Actually, just because its on google does NOT mean it is public domain. Also, being on a forum IS rather public.

Also, being on a forum IS rather public. actually they wouldn't put in on google if they didn't want people to look/use it. what the harm to it? it's 2nd to none that the person who made the map is going to come here. bitch about us using the map and then have us modified?

we can take it...... they put it on the internet in a publicly accessible place.... we can do as we please... It's not your work and you can't just use it whether you like it or not. You must give credit to the original owner. If I catch someone using someone elses work without credit on this forum, I will issue a severe warning. Don't try it. Recap, it's still plagiarism, no matter if it's on Google. Proper credit must be given to the original owners. I will not tolerate plagiarism on the forum.

I have my stuff on google and don't want it stolen. You see, if you post a picture anywhere, you can find it with google. It would say spacifically on the webpage if it was public domain. Also I am not a copyright expert, but I know this is wrong. What I don't know is what would happen if we were to use this and get caught, and I would rather not find out. Also, It pays respect to the artist if you do NOT steal their work.

Plagiarism is claiming someone else's work as your own, which I'm not doing. I've never claimed that it was in any way my own art, only that I added the names of the places. The problem would be copyright infringement. Since this work isn't copyrighted, it doesn't matter if I use it. I'll add the name of the artist above the map though. That way there can be no dispute.

I credited the artist, so there shouldn't be a problem.

Even still, I know we have our artists here (such as Daisuke) and we should see what WE can come up with before we run out to random people on the internet.

Well this thing has been in the making for weeks. I'd certainly like to see something from one of our members, but I don't want to end up waiting on someone who's not even going to participate. If someone submits a good looking map before we start than we can use that, but so far only Darkfire has even attempted it and he just drew his in paint. I put this thread here hoping to get the artist on the site involved, but most of them haven't even signed on in the last week.
