tarotgalYou ever know you should kick some ass but you don't really feel like it?
New cartoon sneezing group started- which is great and all. I'm all for it. Variety is good :-)

Just that lots of the materials posted on it- wavs and comics particularly came from my sites- and I'm pretty damn sure I never gave permission. Okay, so one could argue that if it's on TOS, it's community property, as per the point of that site. HOWEVER, this is why I created a terms of usage statement here: http://tos.beastlet.com/terms.html
which clearly states that some materials on TOS are NOT to be redistributed or reposted in any other form.
And while I'm damn pissed about it, I don't really have the time/effort/desire to go kick some ass about it. It's just... grrr... annoying to put your own time into scanning comics and making wavs and have them stolen without being asked permission. Had I been asked, I would have granted it in most cases. But point is, there was no asking involved. Which pisses me off. Which is why I created the terms of usage statement in the first place. But I REALLY don't feel like kicking ass on this issue right now. I'm NOT a confrontational chica. Just needed to rant. *sigh* Just one of the MANY reasons I distance myself from "the community"
And really, the part I'm most pissed about is taking things I have on TOS that others gave me specifically/exclusively for TOS use. Okay, so Gurm isn't around any longer to feel pissed that said group admin posted some things he spent good money to scan in and allowed me to post on my site because he was a sweetie and I asked him. But the point is, not everything on TOS is public domain- and NOTHING on TG's Realm is to be used as public domain without asking first. *sigh* Just makes me rethink the whole spending time to give to others thing.
GRRR! I hate the damn "community"
