User blog:Silver-Haired Seireitou/Regarding Deviant Art, and many others

So, it has come to my attention that many users from Deviant Art (abbreviated DA) have been coming here to order some users remove images from their character pages, due to them being theirs. Now, of course, morally, you would remove the image when requested to.

Oh, I should mention, there is no way for me to write this blog without sounding like a jackass to those who see things differently, but I believe this should be stated because, let's face it, the simple truth is that there is a treasure load of images on DA that can be used for characters, on a website that has nothing to do with those DA users whatsoever. In my opinion, if we use their images on a website that is not associated with them whatsoever, so long as we don't seek profit or credit for them, why should it matter?

I, for one, wouldn't feel bad about it. I'm not claiming those images to be mine, nor am I trying to sell them. And subsequently, I think these DA users who come here b*tching out us being "uncreative" for using their images, which, as I will repeat, are on a website having nothing to do with any of them.

So, I've read up on a few simple fair use things, and I will quote it from wikipedia:
 * Fair use is a limitation and exception to the exclusive right granted by copyright law to the author of a creative work. In United States copyright law, fair use is a doctrine that permits limited use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission from the rights holders. Examples of fair use include commentary, criticism, news reporting, research, teaching, library archiving and scholarship. It provides for the legal, unlicensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another author's work under a four-factor balancing test. - Fair use on Wikipedia.

Subsequently, I will be making a fair use tag, similar to what Bleach wikia uses for their images, and all images from DA will be required to have those tags on them. This will allow for legal usage of those images.

Also, I don't plan on arguing this out, so I'd prefer if users do not start long-winded arguments against this. If it gets turned down by the current admins in charge, well that's it, but I'm not planning to argue this out. I've spoken with User:Achrones150 on it, and he seems to be on board, so... that's about all I have to say.
