Ford Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) I have a picture of something Bionicle related that I would like to post in the General Art forum, but I did not make it; my sister made it with minor input from me. I would still like to show it, but am I allowed to do so using my account if my sister was the creator of the item featured in the picture?

Naota Takizawa Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'd say since your sister was the one who created most of it, the artwork would belong to her and posting it with your account would count as taking someone else's work.

Makuta Luroka Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I don't know, to be honest. I remember someone in BBC posting one of their child's creations because the child did not have an account. I'd definitely get a second opinion from the staff on this but I think that precedent could be applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I don't know, to be honest. I remember someone in BBC posting one of their child's creations because the child did not have an account. I'd definitely get a second opinion from the staff on this but I think that precedent could be applied.I think that was Smitty or Prowl (could be wrong, though, so don't quote me on that. ). On the other hand, Fordian, why not convince your sister to make an account? Unless she's just really young, in which case, you most likely can post it so long as you say that it was your sister's work. 1 ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless she's just really young, in which case, you most likely can post it so long as you say that it was your sister's work. My sister is two years older than me, actually. I was thinking of just posting it and giving her credit for making it, while I gave the initial idea. I just want to get an opinion from the staff before proceeding, as previously mentioned as well as why I made this topic in the first place. http://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/O8CcqC5.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/kbP5Svg.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've posted before that I've allowed my son to build a couple of my Sets. Pohatu he build himself and Onua we built together. I don't remember posting an image though. I did mention him building it in my Pohatu Video Topic. As for your enquiry. I would say that giving your Sister credit is a good move but since you have already stated she had done so it isn't directly plagerizing because you have already admitted that you did not build it directly. However you also stated it was a collaboration of sorts. So there is that... I don't see much reason for your sister to make an account just to post a single image though if she is an avid Bionicle/lego fan and wants to join the community at large then I agree with T1S and she should totally make an account. More fans the better. 3 "A stranger will always be a stranger unless you give them a chance." || <- My Pokémon | BZPRPG Characters: Po-Matoran Doseki & Nui-Jaga Scorpio; Ga-Matoran Orca Matoran und Panzer: Doseki & Glitch | Marvel RP PC | Mata Nui Monopoly: Come...

Black Six Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 It would be preferred if your sister made her own account to post her own artwork. Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is your answer I guess. May not have been the answer you wanted but when the admen talks we have to listen.
