Chryiss Then can we use the arts on internet or not

What if we use it and remove it when we are about sign a contract. I mean we didn't use his work to earn money right

    ReincarnatedSaint Good question. Some art, whether or not it’s used for commercial purpose, still cannot be used. It all depends on what the artist set the copyright as. You can search for images on Google, for instance, and set the usage settings to reuse with modification, non-commercial, commercial, etc. Some artists will say directly from the source whether or not it’s copyrighted. Usually, if there’s a watermark, you shouldn’t use it as that often indicates ownership. With that said, most of the time, if you modify the image so that it’s unrecognizable from the original, then you’re okay. Regardless, it’s always a risk to use someone else’s work, and it doesn’t depend simply on whether you use an image for commercial or non-commercial use.

    It’s good habit to use royalty free or commercial use images from specific free image websites like pixbay. That site has high quality images. For more ‘artsy’ images such as characters, there are character design websites (kinda like a dress up game) where the artist allows you to use the final character you created. Sometimes, they specify it for avatar use only, or non-commercial only.

      I got hacked on my twitter by a fellow user on Webnovel. Do people genuinely think this kind of thing is OK to do? He basically hacked into my account, just so he could make sure I followed him.

      No offense, but that's kind of stalkerish if you ask me.

      Is there a way to prevent this sort of thing on here? ( I reported his account of course. )

        SarahWeaver6 Someone today told me the same thing happened to her!!! I was so worried to just imagine people going to such lengths. It seems it is a trend nowadays. People are so insecure and their doubts have a way to degenerate. I mean, stalkers always existed. However, with the internet, we have given stalkers a whole new means of trying to control our lives. Think about it, back in the days, they actually had to commit to stalking someone in real life. And obviously, that demanded as much organization as it was dangerous. You could easily get caught. But nowadays, you just learn a few hacking tricks off of YouTube or somewhere and you can access the most intimate information about someone's life.

        So scary! I hope nothing of importance (personal info) was to be found on your Twitter. I hope Webnovel does something about this!!!

          Ahh, schools on spring break here (Easter Break), and I've finally caught up with grading papers.

          No more skype calls for a week. Admist taking my kids for a daily walk I might even find some time to write again.

            SarahWeaver6 Yikes, that’s something else. Crazy for sure! Good to see you back though! (: Hope that hacker-stalker got put in their place :x

            StenDuring Nice! And oof, skype calls... webex...zoom... google meets... heck I dislike them all now because of quarantine! bleckk, online courses, my bane =_=

            Have a good break with your family and writing!

              This is why everyone should use password generators secured with a strong password sentence only they know, stay away from unknown sites, don't download stuff outside official sources, and stop letting other people use your devices. And the most important thing: Use 2 Factor Authentication everywhere it is available. It might seem like a hassle in the beginning, but the pros outweigh the cons.

              On a better note: I finished page 28 or so of the graphic novel version. Only doing traditional for right now, mostly because I can't afford a drawing tablet.

                Today, someone told me one of my story arcs had somewhat did a rather accurate predictions on the current issues that happened these few weeks, and I have absolutely no idea about that when I wrote that arc happened ago, now I read it again, the similarity and accuracy are so scary...

                I feel that this is not the first time this kind of thing had happened, maybe I'm actually writing a book of prophecy... Haha.

                  AI380 When you fully awaken your Prediction Superpower, you have to help me predict my future. :pray: Please!

                  Chryiss advantage of WN's author popularity? She doesn't even know a world called WN exist😅.
                  My friend is was a blogger! But she was a lil popular tho! Yeah, when i think about it again n again it seems more interesting! I actually end up defending both the sides as a two-sided lawyer😅

                  Tomorrow, I'll officially write a finish for TMS.
                  The end chapters won't be released until Saturday. After I've rearranged the table of contents. It'll give me time to perform last minute edits and checks before I close doors on the book.

                    Just found out the use of auxiliary volume, if it's for chapters that are not related to the main chapters, then I have a whole pile of them that I don't know where should I upload them... Hehehe... The door to the new world had opened.😈

                    a certain author needs to change her friend or help her friend improve. i'm pissed off.

                      brooding as usual v.v and slightly annoyed

                        I have successfully played myself and now I am trapped between a rock and a hard place (figuratively).

                            Lol, everyone’s on edge 😅 Totally relatable~ this quarantine is making me—

                            On another note, I getting used to it a bit more. But it was, still is, an acclimating process. Trying to not go insane from being cooped up haha~ Stay strong everyone!

                              Chryiss I've been chasing my cat around my living room for entertainment. nothing stir crazy going on here.

                              Reposting this here too in case it can help or inspire anyone like it did for me.

                              Attached are my “3 am” thoughts after I stumbled upon these two videos geared towards encouraging creatives, but you can skip that and jump to the links at the bottom. :p


                              “This isn’t necessarily a writing tip specifically, but I’ve come to a bit of an epiphany with this. It can be interpreted and applied to almost anything. And now, I can put some kind of name or explanation to my feelings as of late and generally in the past. I didn’t think I needed this. But we can get pushed unexpectedly in the smallest, most ordinary ways. And like everyday heroes, we sometimes depend on these small pushes to keep us going, as reminders, consolation, encouragement, understanding, pause. In a sense, that’s why the lack of social interaction may feel unsettling, or the break in what we’re used to; we now have to face ourselves more closely and constantly. Okay, this went on longer than I intended. I guess I feel very self-reflective right now and want to muse for a spell to get these thoughts and pondering out while the feelings of clarity through the clouds are most vivid. “

                              Thus, due to these videos, I probably will be even less active as I currently am in order to give this theory a shot. Who knows, maybe not. We’ll see.

                              Hope you all have a beautiful life wherever you can find, create, or imagine that beauty~ take care, be happy, live well~

                                ... my neighbour nearly burned my house down today, he wanted to get rid of the weed in his garden, now it is gone, but so is my burned down garden and one of the outer walls and part of the roof got torched, the water, the fire department used to extinguish the fire, leaked from the roof into my bedroom ...
                                I can't reach the property manager and am for nearly two hours on hold on the phone ...
                                Happy Easter! 🍀🤗

                                  Qchen Oh dang, that’s not a good happening for Easter or any day 😥 Hope it works out for you, and you get compensation from your neighbor’s negligence.... quarantine makes people do unnecessary stuff like setting fire to weeds it seems... 😓

                                    What did i do today? I washed the floor with bleach. It took me 1 hour to wipe with alcohol all the products that I bought in the store. Then it took another 20 minutes to wash the vegetables in soda and vinegar. Then 30 minutes to prepare a diet lunch. 30 minutes to wash the dishes. Order delivery of water so that it arrives after 4 days at 3 a.m. damn it, as this coronavirus already got it ... water is limited to no more than 20 liters.

                                    I don’t want to read the news at all, there’s some kind of dull information with this new virus.

                                    for two days now it’s not possible to write anything.

                                    even no ideas yet.

                                      5 days later

                                      Whew~ another school week over. Just a few more to go, and I’m done. 😰 But just because it’ll be the weekend, it doesn’t mean I can slack off. My weekends are even busier with multiple class project meetings and job work among other things. Barely hanging on, but I’ll make it out alive! xd Anyone else in the same shoes? haha~

                                      And now this whole spirity award contests going on.... hm this’ll be interesting.

                                        Today I ate ice cream sandwich for breakfast and lunch.

                                          Chryiss Is it an online class or an ordinary one? Since in my country, all school's are closed and graduations are all canceled.

                                            Chryiss Where the heck have you been girl?! Welp. Seriously, I hope things start to wind down for you. My days are picking up now that I'm no longer a freeloading NEET.
