BEWARE OF A FALSE COPYRIGHT CLAIMER 🧵

Twitter user @/HellaHeckinGay (softbarkz here) falsely DMCA'd my partner's sona and claimed that it is a "rip off" of theirs.

Smooch, @tundrasugar.bsky.social's sona, has existed for some time now. Lovecore isn't just for you.

More info in alt texts!

The upper left corner has a fursona named "Smooch". The character is a 2 foot tall demon "imp" character inspired off of the rubber hose style but with a twist of lovecore. They have a long cat-like tail, light pink markings that go up to their elbows and knees, as well as darker pink swirls on the knees and cheeks. They have a heart shaped marking on the face, and a pink bow collar colored the same as their pink markings, and a golden bell. The eyes are dark purple, as is the nose, with the classic rubber hose eye style. The upper right corner has a fursona named "Zero", which is a 3 foot tall red border collie with a white facial marking and stomach that stretches down to the inner thighs. The pawpads are pink with a light pattern. The head is a saturated red, as is the tail, but the body color of the design is a dulled red. There are a total of 7 hearts on the stomach of the design, and then continue onto the inner thighs. The design has a black nose. The eyes are a type of heterochromia, with the eyes on the left of the reference sheet displaying black with a pastel pink heart pupil. The right eye is pink, with a black heart pupil. They have a magenta colored collar with a star shaped name tag. Both characters have small wings. Both characters are different enough that the average person would not confuse them. The image is a cropped screenshot of a DMCA claim that both OP (Moth hippie) and his partner (Tundra Sugar) received that falsely claims copyright to a design they did not create. In the description of the DMCA, it is quoted as "Original digital illustration of my fursona: a red lovecore border collie with darker red hair and eyebrows. It has a white, heart-shaped marking on the face, a body that is Indian red coloring with white down the belly drawn by me." This is false, as the image they claimed is not their character, and none of the claimed images were created by them. There are then links to 7 different links, 5 belonging to OP's partner, and 2 belonging to OP. The "links to original works" section is left blank. The description of infringement is quoted as "The users' profiles posts contains artwork that is a derivative of my fursona, including exact patterns, and distinguishing features. The user did not request permission. This use is unauthorized and infringing my copyright, which is pending registration." All is incorrect, as a pending registration of copyright does not go back and overwrite things created before that copyright. The average person will not confuse these two characters.
