Ugh... Here we go again:
Players who upload their head/body should know that once they upload it, the license of the head/body becomes Graal classic's property.

You can only request to remove the head/body from the entire game itself (which includes the removal of your head/body from you aswell) to prevent theft.

If you do wish to remove it, admins have the right to refund you only half of the original price (No exceptions. Its stamped right in the info kiosk in Graal town)

If you don't want your GFX stolen, then do not upload it! How hard is that!?!

^This
For once i can agree This was the same issue before on Graal Pc back in the old days. Simply do not put your graphics online, once it been uploaded it's now the property of GraalOnline.  

So, I get that it's GraalOnline's property. But, and this question is a bit strange so bear with me, the people who take those heads and use them IN the game... Aren't doing anything? Technically. .... I confused myself. Ok, new question. Are the people who put these graphics on website violating anything?  

Adding it to a website isn't a problem either way. It's basically the same process that you can look at heads on graal client pc folders but on a website. Long as the person isn't trying to sell the heads or ask for donations to keep their website up i see no problems.

Copyright can't be used due to you giving up all rights to it if you submit it to graal. Basically you could copyright it and not submit it then threaten to sue whoever steals it. Of course suing over a pixelated head is a waste.

No, no, no. I'm saying just put your name on the custom. Let's say that you have a custom. When you die, have your name instead of the dead animation. Simple.  

I just can't see why somebody would want to take somebody's graphics, paint over them so they look even half as good as before and claim them as their own? You're practically saying, "See this crappy graphic? I didn't make it, I stole it. I couldn't even do something as crappy as that!"

Learning is the best way forward in my opinion.

Some people may steal another's graphics to get hired on servers.

Which is bad, imo.  

Lalalalalalala we can all thank Soul Slayer for the stealers.

Express yourself but don't claim it as your own.

I was going to take a head i liked the most and give it like a dark spiky hair and add some thin clear glasses to it.. but im not going to claim it as my own..

See, there are people that want to design some heads to their own content and they can't pretty much sprite it but only recolor it. Pretty much, people are claiming the heads as their own due to the edits/recolor they put their "effort" into it..

And you can't do anything about it. All heads and bodies that people post belong to GraalOnline Classic and the staff of GraalOnline Classic wants to see others express or get creative with these heads or one of their own.

Trust me, don't think that the admins only care about their heads. Ellybelly's,Iggy's,Matt's,Stella's,Artist's, and other admin's heads were recolored/edited and accepted in the process.

The same applies for bodies aswell  

I remember a staff claimed once that their head that was stolen by a player was removed from the player because it was staff impersonation and that's the only reason why it was removed.

Total bull. The player had their own name, wasn't goldnamed, didn't have anything that would be claiming to be the said staff.

I  

Cut off jailbroken players from playing? My ipod is jailbroken, and i'm pretty sure i don't steal peoples art... They wouldn't be able to anyway, the app has no way of seeing if you're using a jailbroken device. So if that's what your saying, that's not a valid solution at all.. Haha

Sadly if there was a way to stop it, it still wouldn't be done. They are making money off it. And even if cutting off jail broken players would stop gralat hacking and such, it would cut off the graal population as people that dont want to restore will quit. And that would also reduce population... So as horrible as it is and as much as gfx hate it, as for now all you can rely on is the chance that a nice staff member will help you out.

all the gralat hacking was done on pc but they stopped it for now.
blocking jailbroken devices wouldn't solve anything  

Yes its bad stealing GFX work, but people now just ACCUSE people of stealing if their work if its a bit 'too' good.

Exactly they get jealous:S  

Obviously there are files on the game inaccessable to even those with ifile but if uploads were to be put in these folders server lag would highly increase. So either no gfx stealing or a nearly unplayable game.
