>>7646525 (OP)
Because they could get sued for copyright retard.

reminder if you trace you WILL get caught by autists

>>7646557
I DON'T CARE CALL THE COPS

Tracing to learn how to draw something or draw in a certain artstyle is based and you should do it. Tracing to blatantly copy someone else’s homework is cringe.
>Reddit spacing
Oh what am I saying? You faggots aren’t gonna draw and would rather crab on here until the heat death of the universe.

This is one of the most petty cases of someone getting fired for this I've ever heard of.

I don't know how copyright works in Japan and China(lol) but this would most likely be fine in the US. Possibly they just did it to avoid having to fight it, even if they're right it still costs money. And there might be a contract clause against doing this which he may violated. Contract clauses are often more restrictive than the law, to cover their own ass for the edge cases where an infringing situation might occur. Like using a recognizable trademark rather than something that's at the level of collage work.

I swear all these fucking companies are run by weasels who just accept the existence of lawfare. (I know it's because they want the ability to hammer others for petty bullshit, but still...)

Copyright over textures is one of the most baffling things yet the courts took them seriously.

>>7646557
Not if you prooompt yourself and trace over your own prooooompt

meanwhile openai claims that their models must ingest a trillion illustrations a second or china will win.

>>7646557
>get caught by autists
Genuinely who the fuck cares besides the autists? Is the FBI gonna raid me over some gay digital textures?

>>7647066
>getting fired for stealing assets from a copyrighted franchise for you own copyrighted franchise is now "petty"
>taking ASSETS from a COPYRIGHTED work and reusing them for YOUR OWN COPYRIGHTED WORK
>YEAH WHY DONT COMPANY JUST LET OTHER COMPANY STEAL COPYRIGHTED WORKS AND LOSE THE COPYRIGHT?!?!? FUCKING WEASELS
>HEHE I DK HOW SHIT WORKS BUT IT WOULD BE FINE IN THE US
when will you ignorant zoomers learn to ever shut the fuck up?
goddamnn you don't know shit about anything and you just keep vomiting
yeah yeah now say how you were pretending to be a faggot just to get attention and how everyone else is mad

Your president really should send you to any war simply to die
You absolute inbred mutt

>>7647287
apparently the employer cares and will fire you, retard
>heh actually, I'm u employed

Well an author just got caught tracing artwork and copyrighted material recently which led to his series being axed. fags were defending the author by saying the same thing as well. This is expected from retarded non-artist/fags that don't know how the world works, but most of the shitters here have the same sentiment as well...

>>7647362
That author traced something that's very, very obvious. Which is anothet special kind of stupid

>>7647091
I could swear there was a fairly recent legal kerfuffle over videogame textures where the texture was from a woman's photography book about European architecture or something - so it's not purely an Asian thing as >>7647066 was thinking.
(can't for the life of me recall what game it was, though it was a big one.)

>>7646525 (OP)
can u take a smaller screenshot I can still see something

>>7646525 (OP)
wtf, niggers are getting fired over shapes? LOL. If that is the case, iphone should have won when they sue samsung for copying the rectangular rounded edge shape of smartphone. Oh wait. Apple lost? Cenm0 can sue for wrongful firing.

He should've traced over AI desu

>It's another "I don't understand the difference between copyright and trademark law" retard
Go back to jerking off, it's more productive than talking about things you don't understand.

>>7647859
It's probably most likely a contract problem because companies are risk averse as all hell. They will sue each other into the ground even if they know they'll lose just to play a game of legal chicken and force a settlement, which they almost always take because the people on the boards of directors oftentimes have their fingers in MULTIPLE pies and so don't want the legal needle to move at all.
TSR was famous for suing random competitors within the RPG field, and the ones that ACTUALLY went to completion they lost. People with law degrees have looked back on the cases and they were almost always ridiculous claims that just ended up fucking over people because of the fees to defend themselves. Shit's broken as fuck.

But again I have no idea how the nuances of IP law work in Japan. China I assume is just whoever sucks CCP dick the hardest, but if Capcom tried to sue for this it I am pretty sure it would not be handled by Chinese courts.

This is the future

>>7648777
>companies are risk averse as all hell
yep that's most likely the case US or not
Jeff Koons vs. Andrea Blanch shows that these things are considered fair use in the US.

I don't trace but some of my shit is referenced from bizarre fetish porn and I hope no one makes the connection

>>7646557
I trace over photographs taken by other people to practice perspective. Is that bad?

>>7649171
and these are the people called other schizo
i mean, not even me, myself and my other 69 personalities know about transformative work

There is no amount of copyright or trademarks around pictures of something as common or vague as a banana
>but the devs take pic of their fanbase that they deliberately give them and put them in the game

But yes Anon, apples are actually oranges... well in this case they are banana
good post
Why you aren't CEO of videogames copyright is beyond me
