Unban Official Art?

Posted under Tags

Apologies if this is the wrong category, or if this has been discussed before. Fully expecting a hard "no" or "impossible" here, but, as the title says, could a case be made to allow official_art—or more specifically promotional_art, tachi-e, and other in-game art—of banned_artists?

I realize this may be a nightmare to moderate and may take extra coding to make exceptions for the tags. However, with nearly all (I realize some are directed by their lead artist) of these games and anime, the rights and permissions to redistribute/repost the art are no longer under the artist's purview and are the responsibility of the company that had commissioned the art.

Hello. Before this thread gets nuked by the mods or something, there's actually topic #16532. It's a proposal that's been floated around mostly for the same legal grounds (the artist legally has no say over something they were commissioned to do for a company art) and I've also lobbied for it to happen especially since I'm also a practicing artist but it hasn't gained much traction for several reasons, coding is one such reason. The recent fallout due to the AI art issue is another reason why we haven't acted on it for now.

Oh, how did... that not show up in my searches. Odd. Thanks for pointing me over to the topic!
