The Image Usage Uproar And My Thousand Words

If I want to blog about Evangelion, I’d like to use some nice images of Rei in the post. But WAH insists that I can’t use fanart or whatever without crediting. But it’s such work to go through all that trouble for a single image! I’ve seen a solution to this here, but I simply can’t draw stickmen. Damn I should have paid attention in art class back in kindergarten.

I figured that I would need something related to Evangelion if I wanted to post about it. No, posting lolcat images doesn’t work this case.

Here are my thousand words describing another solution I’ve thought of.

LCL in real life
In the form of an image

This has got to be the best image for an anime blog post header, ever.

Also, WAH, you’ve got to understanding that trying to stop bloggers from using those images you speak of, over the Internet, is futile. They’ll only listen to you if you march up to them, bloodlusted and pounding a sledgehammer.

    So shall all bloggers justify themselves by citing that this is the Internet and everyone else is doing it? Have some respect.

    And there’s always official art.

    This is the same problem as piracy. It’s not moral, nor is it respectful, but people do it anyway, because it’s the Internet. There’s no way to stop everyone from doing it just because a few people say so. Even if everyone knows that it’s wrong.

    Also, one problem I have is differentiating fan art from official art. Some of them are just done in a way that makes it hard to.

    Wait, isn’t that lemons? As in “Life gives you lemons…”

    Anyways, consider English Language broken. (If you guys have no idea what this mean, it means this discussion is over: I praise be to Adolf Hitler that he shalt dictate the wrights and wrongs of this matter. There: I’ve invoke Godwin’s Law.)

    How awful! You totally stole that picture of a glass of orange juice from me! That took hours of my artistic effort, and you just cruelly snatch it away!

    Your artistic effort tastes good.

    NERV should really consider that LCL I use. It’s really cheap at $1/litre.
