April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

Former StaffWow you're so lucky. I asked the artist if I could upload this and they said absolutely not.

MemberIf an artist puts something on the internet, and it's not on a pay-to-view site, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. He has no case. *A+ in Criminal Justice*

MemberThat's...not in any way, shape, or form true. Do you not understand basic copyright law?

MemberThis is possibly a more moronic discussion than the posting of ponies.
Blasphemy
MemberIt's here, deal with it, fap away. Done.

MemberActually it's pretty blatantly a copyright violation, to anybody that even knows the basics of how copyright law works (as stated).
Though I'm not sure on this site's stance (I assume it's takedown/list by request) so I'll not get into whether it belongs here or not.

Former StaffWell I'm not gonna go posting something that the artist doesn't want posted. That would be disrespectful and reflect poorly on the site as a whole.
Chatin
MemberAll the same the artist can have it taken down, easily, but before then FUCKIN SAVED.
Carry on.

MemberIf you post something on a freely accessible site, after payment for eventual commission is received and the image is then subsequently posted elsewhere, for non-profit.. then there is no violations.
However, if an image is posted on a free site, and then re-uploaded without consent to a paysite, then we can talk about violation. Same goes for the inverted option (original upload to paysite, then re-upload without consent to free site).

Membermy understanding is if you upload something on a free site you immediatly lose all copywrites to it.
that may just be on certain freesites tho, i know it's at least true for photobucket.
