>>9422217that's intellectual theft, especially when you say "here is something original i've made" when you stole it from something else. adding trimmings doesn't change that. the implication of being a manga artist is that the work is entirely your own, drawing included, and by the fact that she was banned for being found it is an indication that she was indeed lying to the readers and publishers alike
if we follow your reasoning, the niggers that claim they invented everything are right because there are blacks that hold patents for variant designs of things, but that's total bullshit because it's clear they didn't invent it and don't deserve credit for their little changes. you can "use resources" when you credit who made the resource, you can't just take people's ideas and call them your own just because you got ahead
paying homage and using good things by other people is fine, but you credit other people for their work. acting like you deserve honors for another's work just because you succeeded with it and they didn't is how shitty people end up on top of everything
>If someone had beautiful code in a module but never got the whole system operating, and you took the code from that module and integrated that into your fully functional application, I mean, "tough shit" really.that is actually directly intellectual theft, and the original person can sue. they wouldn't even need to copyright it if they can prove their creation came first and was not public domain
so i can use euler's gcd algorithm or quake sqrt as much as i want and it's fine, but i saw someone's computer and took a procedure from his unworking idea and put it in mine? the law is on the other guy's side, as is decency. art is not different in this regard
