Copycat is back

1 min read

This is just a heads up, user exohaku-umei is back, and they made another account called koharu-ume. I don't know if anyone thought it was me, but it's not.


They didn't use my parts this time, but they still made their account name based on my old account name. They re-uploaded 2 of their old pics on the old account in April.


If you're going to do anything, just block and move on because this person is beyond immature. Talking to them they're only going to give half-assed excuses and lies.

And then give your OC a shitty name? This wiki here stole a picture of Kohaku and named her "Fiona".

And even when I tried to have them remove the image they refused :/

Copycat/Thief

3 min read
Now, I really don't like calling people out for something that effects only me. But this is an exception.

Do not leave nasty comments toward this person. This is only to point this person out as a copycat. If you're going to comment, explain to this person why what they did was rude.


A user named exohaku-umei is a copycat and part thief.

Why do I say this? Well 
A: The username is WAY too close to my old one.
B: This person's OC is made from parts belonging to MY models. Only my models.

"Are you sure Reseliee? Maybe they just used the same parts?"

Let me show you why that's not true:

A - This person took Spades as the base model. Only the hair strand and eyes were changed. The Team52 models were only given out to one person via notes and were also given out in the Discord chat.


B - This person took parts from the outfit I modeled. Kairi and Selphie's belts are one thing, but the belt I made from scratch (excluding the heavily edited bag on the side). This model and the other Kohaku model that the glove texture was from have a "use before you take parts" rule. Obviously, not followed.


C - They used almost all of Yije's parts. I heavily edited all of the belts and the top, so even if this person used the same parts it would not look the same. Yije's model was a private DL but he was also given out on the Discord chat.


This person says that they "recently discovered mmd and downloaded a whole bunch of stuff to mess around with" however I don't think this person is a new user. They clearly know how to use PMDE/PMXE. They more than likely left out credits so they were less likely to be found out because if they did give credits, someone would've said something sooner. And the fact that they have models of mine that weren't public only proves that. Maybe someone who I gave Yije to passed the model on, but I trust the people I gave him to privately. And as I said, Team52's models/Spades was only given to 1 person privately, and I highly doubt they shared it. So either someone shared my models with this person, or they're a user who's been around for a bit.

I have a theory as to who's behind this, but I need more proof. But for now this is someone who was so uncreative that they just mimicked my old username and recolored my character parts. Why? Well they're either mad at me, jealous of me, or they're an asshole. I mean, they're an asshole either way but still

Stuck without internet on my laptop but I had a really cool idea and felt like sharing.

Plus this helps me with artist's block


So with a lot of songs, there's a story or situation to them that either you imagine or they're in the lyrics. Or a mix or both.

This challenge is simple: make a short story based on 4-6 random songs (or more if you'd like)

Rules:
- Obviously, you need to list the songs in the order they show up in and a summary of what your story is.
- You can use your interpretation of the song or the intended meaning.
- The order the songs show up in are the order of the story events. No switching them. (Probably the most challenging part)
- You can write out the short story, make a comic, or just a series of pictures based on what you come up with.

I guess you can tag it with something like "music2story" or link it here if you want?

If you rip or use Pangya parts you might have gotten a note recently by a user named :iconrainmay10:

It goes something like this:
--------------------------------------------
"My name is Luiz Cass and I am the CEO of Celebrity Games. A website that your company hosts (according to WHOIS information) is infringing on at least one copyright owned by my company.
An article was copied onto your servers without permission. The original articles, to which we own the exclusive copyrights, can be found at:
pangyacelebrity.com
The unauthorized and infringing copy can be found at:
reseliee.deviantart.com/ (Reseliee note: Basically your entire DA gallery. Nothing specific)
This letter is official notification under Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (”DMCA”), and I seek the removal of the aforementioned infringing material from your servers. I request that you immediately notify the infringer of this notice and inform them of their duty to remove the infringing material immediately, and notify them to cease any further posting of infringing material to your server in the future.
Please also be advised that law requires you, as a service provider, to remove or disable access to the infringing materials upon receiving this notice. Under US law a service provider, such as yourself, enjoys immunity from a copyright lawsuit provided that you act with deliberate speed to investigate and rectify ongoing copyright infringement. If service providers do not investigate and remove or disable the infringing material this immunity is lost. Therefore, in order for you to remain immune from a copyright infringement action you will need to investigate and ultimately remove or otherwise disable the infringing material from your servers with all due speed should the direct infringer, your client, not comply immediately.
I am providing this notice in good faith and with the reasonable belief that rights my company owns are being infringed. Under penalty of perjury I certify that the information contained in the notification is both true and accurate, and I have the authority to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright(s) involved.
Should you wish to discuss this with me please contact me directly.
Thank you.
Luiz Cass"
----------------------------------

Well I did some digging and I've found out that "Celebrity Games" the company DOES NOT EXIST. Nor does Luiz Cass. If this was real, Ntreev or DA itself would be trying to take down specific deviations, not an entire gallery.

This is nothing but a scam. I say scam because I won't reveal this person or their motives.

At least not yet.

And to Rainmay10, I would like for you to contact me either by this username or the one I know you by. 
I'm going to give you 24 hours to contact me and you will stop sending these notes to me or others or I WILL reveal your name on both DA and the Pangya discord server. I imagine you're already worried because someone brought up these notes. Not only will I give out your name on both these platforms I'll tell them other things about you that you've done in the past. You CANNOT bully me or others with fake DMCA notes.

P.S. 
Don't fuck with a Detective
