Since WHEN was it OK to take a chop that someone else did and incorporate it into your own??? Granted, if you give someone permission to do so, that's one thing. But to outright take something that you worked on for quite a while and just incorporate it into your own chop...that's not cool. And THEN to put it over a crappy background?!?!? No matter how much "props" you give me, if you're gonna steal my chop, at least have the decency to ASK beforehand...and use it just as well if not better than I.

Case in point:

I must admit, I saw that Pharaoh, and wondered if you were asked, its one thing to copy an idea, but to steal the actual idea, hmmmmm no basically

I mean, it's one thing to copy/imitate someone else's style...That's different. But to just take someone else's work (or part of it) and use it as your own???

That's just wrong.

AMEN!

I agree, its not cool what-so-ever. in fact its very very uncool. taking images, as in photos, from Google and incoporating them into your chop is one thing, but actually taking a chop and using it for your own... entirely different story and thats pretty much cheating/stealing.

I know this isnt the only instance of this happening here @ PSC. but I cannot remember the actuall parties involved.

pharaoh, I live in chicago, I could send some cement shoes your way if you need em

That's OK Shaman...I live in the South...and I get get a "vex/root/curse" put on someone really quickly!

And where IS Frankie to defend himself???
Wait...there is no defense...

well ive got friends, thats all I'm gonna say
just say the word my friend.....

Or, you could just pm a mod and notify them. It would be easier and save us readers of this useless crap reading.

what about this billtvs win...



and this cheap copy???

Well...on second thought...

Oh sure arcaico, I could do that...but then it wouldn't piss you off nearly as much would it?

Twice parts of my chops have been stolen too. It's frustrating. It seems to happen when I do the big clean ups.

So I guess the only proper thing to do at this point would ne to chop Frankie Fla?...or arcaico, just because!

It IS against the rules of psc to do this. The entry has been deleted. Please let a mod know when you see this happen.

The FAQ clearly states:
Q: Why was my entry removed from the contest?
A: Moderators remove images that either do not show up properly or are not within the acceptable boundaries of this web site. Also, you may not use someone's else's work from the same contest in your own entry. Entries will be removed for this reason as well. Do not get upset or take it personally as we are just trying our best to keep the site fun for all age groups. If the image is intentionally crude enough in nature further actions will be taken. Let's just keep it clean and have fun!

Thanks Stephen!!!

now... wouldn´t it just be easier to PM A MOD INSTEAD OF CREATING A THREAD FOR THAT???

JC!!!!
