wow.
Thatās awful!
You should have mentioned the law regarding your rights as owner, Iāve noticed the minute you mention legality in any way thatās when they actually do what they should have just done in the first place 
Naming them doesnāt help. If we download it to phones, name is gone.
If itās a problem with Alexaās watermark, and any other editorās watermark, why did Episode say in the email the problem was Episode assets?
Because sheās using those assets and then putting her watermark on them, which can come across as itās all hers.
Ohhh, that makes sense. 
Iām not bothered. I know which are yours 
now that makes sense.
I actually donāt use Pixabay that much any more. Kiss png is quite good, also pngimg. Thereās a few others but I canāt recall their names off the top of my head
but you need to ensure even when using free png sites, that the images are free for use. Many require the designers to be credited.
ohh ok.
yeah, iāve seen some free stock image on there. (Pixabay)
Exactly. I understand Alexa wants to be recognized for the time and work she puts into her backgrounds, but there are other ways to go about it besides a huge watermark.
Yes, I donāt watermark my BGās on my drive. 1. It looks rubbish for the person using it and 2. I didnāt make all the assets (like Episodes for example). I do however only use free to use and ones that do not require credit for the designer. Completley free to use only. I put my username in the file name. If you download on phone, tablet or PC, unless you specifically rename it, it downloads with the original file name given. I know, Iāve downloaded all this way to make sure 
I donāt think the issue is the watermark. Alexa never mentioned anything about watermarks in her IG story. If you read screen shots 1 and 2 from above, she mentions that Episode doesnāt want anyone editing their backgrounds anymore.
āto not produce anymore backgrounds with episode assets and distribute themā
So basically Episode is becoming stingy as hell.
Next thing you know Episode will start rejecting covers because they have Episode characters on them ![]()

Yep, on my laptop.
There are some free assets on pngimg, you just need to be careful which you use.
& @amepisode
Not even on kisspng images are good for Episode.
Under every png is a license and I never found any that can be used in our case.

Phone and tablet too. Most of the time, I use my tablet to download and the file name is saved.
This is insane! Many hours of hard work and dedication wastedā¦
