I have a question that I'm hoping a mod or admin might be able to answer for me, as I've seen this happen on here and have been seeing it happen on other social media sites.
What are the rules in here about using someone else's work as your own, or for your own personal gain? For instance, if someone were to take someone else's artwork, slap their own captions and book titles on it to promote their own book, without the artists' permission, what is the protocol for this? Do we report it?
Being a writer and a musician myself, I'd be legitimately upset if someone ran around using my music or, using a short story of mine in their own compilation without asking me or working out a compensation plan first. So I guess I now have 2 questions:
1.) If it's happening here, in this community, how do we go about getting that member to stop doing this?
2.) If it is NOT happening here on DD, but we know the member is doing this elsewhere, is there any particular protocol for that?
