By posting the images of the supposed "stolen" art on your own blog to talk about it.. a blog might I add which IS MONETIZED. You are generating money from art that is not your own. You could write about your opinion and NOT include the art which is not your own. Heck you could even include links to where that art is posted.. but instead you steal art work with out permission from the artists, and then accuse other people of "Monetizing art that is not their own" which is literally exactly what YOU are DOING here on this very post. However you did not draw, paint, or do a damn thing. You just right click and STEAL their images.. and then create posts attacking them for "monetizing stolen art" all while you "MONETIZE STOLEN ART".
You are a hypocrite.
Its called fair use, as enforcer48 says, this is not a post who claims the art is made by the op, its an abuse report that under any concept of fair use can reasonably show both the plagiarized and the original artwork, what is being monetized here is not the art but the abuse report, the art is shown as supporting evidence.
Additionally, daio, yakubenko and any other art plagiarist that do not have permission to do derivative works of the original art cannot possibly claim copyright of the derivative work, that is only possible with the previous permission of the author, since they are in breach, they cannot claim rights to the derivative work, so nothing to worry about there, but thank you for your concern anyway.
They are being used as support for the investigative post.
Although, since you pointed it out. I do advise @jaguar.force, et al to let the authors they contacted know they plan on using their works as supportive evidence to the cases they are building.
This is to prevent any potential complications that may arise.
They are not law enforcement. The actual real police can use property, or copywritten materials for use in an investigation within the law, and they will NOT monetize 'said property/art' while "reporting on it". Regular people can not self police society, and then monetize the works of others, and call it policing/reporting. Than I can post anyone's art/photos and monetize it, with out their permission.. and call it reporting on their art. She can also "decline payout" and post. She is not legally allowed to "MONETIZE other peoples art" with out their permission. Regardless of "reporting". I can not play Ariana Grande's full song on here.. and then talk about if I like it or not and call it "reporting", and then generate rewards/steem/money from it. It is copywritten art/music that belongs to the artist. With out Grande's permission I CAN NOT POST HER ART. And I sure as hell can not monetize her art while "reporting" about it. And then cover my ass by calling the monetization of stolen art a "report". Heck let's upload the new Avengers movie.. I will monetize the post and pocket all the rewards from it.. and say a few paragraphs about the movie.. and call it my report. I guess no one will have a problem with it.. because I am "reporting" even if the movie company was never ASKED permission for me to do that.
You will just "justify" the bullshit actions of jaguar because you are a boot licking hypocrite like the rest of them.
In addition to that public smearing of people is slander and is called 'Libel' under the law. Until these people have a fair trial with REAL law and or police.. calling people thieves online to the whole world when they have not been given a fair trail in a proper 'court of law' could find the platform in a whole lot of trouble.
Defamation of character is a crime. You people are actually the criminals even if your intentions are in the best of places.. which I am sure they are not, as you monetize stolen art.
Moron.
