That’s awful!

You should have mentioned the law regarding your rights as owner, I’ve noticed the minute you mention legality in any way that’s when they actually do what they should have just done in the first place :roll_eyes:

Naming them doesn’t help. If we download it to phones, name is gone.

If it’s a problem with Alexa’s watermark, and any other editor’s watermark, why did Episode say in the email the problem was Episode assets?

Because she’s using those assets and then putting her watermark on them, which can come across as it’s all hers.

Ohhh, that makes sense. :thinking:

I’m not bothered. I know which are yours :wink:

now that makes sense.

I actually don’t use Pixabay that much any more. Kiss png is quite good, also pngimg. There’s a few others but I can’t recall their names off the top of my head :thinking: 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, i’ve 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 don’t watermark my BG’s on my drive. 1. It looks rubbish for the person using it and 2. I didn’t 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, I’ve downloaded all this way to make sure :grin:

I don’t 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 doesn’t want anyone editing their backgrounds anymore.

ā€œto 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 :roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes:

Yep, on my laptop.

There are some free assets on pngimg, you just need to be careful which you use.

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.
