I redesigned the site layout!

I couldn’t cover every page and feature because that would take more than one weekend, but if anyone has any suggestions/requests regarding redesigns, or questions about this one, I’d love to hear them!

So a friend of mine made this based off a fb status I made and now it’s *everywhere*

my neo faeriesona! 

I took this personality test to see which type I’d be (and I got Dark aksjdh) she’s riddled with self doubt and anxiety so that’s where most of her evil magic comes from

(took inspiration from the Darkest Faerie Sisters so I guess she’s the missing fourth one that wanted to stay home instead ksjd)

“wolf link is links fursona” shut up you have no knowledge of zelda lore. the wolf form has no bearing on who link is as a person, thats just the power of the chosen one. a true zelda fan would know that links canon fursona is a rabbit, as its said in a link to the past that in the dark world everyone takes the form of an animal that reflects their true nature, and what is link in the dark world? a pink rabbit. that is his official, canon fursona and I don;t want to hear anything otherwise

The issue is that you can write whatever you want in a TOS. You can write that anyone who quits the site has given TNT explicit permission to come and kill their families. Under no ground does that make it legal, though. You can't do whatever you want. The TOS, if it actually is supposed to work like this, would likely be found unenforceable.

"Without recourse" absolutely does NOT address the third party issue. The artist does, in fact, have the right to simply draw the characters, as it's very likely to be considered transformative under Fair Use. Under no circumstance does an artist waive their rights to an image just by drawing a character, no matter what the owner of the intellectual property says. Such would completely defeat the purpose of Fair Use, therefore the TOS is likely to be found unenforceable should it be taken to court.

Because third parties do not have the right to give rights to Neopets, the art is still stolen. Neopets has the ability to research the images posted to their site to ensure that the uploader had the right to give them the rights, anyone does, and therefore they can still be considered responsible for the theft.

Edit: I was slightly off. Assuming a third party uploaded the image, Neopets doesn't have to take liability as long as they take the image down when the creator asks (and provides proof that they are the creator), as they are presumably unaware that the image was stolen. In that case, if they don't take it down after being told that they don't have the right to use it, they are no longer acting in good faith.

im seein talk abt tnt stealing artwork again and while on moral grounds i agree with “tnt should not steal artwork made by independent artists”, on legal grounds i’m afraid they’re completely able to do this? and its not stealing? unfortunately

anything created using neopets (and uploaded to neopets), characters, concepts, or otherwise can be used however they want (part B section 2 of their terms of service). granted, the artist’s work is no longer on neopets in full, but people absolutely use their art on the daily on the website, allowing tnt to have access to it.

granted, there’s a ton of caveats in the TOS that are not upheld, including some sort of embargo on posting neopets content to other websites (part b section 1 paragraph 2)? i dont buy that one in particular since i think it was written prior to social media becoming a big deal but i digress

anyway, stay frosty folks. tnt is legally allowed to use any content you made involving neopets without your permission. it sucks, and i hate it, but it is what it is.
