It's nnice to here your opinion , and you should check this out , it explains the creative commons license and as well as many other things. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/71009618/

That's an anti-recolor project. It doesn't explain the CC license correctly.

What about https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/70362686/ ?

Same thing.

So that's why it was marked NFE?

Yep. But we're thinking about taking a harder stance (ie, censor instead of NFE) since they make those who do recolors feel unwelcome.

I doubt that much force is necessary. Besides, it might be best to keep them so we hear everybody's arguments.

That's a project I've seen :3 It explains it pretty well.

Too your eyes.

I sympathize with artists, getting your art recolored must feel horrible. However, Scratch projects are under Creative Commons Share Alike licenses, which means that anyone can view and remix/recolor your project. If you don't want them to be used this way, unshare them and post your art somewhere else.

There are easy ways to put a © license on a work other than dA. Besides other alternative art websites (such as the Newgrounds Art portal, ArtRift, etc.), most pic sharing sites require that you own the pics you upload anyway and have commenting options. Users can also publish independently by making their own site and sharing there. (A tip for the budding artist: The latter happens to be the more professional option if you're seriously considering art as a career).

^^^
Like cheddargirl said, there are plenty of places to share your work. I personally recommend making a website (if you don't know how, use website building services such as Wix and Weebly).

Because Scratch projects are under Creative Commons Share Alike licenses, that also means that you cannot say that remixes are not allowed for your project. According to Scratch's FAQ, "We believe that viewing and remixing interesting projects is a great way to learn to program, and leads to cool new ideas. That’s why the source code is visible for every project shared to the Scratch website.“

However, if the recolorer/remixer gives no credit to you as the original artist or made no changes to your project, you have the right to report them. The FAQ says ”It's important to respect the original creator’s wishes regarding remixing. If you choose to integrate someone else’s work into your own, be sure to give them credit on the project “credits” section, and include a link back to the original.", and the Community Guidelines states “You are free to remix projects, ideas, images, or anything else you find on Scratch – and anyone can use anything that you share. Be sure to give credit when you remix.” If they give no credit to you, report them. They have not upheld this Community Guideline. If they do give credit, there's nothing you can do about it, besides taking down your project and posting your art somewhere else. But ff they didn't change your original project, that's a different story. That can be reported. All remixes have to contain changes and credit.

In this case, it kind of is. Necroposting is only okay if you are agreeing with the suggestion and the topic is relevant. (Honestly, if you're no supporting, there's no reason for you to bump a dead suggestion.) @charlie55843 was not agreeing with the post, and the topic had been solved already.

It hasn't been explicitly stated what side he/she stands for.

I think he/she was on the side of “I don't want this topic to exist”.

That's kinda implied, I guess.
(S)he had no better reason to bump it, then?

But we can't know for sure yet.

I've been recolored TWICE, But I'm fine when the person asks first. If not, and DOESN'T GIVE CREDIT, Report 'em. Other then that, just ignore the recolors.

And what about Art Thieves? They are better off getting arrested by the FBI. (Or some sort of Police) (Necropost.)

Lol, are you talking about in real life? Art theives can get arrested in real life, but on Scratch (or any other art website) they can't get arrested.

Yeah, everything on Scratch is CC protected, and you won't get in legal trouble even in places like dA.

What these guys said. If you see an art theft, report it, and the ST will take care of it (make sure you include the link to the original). Anyway, since this has been solved, should we close this?

When you share stuff on this site, you are AGREEING to let it be used by anyone (even without permission), as long as you give credit.
