Plagiarised work is not good
Found this from a blog.

I went hopping from a page to another trying to find out about this image from a trusted source.
This is the original artwork I made for Aqilah.
Noticed the similarity?
Yes, my work has been plagiarised. It was traced. The blame is on the so-called designer not to newly-wed commissioners. They knew nothing about it.
I have e-mailed the designer and she has replied with an apology of not knowing it was my artwork.
Not knowing whose artwork it was doesn’t gives anybody any rights to just copy. It would be great if my image is used as inspiration. You can do similar artwork but with different character that you created and have a bit of the same composition. I don’t mind. You can have the same dolly business like me. I don’t mind. You can create your own dolly but with same clothing. I don’t mind. But if you traced my artwork, this I mind.
The thing is, some people like what they see and simply ripped it off without having second thoughts.
My terms-of-use and copyright both have been violated. If only she read my terms in the first place. If only she has the respect for another designer’s work. Please, read my terms of use before you want to use any images of mine (except for those images featured in here, that I have credited to their respective owners).
I am very considerate. I have given permission for quite a lot of people to use my artworks as accompanying images to their posts. All I ask was a credit mention to my name and a link back to this blog. And they happily agreed with my terms. As for commercial use, I have included in the terms that you have to seek my consent first. If I say that you have to pay for commercial use, you have to abide. If not, then look elsewhere.
And as for all the dollies, they were sold with a license to use it in their blog or other mediums as agreed in respective corresponding e-mails between them and myself. But as for the copyright, it is still mine.
Anyway, I forgave the designer. But hey, I hope she doesn’t mind me linking her here!
And oh, congrats to the newly-wed couple. You have a very cute dolly there!

sabo jelaaa….bulat² artwork kak Emi diciplakkannya. Abusing the rights is absolutely unacceptable.

bain

salam kak emila, this is a very good post. I think it’ll open up many people’s mind out there…yang selama ni tak ada kesedaran tentang rights orang lain.
Not knowing whose artwork is not a good excuse, stealing is stealing…and stealing is not nice.

eh2… boleh ke tiru sebijik2 macam tu… tak takut kena saman ke? dah la berniaga untuk cari wit… sepatutnya dah nama designer… kena la pakai idea sendiri… bukannya suka suki amik gambar kat internet ke apa… tapi memang sebiji2… cuma tukar nama dan warna je…
Nessa
love your ending… sarcasm at its best! 😉
We’ll forget but we’ll never forget. Takpe Emila… what goes around comes around. ((hugs))
Nessa
aiks! silap.. adeh… :$
forgive but never forget *slaps forehead*
Nessa

betul tu kak emila. yg penting konsep dsgn tu berbeza.
as for me, better create design vector by vector than copypaste terus artwork org. such trouble libatkan copyrite nnt. biar bersusah2 dahulu bersenang2 kendian 🙂
ur dolly is the best kak!
anny
forget but don’t forget.. hehhehee.. here’s a kopi for u Nessa 😀
anny

Mariuca
ha ha Bain!
Mariuca
OMG Emila copy cat betul ni! Sure la angers!!!
Mariuca
The designer used it for wedding card is it? wahhhhhh mana boleh? Lucky she apologized but still, damage has been done! Poor u Emila! 🙁
Mariuca
I saw the post edi.. yeah the wedding girl tak tahu pun, if I were the girl I’d get angry with the designer… for not doing her homework before copying pics. 🙁
Mariuca
And I think the designer should compensate YOU for YOUR artwork!!

Salam Kak Emi,
aduihhhhh kena ciplak pulak pulak.
Tapi bagus la kak emi maklumkan macam ni. orang anggap entri sahaja boleh kena ciplak, tapi lupa artworks dan kerja2 lain semua kena boleh ciplak.
Kadang2 tengok ada blogger tu tunggang langgang marah bila tau entri dia kena ciplak tapi dalam masa sama siap bagi tau cara-cara nak crack software ke apa, tu kira ciplak usaha orang lain jugak tuu..
p/s : love the ending too.. heheeee
incik RestNrilekS
neslo kaw2 tiga sini.. thank you
bain
siap!!! 🙂
bain
siap lagi!!!~ ^_^’
bain
mmg jahat orang itu kan Anny? 🙂
bain
Hello guys!!!~
ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Bain baru je pi blog “designer” yg copy n paste artwork kak Emi tu,..tup tup…dah takde dah entry pasal wedding card tu.
Bain saje je nak tgk comment kt entry tu, coz bain ada post satu komen yg berbunyi : “hmm…mcm kenal je karikatur tu..tp di mana ye?”
Sarcastic skit laa komen bain tu, hehe…..^_^’
bain
yay! mmg still choppin²! hehe ^_^’
Aja

university student

fliffyangel

netster
I hope you’re okay by now Emila ((hugs))

This kind of plagiarised is really annoying.. i believe you are very angry with this. But you still have heart to forgive. Its really kind of you kak.. i salute you..
myklikers
Your work was so nice and wonderful. Can I request your service here?
bem69
sorry to here you being plagiarised like that. I know that designers banyak guna balik art, but for inspiration ok la, not totally copy like that. The designer is making money out of it, and that’s like stealing from your pocket. Sucks indeed.

isk…buat kad kahwin pulak tu..haru betul.
kak emi, kalau badge yg kak emi buat tu guna untuk badge contest blog saya, bleh tak kak?
emila
boleh dik
bem69
oops, hear
emila
that’s why jeeb. for inspiration ok la but tiru sebijik yang tak boleh tahan tu.
emila
sure can. email me: emila@emilayusof.com
emila
have to, chandra. i don;t have the heart to take action.
emila
me ok now, fui fa! hugs!
emila
harapnya begitulah.
emila
can but no heart la th
emila
aw that is sweet th!
emila
if people want to use for paper works also can, long as they inform me first.
emila
ok
emila
hehe bain
emila
ya la marzie, first angry la, hence this post. but later cool down already..
emila
betul tu bain
emila
hehe tu la
emila
not knowing is not an excuse to steal other people’s artwork, i so believe in that…kalau tiru sikit dan tukar, masih lagi acceptable.
emila
tu la
emila
hehe nessa, i am a sarcastic person actually
emila
betul tu, wan.
emila
betul anny, but she apologise already
emila
tu la dia
emila
itu la, susahnya nak protect

haiyoh.. copy bulat2 mcm tu.. i salute u kak emi sbb bersbr.. 🙂 n i like the last statement too..!
tp mmg ur artwork is very nice… that is why i mintak u buat byk dolly dulu..love em! walaupun i pun boleh copycat i xbuat ye…i purchase all of them of kak emi.. kan?
tp sedihnye a few months back i had to take it off my header, becos a few been asking me to do the dolly for them n they tot i’m the one who did the dolly, i pun penat nak explain pjg2 byk kali yg its not mine.. so rather than ppl misunderstood n sebarkan ckp its mine, n create satu benda lain plak i decided to take it down..

Ish ish.. and she got PAID for it? Not designer lah namanya tu.. more like plagiariser..
Geram hati tgk.. so I can just imagine how it was for you. Nasib you terjumpa yang ni. Come to think of it, I hope she’s the only one.. kalau ada ramai lagi.. GRR!!
Kata orang imitation is a form of flattery, tapi for me, if you want to flatter me, buat lah betol2!! Jangan lah macam penyamun! hahaha..
emila
tu la. but she apologised saying that she was not aware that the image got copyright…
emila
betul tetapi ramai yang tidak berapa tahu tentang copyright
