The Difference Between Stealing and Copying Skins!

Hello it has been brought to my attention that I always here people arguing about this topic. One thing that really gets on my nerves is when someone steals someones skin and claims it is their own and say that they made it. Their is a really big problem with that and we should put a stop to it. What really is grinding my gears is that recently I got banned for making a %100 original skin. They mods said that it looked like another skin and was not an original. I understand why they thought that because people like me that make skins can not look at every skin ever created to see that if it looks like the one we made. The people that steal the skins should be the ones getting banned. They are Minecrafts biggest problem because that is plagiarism. Mods should put more effort into finding those people then finding skins that look alike but have no connection to each other.

Now What About Modifying Skins?!

I think people that create skins and or modify another ones shouldn't be frowned upon. If we are changing any type of detail in the skin that is something major I do not see a problem with that. You should just give the original created credit in the title or the description. They say do not upload multiple skins of the same kind that have different colors. Maybe someone wants a skin with a blue sweatshirt, or a green one, or a yellow one; that should not be considered a ban because I have heard numerous remarks of that happening. Many people have different preferences and you should respect that.


Minecraft Mods Banning For No Reason


This is something that has always beeen an issue for me. I have made around 20-30 skins in the past. I became very good at making them but then I ran into an issue. I kept on getting banned over and over again for weeks just because apparently the skin looked like someone else's. I would never steal a skin because I am a graphics artist and I would never want someone to steal my graphic work. PMC kept on insisting that my skins were stole, thus ending in bans. Really PMC? This is a place where people come to have fun, talk about Minecraft and anything Minecraft related. You're banning me a meber that goes on every day just becuase apparently you think my skins look like someone else's? I have been a member for a long time previously reaching level 39 I think, then PMC deletes every single skin and blog I posted and set me back to lvl 1 for no reason. That made me not come on here for months because I was discusted with the admins. They need to learn to ban people actually stealing skins and making horrible blogs instead of worrying about people like me for no reason at all. I guess this part has turned into a kind of rant against Mods and Admins but it was not intended too. I hope you guys agree with me and please post down in the comments if you have ever been banned for a bad reason before too!



What Is Minecraft Skinning?

Minecraft skinning involves creativity, excitement, and using your imagination. Create whatever comes to your mind. You can only get better and better as every day goes by. Get some inspiration from other people. Try to get some ideas and help to make not only you better but your skins. I hope this blog made a little sense because I wanted to bring it to your guys attention. Post in the comments down below on what your thoughts are and if you agree leave a diamond to show your support!

There are some people who like to steal skins for attention and blah blah, blah, but then there are the people who annoy me the most, the people who steal skins and keep saying "No it's my skin, liar" then put you on their ignore list so you can't warn people. One of these people (I only know them because they stolen a skin from me, my Espeon Girl skin) is Cake_Plays_MC. I kow many others, but Cake_Plays_MC is a convenient example, and is still stealing skins and credit, but always from Skindex users. I have reported a lot of her skins, but only 1 of 10 has been taken down. She even has the nerve to steal a skin for her celebration skins. Her 21 sub skin? Stolen from http://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/4084602/nyan-cat-girl/. Her Umbreon Boy skin that she claims was "requested"? Stolen from http://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/3956223/umbreon-boy/. All of her skins? Stolen. Pretty much, if anyone comments on her skins or tried to confront her, she puts them on her ignore list, which is the only reason you see either no comments, or really nice comments like "Wow, this is really good, how did you learn to make that hair?" and her saying "Oh yeah this took me ages to make, and *random overly used excuse*" No, no it didn't, you stole it and put a stupid giant "C" on the back or changed the eye colour. It's the people who make up conveluted excuses like "No! I uploaded this first, then someone reported it and it got taken down, then he uploaded it but it's really mine and not theirs" Which explains why theirs was uploaded 2 weeks before yours, does it? Then the real owner comes on and says "That's my skin, not yours" *omg he found me, I'll just ban him from my page*
These people make me so angry, the ignorance and stupidity is off the scale for these people.
Why can they get away with it so easily, even after so many reports have gone in about the same users, they are still stealing skins. Who says they should keep all the XP they earn off of the stolen skins? It's just so unfair and makes skin makers like me really sad when people steal my skins, and many others. The system is just so flawed..

Yes, I'm ranting, because this subject just makes me so mad with how they can get away with it ;n;
I also recommend looking at her vast collection of stolen material, and it's just a joke how easily you can tell they aren't made by the same person.

even though you won't probably respond i want to say that my friend has the same problem so my friend has seen that someone took her skins and re-uploaded them here which is really upsetting cause I play mc with her almost every day and know that she spends hours making her skins me and my other friends have attempted to talk to the uploader but its been 7+ days and the stealer has not responded I feel bad for my friend because it was a really scummy thing for someone to do
