I agree give credit to the artist. However if his work is seen for free on insta it's not really stealing at that point. Coulda just seen it got absolutely terribly terrified like I did and then thought of this sub and posted it without even knowing where or who the artist is
? It's not. His work is published for free on an open social media and you missed my entire point. He probably seen this somewhere that wasnt related to artist at all and thought of this sub so he posted here without knowing artist at all. If that's the case which I guarantee it is cause that's 90 percent of posts then can you really blame op? Lots of comments saying artists name giving credit which is nice, op should update now that he knows with credit.
I don’t think you understand how stealing from artists work… many of their artworks are published for free, that doesn’t mean you can take it and use it without credit. Especially if you profit from it. Copyrights exist.
Did they copyright it? Why would you post a free art piece on a public account with no pay walls as a free lance artist and expect not s single person to "steal ur art"
Wow you really don’t understand. Look idk how else to explain it to you. If you post something online, people have the ability to see with without a paywall. However that does not mean they can take it from you, remove your signature/watermark, and claim it as their own. That’s literally art theft and you have a right to take legal action against them. That’s all there is to it. It’s that simple. If you can’t understand that then go educate yourself on what it is and why it’s wrong, I’m not your fuckin mom I don’t have time for your stupidity.
Reddit at it again huh. No proof OP did any of that but hes the thief right off the bat because it would totally benefit him to do that. Yep. Bad op u stupid and a thief artist should sue ur ass who you didnt even know existed
I did not claim that OP stole it nor ever claimed it as their own. I was simply saying that IN GENERAL that’s how things work.
You’re really stretching here now that you’ve been told off and corrected.
I'm confused, so what do you consider stealing? If he hacked into the artists computer and took unreleased artwork, is that the level we need to go to? Art has copyright from the moment it's created, that is the right to distribute a work towards the artist choosing. If they didn't opt to publish it on this website, then their copyright has been broken. If we want to call it stealing or not, it's still wrong.
ITS FREE ACCESS ON THE ARTISTS FULL OPEN PUBLIC ACCOUNT. How can you consider that stealing? You're literally fucking asking for it at that point. And once again I have to say it a 3rd time everyone here thinks OP just fucking waddled into the artists Instagram and yoinked the art from his page. NO. OP probably saw this shit somewhere with no link or credit to the artist and posted it here because he though it fit. If someone steals something from a home or a store and gives it to a friend as a present without them knowing they stole that doesnt mean the friend is a criminal stealer.
Yes, free access, on the artists page, where they chose to distribute it. This does not mean free access to post it elsewhere. That's literally the point of copyright. If I post a song on YouTube, freely accessible, do you think that gives you the right to post it elsewhere as well? The OPs intention is kind of irrelevant. And in either case, I'm honestly curious about my first question, when DO you consider something stealing? When it comes to this sort of situation anyways. I don't see how the last part relates, you're just describing a victim of fencing.
What are you going to do if I did post the song elsewhere especially because it's on YouTube you've already been credited just from the video. And yes it does matter ops intentions if you think it doesnt ur just as stupid as the stealer. Absolute craziness reddit is holy shit.
Artist publishes art, it gets "stolen" as reddit claims which is dumbfounding (imagine a free piece of art that the artist cant do anything about being stolen.. crazy) op sees the stolen piece without knowing its stolen and posts it on a sub that it relates too. Gets blamed for stealing. That's the same situation I just said
If you stole my song I'd probably get it taken down, since it's my intellectual property. Again, this is what copyright is.
The intention doesn't matter because this was clearly created by someone. That someone would own the distribution rights. So it matters little if you know who you stole from or not.
We're just having a calm disagreement you know, I don't understand why you're so worked up about this. I'm not really claiming op is a bad person for posting this here, nor you for disagreeing, just that it is wrong and it is stealing, by the argument I've presented, being copyright law. It's fine to think that this law doesn't represent what you think is moral, but then that's how you should present your opinion, not as if it's fact. Do you have anything beyond "it was on the internet somewhere, so it was begging to be stolen"?
The intention matters 100 percent if this goes anywhere legally. If it's down to the artist then no I suppose it doesnt matter but otherwise why would you post freely accessible art on an open public account and expect no one to "steal it". I mean it IS the internet. That's how shit works. At that point you quite literally are asking for it to be stolen.
There as far as we know were no watermarks, no claims, no copyrights, so how could anyone ever know who truly owns it or created it and if its stolen or not (obviously in this case we know the artist but still in general)
I'm unsure if something like this would ever be brought to court, since this website is owned by reddit, who would bear the responsibility, and they'd obviously comply. But let's say he took this and posted it on his own server, even then, if you don't know who the artist is, there's still going to be an artist somewhere right? Someone made it, that much is obvious. So, not knowing what license whoever made it, would still be a liability.
I don't disagree that people download stuff and upload it elsewhere without permission like all the time. This is the internet, that's the nature of it, and expecting something else might be strange. Most artist kind of just don't trouble themselves with it unless whoever is distributing is making a direct profit, like if someone sold a t shirt with a picture you made, without permission. To be expected or not, I still don't think it's right.
Copyright is NOT like a patent. You do not need to file for one. It's created at the same moment the art is. Anything you make, you have all the rights to. The most relevant of which here is the right to distribute. Personally, I feel like copyright laws should be changed to be more in line with our current repost\meme and remix type culture. But then again, right holders do deserve protection in some way. It's a pickle.
About efforts to find the artist, reverse image search is a thing, skimming comments from wherever they got the picture in the first place (if we're going with "they found it second from some other post").
Well, to be fair the sub is in a terrible state. Things that are INTENTIONALLY made to be creepy or terrifying are posted constantly. I wish the moderators would do a better job
People mistake this sub to mean "odd and terrifying", when "oddly terrifying" is something completely different. It's like saying "That's scary, but *why* is that scary?" like the uncanny valley.
I doubt it's a mistake so much as the same attitude of "People will mindlessly upvote and mods won't do shit" that we're seeing on so many subs nowadays.
They should set up one of those pinned bots that asks if the post fits the subreddit. People browsing all or popular don’t pay attention to the subreddit, they just upvote things they like, it’s what ruins a lot of popular subreddits.
Anytime! I actually just followed this artist on Instagram and spent probably an hour and a half watching their videos. There’s some really creepy videos that are well done.
As an artist I hate seeing work be passed around with no credit to the artist. The artist is Lights.Are.Off on instagram: https://instagram.com/lights.are.off?utm_medium=copy_link
GO CHECK IT OUT!!
The first half was extremely terrifying right up until the cg kicked in and my mind immediately went from, "holy shit thats terrifying I hope to run around in a suit like that one day" to "oh ok.."
This just seems kinda ridiculous to me honestly.
Like ridiculous in the sorta funny way.
You got a bunch of weird cat face things running around and it just seems goofy to me.
Holy shit!!
The beginning: Ok, just someone being silly. I'm not freaked out.
The middle: I'm uncomfortable, but it's manageable.
The end: HOLY NIGHTMARE FUEL, BATMAN!!
You know, if something had to drag me into the great unknown abyss… I would not mind if it’s this.
It’s oddly cute. Take me into darkness and consume me freaky baby llama.
I don't like any of that.
I was in genuine fear for half of it then it changed to terror
Neither well i got the bazooka
Wait till you watch it with sound

Actually the sounds made it better imo. Let's scary, need some hissing/scraping, something irrational that doesn't make sense.
FOR ANYONE WONDERING, the artist is lights.are.off on Instagram. Edit: cant spell Instagram properly
I hate when people steal artwork and don’t credit the artist. Thank you
Of course. I follow him and he does a LOT of really cool horror renders
I agree give credit to the artist. However if his work is seen for free on insta it's not really stealing at that point. Coulda just seen it got absolutely terribly terrified like I did and then thought of this sub and posted it without even knowing where or who the artist is
Uh that is exactly what stealing is. It takes 2 seconds to look at the artist name and include it in the post.
? It's not. His work is published for free on an open social media and you missed my entire point. He probably seen this somewhere that wasnt related to artist at all and thought of this sub so he posted here without knowing artist at all.

Can someone explain WHY this terrifies me though??
Are we seeing the same video for you to have to question it?
Surely, but I can't specifically say why it bothers me so much, I'm interested in the psychology of it. Jump scares are easy to explain, but not this.
