#Respecttheartist Reminder for Sapphire

Giving credit is a unnecessary action.

Let's talk about it, I really don't see why Christy is mad at Lily for it? Christy acts like her entire career is going down just because Lily uses one of her artworks. But, Christy is doing fine, so obviously no damages as being done for it, so Christy and the rest of the people are being outraged at Lily for no reason. I'm not any more of an expert on copyright subjects, but I know that I wouldn't be so quick to call Lily an art theft. Art Theft is the act of claiming someone else works as your own which Lily never did for any images she uses on her videos. What Lily did is simply present the artwork on her video, and used it as a visual aid for the subject matter of the video and nothing else. So, Lily's action was not copyright infringements it was, fair use is a thing, and everything you posted on the Internet is subject to Fair Use.

When it comes to crediting works that you gonna used, you don't have to.

It only matters when the images you gonna uses is the main subject like if you gonna talk about someone's artwork. And most of the time people do it as a sign of respect, but it is actually useless to do in the first place. So, Lily is in no way breaking any copyright rules by posting Christy's art for her videos nor she is under any obligation to give credit for using it. But I also found it very hypocritical that you people are trying to punish Lily for something that you people are doing yourself. Like uploading gameplay footage or footage from TV, Movies, Anime, and Cartoons which are art too, and I don't see you people giving credit to the original people that work on them.

Footage from Gameplay, Movies, TV, Anime, or Cartoon is art too, and so they are under Copyright Rules too. They also take time and effort to be made, so they aren't the exception to the rules. We have people like Joshscorcher that also use Copyright materials for his videos, and yet you people aren't mad at someone like him, but suddenly is Lily you people get mad at her. So it's obvious that you people are just looking for any excuse to hate Lily because it seems popular to hate someone. And I notice that many people who hate Lily are people that have small Channels. So, I have to assume that you people are hating Lily because it's popular to hate her even if you have no logical reason to hate her. So it is clear that you people with small channels are just attacking bigger ones because they wanna be part of a drama to get media attention.

Sure, Lily is arrogant and condescending, but let's not pretend that you people are any better specially when you people deal with disagreements.

In the end, Lily has no obligation to give credit for the images she is gonna to use for her videos, and you people can't force others to Respect someone else when that person is being rude. We don't have the obligation to respect others when that other person is being rude and condescending toward us, so it doesn't matter how good someone is in arts. Respect is earned, not given which means that if you want to be respected by others, you have to earn first, and your popularity or your skill as an artist does not matter.

At the end! Respect is Earned, not given! #EarnThatRespect
