Dr. Comet's art

What is his, like, policy on his art. Since I know we can't post it here, I was wondering
1) Can we just not post it here?
2) Can we not post it here because he doesn't want anyone other than himself distributing it?
3) Other reason?

I've come across a user on YTMND, while moderating a lineup of sites, which has a few Dr Comet sites, etc., and if he would like them removed, I can take care of it. Also, if he has a site or email or something I'd be more than happy to contact him.

Thanks

It's not postable both because Dr. Comet has been added to the DNP list and because his art is commercially available.

Dr. Comet, because his art is commercially available (ie: he'd like people to pay to view it), doesn't approve of redistributing of his art or posting it anywhere. That's why he's on the DNP list--he charges for his art and redistributing it means a lot of people won't even consider purchasing his CDs (why buy it when you could view it for free?).

Alright. I'll take the liberty of deleting the user's sites.

There are three types of images that Dr. Comet draws:

- oekaki: these are usually small, have a filename that has OB in it somewhere, are usually quite small and sometimes pixely, due to being drawn with the mouse. they are usually only signed with a stylized comet or a small bomb with a star.
-- these are freely available and probably fine for being posted anywhere.

- web images: images that are available on his website, http://www.kurumi.sakura.ne.jp/~kemono/html/menu.htm . these are usually screen size and always censored if sexual. most carry his url.
-- these are freely available and probably fine for being posted anywhere.

- cd images: these come from his CDs. they are either censored on the jap cds or uncensored on the american CDs. they come in different sizes for prints and different screens, usually: 800, 1024, 1280, 1600.
-- these are no-no anywhere, due to coming from commercial sources.

Fchan has him on dnp courtesy of jason canty, who has done some translations of comet cds and also because it is not easily possible to differ between web images and cd images and i do not feel like buying all his cds just to be able to make that distinction.

Comet's "do not post my art" is a pile of hypocrisy, since most of his characters are other people's works.

Krystal, Bokko, Bagi, etc.

Please stay on-topic in threads. If you want to discuss his usage of characters read up on the laws in his country and also in the country where this server is hosted and most importantly, make a new thread about it.

And of course there are sketches.

Just two notes:
1) It may be constituted as fair use: It doesn't seem to affect the commercial value of said characters. (given that the target audience of the CDs are likely to already be commercially interested in other products containing said characters) (now, if they were to be distributed without checks and balances, there may be potential commercial ramifications)
2) If assuming that it does not indeed fall under fair use, then you aren't allowed to distribute it anyway. (along with a lot of other images around here, but I'm assuming that point 1 is correct)
