Hello there fellow readers ! 
I am here to say that people need to stop this "Skin Copying" !
Do you really think ... we won't notice ? 
Its really noticable when you try to copy skins , if you are older member of pmc , if you have been here about for year or longer , you know , that there are alot of copied skins , you've probably seen alot of copied skins. I have seen plenty too...
Here is the latest copied skin I saw , it has copied mouth and eyes , but the mouth is a "bit remaked" so it doesn't look so copied. But how can it be mostly the same ? How ?
All I can say , its a copy , well I'm gonna let you take a look at it !
Here is the original skin :

And here is the copy from one of entrys in the emotions skin contest :

Hmm... the eyes are completely same... but well I quess alot of people have same eyes. Lets take a look at the mouth. Its a bit remaked how I said earlier... the bottom of it , so it looks more "humanly". But I can still tell that its a copy.... 
Comeon people. You do skins for fun , to show your creativity! Not to just take some pieces of another skins. Its just not right. And there have been alot of blogs saying "Stop Copying Skins" . I know pmc'ers are tiered of reading these "Skin Copying" blogs, but I just had to make this blog. It probably won't change anything , but I hope it gets atleast some people to think about this. 

What to do if your skin got copied ?

There is nothing you can really do about it , only report the skin , or tell it to moderator or any staff. You can too talk with the skin maker who copied your skin , maybe you will be friends , but it doesn't happen mostly. The big problem is , if it is a "teen skin" it will be hard to prove its copied. Mostly teen skins look the same... so there is not really a way to tell a teen skin is copied. But if its a original skin like tiger or any animal or some item in skin format , you can easily prove that its stolen / copied.

How do you tell if the skin is copied or not ?

As you saw earlier I was looking at the eyes and mouth , this time it wasn't a "teen skin" so I had a choice to prove that its kind of stolen. If its teen skin again you can't tell if its copied or not. But you can too take a look at mouth , eyes , hair. People who copy / steal skins mostly change pants and jacket , and maybe the hair color. The hair can be their self made mostly , as people use kind of similar styles. I recommend going on splitscreen internet mode and checking every detail one by one if you think the skin is copied.

How can pmc stop skin copying / stealing ? 

The thing is , they can't. Moderators and another staff only remove those stolen skins what they find , there are dozens of more skins they don't know about what are copied.
I wanned to say that we just can't stop this skin copying / stealing. People won't listen. They want attention and popularity , as everyone does. They just don't get it that they need to use their creativity.

What to do if you are one of the skin stealers ?

You should remove your copied skins even how much you don't want them to be removed , remember that they will get removed sooner or later anyways , if you don't want to get the punishments later then just remove the skin now. Your mess will be off your shoulders , you will be like a free bird flying through pmc. No more copying , stealing , its your creativity you need to use , go and sketch something or create your own skin , with your own hands , what you say about that ? It might seem hard , but trust me , you will get more attention and popularity with your own creations , no one got mind like you got , people are diffrent , so are you !
