Shut up, Fernando.

Quote from: Coal;1306148No, really, warn him, be serious

If FU warns him first, the kid will have time to make it seem like the claim has no base. He may beat FU to the teacher to tell him/her that FU has it out for him, and is creating fake deviantart pages to get him in trouble on purpose. If FU goes straight to the teacher, the kid is put on the spot and is unable to formulate ideas like that as effectively. The kid might just tell the teacher that FU is harassing him.

Yeah, I feel like I should warn him.

Art is his field, and the thing is he's actually good at doing shit at Illustrator. At least, fairly good. His concepts just don't seem to be in line, so he steals them from other people. But yeah, I feel like I should warn him before getting him expelled.

Man, you guys are harsh mofo's.

If he cant actually make art why are you sparing him?

I'm not gonna' lie, one of the reasons I don't want to tell him is I don't want to give him a chance to make up some bullshit to explain himself. We had an assignment to make a brochure for a company, and he turned in one and the teacher said, "Yeah, but this is old, right?" Turns out he turned in a two-year old brochure made by someone else that is used in a department on our campus. However, he managed to convince the teacher that, "he was just showing her that example to contrast with what he's going to do to change it." B'okaaay Fernando.

Boomstick, that was hilarious.

Can he kill you if he knows you have it out for him?

I would suggest warning him, but he may turn it around and try to get you expelled, so when push comes to shove, you might just have to tell the teacher.
If you really feel bad about it, you could always request that the teacher warn Fernando himself that he knows and that Fernando is under threat if he keeps it up, but I'm not so sure the teacher would be willing to do that.
Also, if you tell the teacher, make sure you have proof, first.

And believe me, he will. Maybe you should tell the teacher, but insist to him/her that you think he should be harshly warned and credit for the assignments he stole should be taken away, but you don't think it's necessary to expel him. There's a slight chance the teacher might do just that.

He looks like this:



So yeah, probably.

I'd just not bother him unless you know your teacher is one that can keep it anonymous

hmm? What, seriously?

Quote from: Orangina Clock;1306165I'd just not bother him

Doing nothing about it is a very, very bad idea. If he keeps this up in the job world, he could end up with severe legal action on himself. Having it exposed while he's still young gives him the opportunity to get back on his feet later.

I wouldn't get involved at all. It's not your business, really.

If someone downloaded your flashes off NG and started passing them off as his own, would you want us to stay out of it instead of defending the fact that they're yours?

Quote from: Misanthrope Antelope;1306166hmm? What, seriously?

Yeah I might have actually LOL'd.

And yes, I have a nagging feeling I should get his ass in troubaaal, but I don't want to get him expelled. Perhaps if I tell my graphics teacher (who is somewhat in love with him) she'll just fail him and tell him to cut the bullshit.

Make it clear to her that that is what you want to happen as opposed to expulsion.

Be like sam fisher

Good plan

fisher

Not doing anything means that he'll get away with it, that will not do. So the only other option is some sort of anonymous warning. You could also just make him do said copyrighted work again.
