This section deals with graphics, such as Anime/movie/TV screenshots, Videogame screenshots/sprites, artbook scans and any other commercial work.
You may NOT:
Use or offer to use images eg. anime, movie, game characters without permission from the copyright holder or the artist who drew them. Just stating "Images owned by Fox" or similar is not good enough.
- this includes scans, screenshots or other similar images, even if you took the screenshot yourself or bought the book/magazine etc that you scanned the image from, you STILL need permission.
- this also includes sites such as animewallpaper.com or animerender.com. You need the permission of the artist/company that owns it. Just because it's free to download does not mean you can make a profit off of them.
Use stock images without permission from the person who took them.
Use any photobucket, google or other similar images without permission of the artist/company that owns them. Asking the person who uploaded it does not count as they do not have the authority to give you permission, unless they made the image themselves.
Use traced, copied or eyeballed images.
I think everyone hopefully understood that part. In the end that wasn't the standing issue.
What was standing is that it might have been a misunderstanding. In the anime galleries she may have been given permission, and not have realized that the person giving the permission wasn't the true artist. It's still highly plausible.
The TOS won't cover that, so what you have to decide as a member is to let them know what mistake has been made, if they do not correct the mistake, then you should take action. Such as filing a report.
