"This Site has stolen from Serebii.net" That what you're going to say? Post Here

Sorry if this is counted as spam.

But if you put time and effort into something and someone came, ripped it off of you, said they wrote it and never gave you any credit. You wouldn't be annoyed at all?

No, because I would know that I had worked for it, and that person is just cheating themselves.

And I mean't the internet in general, not life.

In reality, NO ONE except Game Freak, TPCi and any other affiliate of the pokemon franchise own this information.

So why is it wrong if someone takes information from Serebii if Serebii has no legal right to it?

[Serebii]

The writeups and images are legally owned by me. While the characters, games etc. are owned by Nintendo, they do NOT own my writeups and THAT is the issue

What pictures have been stolen though? Because if you're talking about card pictures, then you'd hopefully noticed the 'Pokebeach.com' logo in each of the card picture's corner.

You know, it's not actually "stealing" but rather plagurism. Stealing means to take something so the other person no longer has it. The thieves actually just wrote down what you posted on the site, yet you still have the work.

Plus, whats the worst that can happen when someone, let's say copies, the work into their own site?

It's not about what can happen, it's about the fact that they are benefiting from something that Serebii and his associates did, while the other party did absolutely nothing. It's wrong, it's illegal, and if you do it, you're a prick.

Actually, serebii is so popular that if another site steals content, it isn't a diffirence, just my opinion.

The picture captioned as "In-game map of the Unova region from Black 2 and White 2" was copied from the Pokéarth picture of the Unova region and altered to remove the Challenger's Cave and Route 10.

I know this because in the actual in-game map of the Unova region in Black 2 and White 2, Undella Bay doesn't have a green square - it's just the yellow line connecting Undella Town to the Seaside Cave.

Edit: Never mind this. Apparently, some squares on the B2/W2 Unova ingame map only show up once you've been there.

Did they ask to use this line of pictures from here?

I have the feeling they didn't, considering for one thing that they called the guy Gary instead of Blue/Green from Pokemon Adventures. I happened to see this on Facebook and so I began wonder.
