DO NOT put ......, or me, or a number eg 10, or no. You must put the name of the source of the original artwork or web site eg www.clipartopolis.com or if you got the clipart from a CD, look at the cover and find out who the artist is, or use the name of the CD. You cannot use digitized designs from clipart, photos or drawings of the net, even if you have copied them.
If it is from an original drawing by you, then please put your name on it.
I hope I have covered everything.
Meganne or Marji might like to add anything I have omitted.

Thanks, Ricky! I'm glad you clarified that, because it's important to know because of copyright laws, to keep us legal here.
And, just a reminder, since there are so many new people here, Designs by Cuties is a place to upload designs that YOU yourself have digitized. There seems to be a bit of confusion among some newbies, seeing all the 'thank you's' for being so generous and 'sharing' with us, that we can share designs done by other digitizers. Eeek. I know you guys work hard on your designs, and we're all grateful for your wonderful digitizing. I want to be clear to any newbies, Designs by Cuties are digitized by the Cuties, not copies of other people's work. It would be illegal to post any other digitizer's work there but your own. In order to post there, you MUST be the digitizer, and have permission to use the artwork. I hope I'm being clear, because I think a few people got the wrong impression. Or else just couldn't imagine we have all that talent among our own Cuties, which I think is pretty special! I just had a couple of questions from people wondering why nobody would 'share' Veronika's alphabet when all the people were 'sharing' in Designs by Cuties. Maybe we ought to come up with a less confusing word? This is hard enough to explain in English, let alone French, Dutch, German, Afrikaans, etc. Thanks for bearing with the explanation for the newbies, and thanks so much for all the time y'all take to digitize and upload your work! Hugs, Marji

Thanks Ricky. I was pretty ignorant and downlaoded from "Design By Cuties" without ever checking where the art work came from. I will pay a lot more attention to that in the future.

Thanks for writing this up, Ricky.
I do think there are many new members here who think the designs there are "shared" by Cuties, they don't realise they are DIGITISED by Cuties.
Perhaps Miss V should consider re-naming that section to Gifts Digitised by Cuties.
They aren't free, it costs us, sometimes, many hours work as well as the cost of the artwork so I think Freebies definitely doesn't apply.
Hugs n roses, Meganne

Well said. I haven't put up any of my designs because they are either not up the the standard I would expect to buy, or the artwork is copyrighted. I so wish I could draw. I hope to eventually get good enough to digitize some of my flower photos. Then it would be my "artwork."
Deb, you can subscribe to www.clipartopolis.com
www.designstitch.com
www.clipartoon.com
Then you can get their free clipart to legally digitize.

Hello dear cuties, I'm the one who writes down 10. But also have my own pictures drawn and digitized. They always call me 10 and 10 so that's why I entered. The next time I will fill 10tje because you know me as 10tje. I understand what you mean and I can understand that. But if I sign it myself so I use my own name.
do not get the wrong impression of me, please.
I know the rules.
greetings 10tje

Hi, I think most of us know your super work and know that it is an original of your own creation. The post is for those who have put up work and not put who it is by as it might not be their work. Please keep sharing your great work, I love it
Hello 10tje, I know you draw the designs yourself, it is only when you use a design from a digitizing page that you have to mention the name of the artwork.
Thank you, sweet cuties for your comments
I am not sure what you mean by digitizing page, Iris, but you need to acknowledge ALL artists. And that includes the ones I have mentioned above. Not all of us were aware that 10tje drew her own, and providing she didn't copy them from another source, she is fine doing what she has been doing.

I am bringing this back to the top because I noticed there are still some people not putting the owner of the artwork in "Original Artwork". This means the clip art used for digitizing, not the digitized design.

They might get the message if you send them a PM.
Yes, but this is good for all the newbies to see.
We can't stress the importance of this enough!!!
If you didn't draw it, buy it, or get it as a free gift from the original artist,
in other words,
if you don't have a "Licence" to use it,
then you MUST NOT use it to digitise from to sell or share with others!!!!!
You can be sued for theft of intellectual property, breach of copyright, even both!!
And ignorance, in the eyes of the law, is NO defence.
Hugs n roses, M

Sorry, aber ich weiß nicht, ob ich es richtig verstanden habe. Mein Englisch ist nicht so gut. Wenn ich ein Bild zu digitalisieren, dann habe ich auf die Quelle des ursprünglichen Bildes angeben. Z. B. aus einem Buch oder etwas ähnliches? Ist das richtig? Or can you say it in German?

Ja, Sie müssen den Namen der Person geben, von die Sie die Zeichnung erhalten haben, oder die Quelle,aber
Sie werden nicht erlaubt, eine Zeichnung von einem Buch zu kopieren. Das ist gegen Copyright.
Ich hoffe, dass mein Deutsch gut genug für Sie ist, zu verstehen.

Then I must let delete my bubble maker, because he was signed by me by hand (I can not remember from where was the picture)? I have painted on the wall from my son a long time ago. If I must do this, who can delete it?
The picture wasn't from a book. That I know. It was a picture from internet.
Sie müssen Veronika kontaktieren. Sie wird es für Sie löschen.
Who is Veronika?
Veronika OWNS this Website.

Hi mpo14011
I have another question about Orginal-Arwork or copyright. If I have designed and digitized a embroidery by my self, what I must write in column? My Name?

yes, as long as YOU have drawn the artwork from your own idea, it can NOT be something you have copied.
I hope this helps.

I have a very cute design for a Pamper, but it is a merged design from 3 different sources so...
I can not and will not upload it to DBC.

I know myself am still new to sharing my lace designs. And I create every design from scratch using my embird software. That is why I put my user name in the owner box. I don't like to copy other's work but enjoy when someone try something different with my designs.

I am bringing this to the top again as I think some people still don't understand they can't put their name after "Original Artwork" if they only digitised a drawing by someone else.
Please, if you are new to putting designs in Designs by Cuties, read the rules!!

Hi
what i have been trying to find the answer to, is it o.k. to digitize licensed work if it is only for your own use--you won't give it to someone else and you won't sell the item you made?

No, it is not.Not licensed artwork such as Disney, Super heroes, sports logos,cartoons etc.
Even legitimate, licensed designs from reputable websites are not allowed to be sold on items you make.

I don't want to sell anything. not the design, not the art, not the item i make with it.
I simply want to make it. NOTHING, NO part is to be sold or "shared".
My question pertained to personnal use only.

No you can't. If you did not purchase the license to digitise these, you can not even do so for personal use.
Copyrighted artwork you can, but not licensed ones.
