Today I have been participating in a few of the contests here on DigitalPoint and I really am amazed at some people's entries. I won't name names but I am seeing certain people continually post work which includes copyrighted material. I am taking about copying and pasting clipart, images found from Google and even cartoon characters! Contest holders actually fall for it too and it really does concern me. What do other people think about this? - Matt
I agree with you ... i've seen a lot of logos with copyrighted images . I don't know if they know that it's illegal ... but they have to make their own designs .
i think they're not serious designer.. just have fun... that's why they not aware about copyrighted materials..
When you see this, you should either post a link to the original image in the thread or PM the contest holder. I am sure they would love to know since they can easily get sued if they actually use the stolen garbage.
