    I actually wanted to pull this out and discuss this because this actually isn't correct.  This is a common misconception in a lot of art communities, people assume because they paid for it they own it outright and have legal control over it.  When you buy art, you're buying the right to use the art, not the copyright of the art!  The artist of an art piece always retains 100% intellectual rights to their art, custom or premade!  

     

    There are only a few exceptions to this, such as if the artist legally agrees to diminish their rights as part of a contractual agreement, and this can only be enforced in writing.  This is usually a lengthy process and not many artists do this unless they are creating art for brands or companies, and these contracts typically have the artist being paid anytime the art is used for something new.

     

    The artist still has full rights and can legally revoke your usage rights to the art at any time, though most only do this if you've violated a rule or guideline they typically have for people who purchase their art to use.


    I initially thought reselling/ trading was okay because the commissioner owns the character until i read this. I should change my ToS real quick djsjsjd.

     

    what i also learned from this is since you’re buying for the rights to use and not the copyright then reselling would result to copyright infringement (correct me if i’m wrong)
