing on your parade, no matter what. Ya know?

In a way I'm glad it happened - it kicked me into fast-forward with my OC work.

I may not be able to make any real headway with that until the end of the year (in terms of submitting reference sheets and maybe even the first few pages), but this is going to be the thing that defines my life - not some funny webcomics.

I don't even mind if people draw pr0n of my OC characters - I'll be okay with that - so long as they credit me - and even if someone wants to try voicing over some of my OC comic pages on YouTube - I'll be okay with that - so long as they credit me...

...but if people wanna screw me around with my copyright they're gonna have to get ready to facebattle their balls goodbye - because I know copyright law - I know how to enforce it - and I will not be fucked around by people who don't respect it.


Sorry for being so vitriolic.

[Gryewolf]

Hey no need to apologize, it's a perfectly understandable reaction.

[Nachalnik]

I don't consider cats to be animals. That's a super lame thing to say but to me they're just as important as people.

[Gryewolf]

They're more important people than important people.

[Trygve]

Is that why you always complain to them when they don't buy any milk on the way home, you crazy cat lady you?

[Vax]

I'm a little too good at insulting people.

It's really really easy to insult people.

What's hard is compliments.

[Sleauxbreaux]

I decided recently to start complimenting people for no reason, whether I know them or not. It started with a very shy, very attractive girl working as a cashier at a store here. Made me realize I've lost my charm. So I've made it a personal goal to become charming again.

[Vax]

You always charm me breaux~

Man I love talking to people and being charmin and shit. It's fun to see people's reactions, and it's always appreciated I've found.

[Exeres]

I am not charming at all.

No one is surprised.

[Sleauxbreaux]

Oh, Vaxidd, you suave bastard. TAKE ME.

[Kira]

I am not charming at all.

No one is surprised.

As long as you have your wit.

[Exeres]

I am not charming at all.

No one is surprised.

As long as you have your wit.

But I'm not witty, either.

Oh god. I HAVE NOTHING.
