Pirates Have Rights Too!

I'm willing to actually believe that, provided that said pirate is Johnny Depp as Captain Sparrow (such a hottie all dirtied up as a pirate- yummy).

But when it comes to stealing my stuff? No- I'm sorry, but you don't have any rights. Check this out: Scrap-Fanatics.

DO THE FACT THAT PAID DIGI COPS ARE HARRASSING EVERY SINGLE SCRAP MEMBER IN YAHOO OVER FREE KITS! THIS IS FREE KITS PEOPLE NOT PAID KITS.ALL OWNERS HAVE DONE THERE BEST TO FILTER OUT BUT ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THESE HARRASSING PEOPLE.

Oh, yippie. I'm a digi cop. Where's my badge? Not only am I a digi cop, I'm harassing these poor people. Owners filtering out? No. That's not good enough. Because all that they filter out are the kits of the people who complain to them- everything else is still 'fair game'.

THEY ALSO DONT WANT PSPERS TO MAKE SCRAPTAGS WITH ANY SCRAP EVEN IF THEY BUY THEIR KITS!! WHO ARE THEY TO TELL WHAT WE DO WITH OUT SCRAP KITS IF WE BUY IT...ITS OURS ISNT IT?

No- when you buy artwork, it isn't yours. This includes digital kits. If you want to make and hand out tags, then you need to get a commercial license. A commercial license will allow you to make your tags and hand them out in peace. Tags for personal use- ok. Tags for everyone else: not okay without a commercial license.

Oh- and read the terms. By reading them, you'd save yourselves a lot of time and quite possibly your groups. And the digi cops wouldn't have to 'harass' you for doing illegal stuff, in the first place.

THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FREE KITS ARE NOT FREE THEY ARE TO LURE PEOPLE INTO THEIR SITE TO BUY SOMETHING..WHA SOLICITORS WHAT CON ARTISTS..THEY ALL SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE ONLY OUT FOR MONEY. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT MAKING MONEY. AND HALF THERE CREATIONS ARE NO GOOD. THE ONLY REASON WHY THEY ARE GETTIN CUSTOMERS BECAUSE THE CUSTOMERS DONT KNOW THERE ARE ACTUALLY FREE SITES OUT THERE WHERE THEY CAN GET THE BEST KITS.

Yep- you caught us. We only give out free stuff to lure people to our sites. Boycott all you want- at least if you are boycotting, you're not sharing my stuff.

Oh- and if our stuff is 'no good', then why the hell are you sharing it??? This, I don't understand. You are willing to do something illegal for stuff that YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE? Mind boggling.

Can you share these free sites with the 'best' kits, please? I'd like to see where I'm going wrong. Maybe I'll just point my customers in their direction, because obviously my stuff is crap that isn't worthy of being pirated. (In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic.)

THERE ARE BETTER MORE TALENTED DIGI SCRAP DESIGNERS WHO DO THIS FOR THE PASSION FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF OTHERS THEY ARE NOT MONEY HUNGRY PEOPLE THEY WANT EVERYONE TO ENJOY WHAT THEY CREATE.

Digital design is my passion. I sell my designs because I'm a stay at home mom, and I'd feel guilty spending some of the money that my husband makes on the things that I really love- things that are related to my passion. Money hungry? Nope- not even close. I just want to make enough money to spend it on other kits, fonts, and computer hardware. That's it.

Someone who is passionate about this hobby is someone who is willing to take the time to learn how to do things, to learn how to make themselves better at it, is willing to take criticism. Got a problem with my designs? Bring it on!

I MYSELF AN BOYCOTTING ALL PAID SITES FOR THIS REASON

Yippie!

THEY ARE SENDING SPYS INTO YAHOO GROUPS "ENTRAMPING" PEOPLE TO DO SOMETHING WRONG SO THEY CAN RUN AND REPORT YOU. ISNT THAT ILLEGAL? ISNT HARRASSMENT ILLEGAL??
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE WITH THESE MONEY HUNGRY LYING PEOPLE..DONT GET SUCKED UP INTO THEIR OWN GLOREY AND DONT LET THEM SUCK UP YOUR MONEY EATHER!

Entrapment (no 'm', 'tramping' is a word, 'entramping' is not) is something that only a law enforcement official can do, and it only applies if the law enforcement officer has made you do something that you didn't want to do. Ask a lawyer- I'll wait.

Oh- and something else. GLORY. No 'e'. EITHER. The 'a' is an 'i'. You can spell harassment, but you can't spell something as simple as 'glory'?

Here are some links for you: Yahoo's Copyright Policy. Quoted from the policy:

It is Yahoo!’s policy, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who may infringe or repeatedly infringe the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of Yahoo! and/or others.

(which basically means- continue to share my kits and I have the legal right to shut you down).
and from Yahoo's Terms Of Service:

upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights ("Rights") of any party;

(like it or not, even free kits are copyrighted to the individual who created them. And since Yahoo's policy is to delete the accounts of copyright violaters, I still have the legal right to shut you down.)
And from my TOU, included in EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY KITS, free or not:

You may not offer any Tracey Lee/The DigiChick.com graphics on any website for download, send them through a list such as a news or Yahoo group or include them in
any graphics collection either on the internet or otherwise.

In other words- go ahead and contact your lawyer, attempt to file harassment charges against me. Think you'll win? Think again. You don't have a legal leg to stand on. Face it- what you are doing is ILLEGAL. Sue me? Try it. Let's see how fast I sue you for copyright infringment.

In other words: do not fuck with me.
