its been months and i feel like im have to adress this publicly. Since Emotes went public there has been a surge in Thiefs and Reuploaded Assets. Its been a problem for UGC for a while, but especially Emotes are the ones being stolen in MASSES. With only a couple click you can download Animations and import them into Studio. It also just takes some more click to publish them using Alt Accounts. These Groups are made by mostly Alt Accounts to protect their main Account from being Terminated. Youd probably think you can remove the stolen Reuploads easily with their "Game Changing" Removal Requests Tool in the IP Tab on the Creator Dashboard. If you thought its easy, well its not! 99% of Removal Requests get rejected because of "not containing enough originality". I just want to remind ANYONE that even if its simple Poses or Trendy Dances on Tiktok you cant just steal someones work. It doesnt matter if choreography is copyrighted or not. If you are stealing someones ANIMATION and REUPLOAD it you are a Thief and break Roblox TOS. Your work is automatically protected by COPYRIGHT. For original Choreographies and Tiktok dances the Creators of that Dance have the right to take down any fanmade uploads of their fanmade animations. This doesnt mean a fanmade animation is allowed to be stolen (sloley for clarification since many alr told me they are allowed to steal my Emotes...) Many of us UGC Creators were victims of stolen Reuploaded Emotes by Groups that make this their living. Let me just bring an example of the BEST SELLING UGC EMOTE CREATOR ON ROBLOX!!!! Wow what an achievement selling allegedly 1.6M Emotes within 2 Months. The Best selling EMOTE UGC CREATOR is a THIEF and a ASSET REUPLOADER. The groups name is "vr'" which is owned by cirtually. A "UGC Creator" that has been sending out false counterclaims on Takedown Request with false info. Also having the audacity to write "all copies will be DMCA" on each emotes like its not a fucking stolen reupload. What did Roblox do about it? Nothing. How long did Roblox have time to do something about it? 2 Months. When did they know? August. I have talked to people working at Roblox. They promised me a action against specific reuploaders ASAP. Its been 3 weeks already and the Best selling Thief has already earned roughly 20Million Robux! Yes about 80k USD and still no consequences. Me and other Creators worked hard on getting this resolved with Roblox back when Public Emotes rolled out and the first Emotes were stolen. To this day we have no idea why its even taking so long to atleast take action on the biggest Thiefs. Isnt it weird someone is counterclaiming every alleged "fake" Takedown Request. Yes you can get verified by being a Thief. Just put UGC CREATOR in your BIO and People will think your work and art is your passion in life. In fact its just a whole lot of bullshit and stealing. I just want yall to know how bad it is if he really made the alleged 20M Robux. Thats 20M Robux STOLEN from ORIGINAL CREATORS 80 THOUSAND DOLLARSSSS many of the copies selling better than the originals. Bot Email Replies from Customer Support. Rejected Removal Requests. ID Verification is BULLSHIT since its not bound to your legal when it comes to receiving DMCA. We are left alone with Roblox giving Thiefs a platform and boosting them on their shit ass algorithm. Top Trending. Best Selling. as if you want people to steal to maximize profit... HELLO???? IS CAN SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS??? ESPECIALLY THIS FUCK ASS. GET HIS DAMN ID NAME AND I WANT A LAWSUIT IDGAF ITS 80 FUCKING THOUSAND DOLLARS @robloxdevrel #PROTECTYOURCREATORS #Roblox #RobloxUGC #RobloxDev
