Enough is Enough
Hey guys! I'm a siggy maker here at IF and a member of the AviSiggy Chat Club, and I'm very disappointed in our fellow members here at IF. One of our dearest & sweetest members, Jenny a.k.a IBSerenity is leaving IF and you know why?
Because of copying! It's not only sad, but it's also a matter to think about, because not only is it a sensitive issue to STEAL someone ELSE'S work, it's also a matter of integrity. Sure, we're just members of a website right?
NO! it's about us, as people..look guys, all I'm saying is
Respect others. Siggy-making is DEFINITELY not easy and I'm not just saying that. I'm being bold enough to say that my original creations were crap and here's one of 'em [which isn't as bad as others]..btw, u can go ahead and laugh, but think about this: at least i was thinking of this stuff on my own!

Copying is just unfair to the original creator and to those that admire your creation! Sure you'll get a few sweet comments from someone, but in the end..the truth is still the same-you COPIED!!
Inspiration on the other hand is different, it's when you CREDIT the original creator and you make sure the world knows about it, or at least those here on IF. But don't stop there, I wanna know what you guys think.
What is copying after all?
What is inspiration?
Lastly, please guys, for the sake of others, think before you do something as degrading as stealing their work..yes..stealing, not just "copying" or getting ideas

i'm kind of confused - is copying bad?
when i say copying i'm not meaning
stealing another persons creation and
saying that it's mine, but copying some
ideas from other sig and avi makers
@ india-forums. For example, i started
making video avatars and i have to say
that the frames outside the video was
NOT my idea, but the frames are made
by me - it's just the frame idea!! can
this be said as copying?

stealing and taking credits for someone
else is work is WRONG no matter what!!

thamizhan, i love your honesty and i guess that's wut i meant originally by inspiration versus copying
i guess what you did can be called inspiration b/c u were INSPIRED by someone else's design. As long as you mention that u r inspired by that person [who u got ur idea from] in ur shop or something, it is totally legal!
but see..that's my opinion. once again, this whole copying issue is really delicate!

Seriously guys, im with you!..

I've seen quite a few people who cut my creations out, and add stuff to them..e.g. prc creations. But i don't say anything although i notice it. 😭 But after time it has stoped happening with me.

I spend alot of time making the requests, e.g. hours and hours, because im slow sig maker and beleive to try my best..and i hate it when people copy my work.. as in cut my creations out, and put their own copyright on it.


Msg to anybody who does this:

Please guys, it takes a lot of time for sig makers to make siggys. to effecting, to cuting pics, to adding text, to finding brushes, everything takes alot of time. Its not just as easy as it is for you to copy..

IBSerenity Please don't leave, some people do this kind of things, but you can't loose your spirt.. we love your creations! So what if that one person done this, what about all of the others, who truly love your creations. Please don't leave 😭
