Author Topic: Rejected for copyright infringement, how to resubmit with proof? (Read 4888 times)

So, I have this animation I want to submit, using materials that are free to use commercially (which is explicitly stated on the website I got it from). However, the submitted animation was rejected because it potentially infringes intellectual property rights.

How can I resubmit it with proof that it's not infringement? I can only see a releases menu but that's for models/buildings.

Are you new to the industry.
I mean how can you use free for commercial material in your stuffs and sell as your own?

You kidding me?

There are cases where it is fine, for example Daz content. You just need to make sure you have done your homework.

Send them an email attaching the images or a "contact sheet" with thumbnails, a screen shot of the site and its language permitting the use, and a link to the relevant pages. Alternatively, you could put all that in a pdf and upload it as a "release," though someone further up the food chain than a reviewer may need to have a look.

I just had an illustration rejected for failure to include the original photo (mine) as a "release," forgetting how stringent they've become, which is actually a good thing theoretically, however annoying it is for us. Thinking of all the rip-offs of other's work that get past the reviewers, it's good to know some of them are on the ball, even if it makes more work for those of us who are playing by the rules.

Because the copyright owner explicitly stated that, and I quote, "the maps are free to download and use as source material or resource in artwork or rendering (CGI or real time) in any kind of project - personal, commercial, broadcast, or display."

As long as I don't offer the maps/textures for sale 'as is' (but only in a rendered 3d version), it's allowed.

May I ask you for a link to that site? I would be interested as well :-)

So I added a screenshot as a property release (there's no other way since they've removed the option to add a note to the reviewer), but now it got rejected because :
"Release Field / Not Needed -- A model or property release is either attached to the wrong field or..."

Headache coming up in 3, 2, 1...
