Wait, what?

Um, no. Just no. You're trying to skip the licensing process with the guise of a community contest? That's not cool, Activi- Bungie.

3 RepliesThat makes sense. I mean, you're taking their work that you're drawing and then you're getting something for your work. I don't know why you seem to be bothered by it when it's a pretty common thing.

Yea....this is pretty normal....

4 RepliesEdited by Kalyx triaD: 7/10/2016 2:47:22 AMThis is actually very common (like Capcom doing it). Being that you can't sell fanart anyway (commissions are the only loophole), there's not much wrong with this. The key point is that placing high gets your name out there.

7 RepliesYou are aware you get a commission for all sales of your art work, right?

1 ReplyI believe this is designed to protect them from any possible lawsuit. Without this in place, you could attempt to comeback and say they stole your art without permission. Waiving any rights to it does avoid this. People try shit like that all the time.
-
4 RepliesJust because you give them the rights to your work, doesn't mean they won't pay a commission to the creator. I'm a freelance software developer. Nearly every contract I've had with every company I've worked with there is a clause in the contract that states the work I do and code I write will belong to that company when I'm finished. I still get paid.

2 RepliesDude, even gaming magazines that feature art say the art now belongs to them. Not like you could make money off art based on something that isn't your property anyway.

1 ReplyEdited by Zelrons: 7/9/2016 4:56:53 AMIt's worded kind of menacingly, but it's common to do things like this because it allows Bungie to use said art at their discretion and not have to ask permission to every applicant to post it anywhere or having them come back claiming compensation over it.
-
7 RepliesThey can't sell something they don't have the rights to. That's very basic law.
-
3 RepliesI know you're just trying to instigate some shit, but that's pretty basic rhetoric for these contests. Ever watch Daria? There was an episode with an art contest, long story short in one quote: "So let me get this straight: you took my daughter's picture from her, altered its content, exhibited it against her will, and are now threatening discipline because you claim she defaced her own property, which you admit to stealing? Are you familiar with the phrase 'violation of civil liberties?' And the phrase 'big fat lawsuit?'"

5 RepliesYou know facebook has the same thing, right? They own any pics added to the site and can use them in any way they please.
