INFRINGEMENT? Why

Sorry this is just plain silly.

Then you appeal, they reinstate, but do nothing else about it, nor tell you what triggered it. Now go figure and have infinite wild guesses what actually is that may, but actually does not, because they would not reinstate otherwise. Rinse and repeat this silly proces of ridiculous hide and seek, until one of the sides become tired and gives up, or eventually figures the trigger.

Sure, i used as title ANIMATOR. Description, JUST ANOTHER FACE. Tags = Beautiful, Beautychaser, animated. I use all the time these tags. And the reason is …i dont want any conflict…

Update.

I did just for proving my ā€œsuspicionā€ a color adaption test.
The test face is the originale takendown face, without picture shown above and a sequence based on changing light and animation (below you see a image). So i made it all BLACK. If it is not takendown, by this change, than i think we agree, color is the cause for takedowns.

And here are the results…

F did put in in draft because due to… another mystique info, conversion failure…
So i come from taken down to put into draft status, BY CHANGING COLOR.

So, i think it is now 100 % clear to me at least, COLORS trigger TAKEDOWNS. Now the question i lay here on the forum, is of course, do you think that is correct, normal, acceptable. I dont think so.

Further, i must add, these conversion failures, AGAIN, no info required for me to know why, i suppose, point to WFF. The platform compatibility info, says all green for WFF. But that is a little misleading in the end, blocking it into draf status for the amentioned reasons.

When i checked off WFF, it went through. But that is not want i want. I want my colors accepted by Facer as the images i used and the color should NOT be for anyone, a reason for any takedown. And publishment for WFF. Of course F can do what it wants, the holy argument will always be, you signed okay on the TOS. Well…probably some game mad AI decided this all true because of CALL OF DUTY. Right.

It seems a upside world to me. F can takedown because of any suspicion. Without detail so that i can adapt or reason perhaps… Me, i have another suspicion. Proof is here. So i guess i have to await the verdict.

To further document what happened, you here see the convicted colors in the sequence i hidden to test color takedowns suspicion.

Here you i checked off WFF.

And here is the so called okay,

I passed the coloured infringement process! I used a trick to do that.
The secret is timing…

:grin: I’m still going to say I seriously doubt color had anything to do with it.

The only time I’ve had a problem with color wasn’t the color itself. It was in a girls watchface and I described the color as Barbie Pink. It was fine until Facer joined forces with the Barbie doll line and that’s when it got removed. I got it back and changed the description to just pink and all has been fine since.

exactly. ā€œInfringementsā€ caught by the auto filter are always word related.

I disagree. Let me tell you why.

The original face, with all orange pictures, was blocked for infringement on CALL OF DUTY copyright, so-called. Without stating what exactly, which needs to be improved, so we can know what to change.

Than i did change those pictures all to black and it passed. The only change was color.
You can see the picture here that i turned black, there is nothing special about it, just a cylinder with a hole, but with a color that ressembles Call of Duty main PR image.

When this was black, it passed. I have documented that here.
In the mean time, i thought why not fool the process and save it with the black image when presented to the infringement process and keep the orange intro.
That passed, also documented above.

Now i thought, maybe, just maybe, F changed something, because if it is the color, there is no possible infringement on copyright or trademark.

Here is what COPILOT says about me asking infringement issue BASED on the image shown above

Thanks for clarifying, Patrick. Based on your description — a Blender-rendered image of a cylinder with smaller cylinders on it, in gradient orange — there is no trademark infringement.

### :white_check_mark: Why You’re Safe

** Trademark law protects symbols, logos, or designs used commercially to identify a brand.*
** A generic cylinder shape, even with gradient coloring and smaller cylinders, is not distinctive enough to be a trademark unless it directly copies a protected commercial design (e.g., a patented product shape or a brand logo).*
** Gradient orange is not a protected trademark unless it’s part of a registered brand identity (like a specific logo or packaging design).*

### :brain: Summary

Unless your Blender image intentionally replicates a known trademarked product or logo, it’s legally safe. You’re working with abstract geometry and color, which are not protected by trademark law on their own.

Now, to conclude, here is what F support wrote me a while ago

Thank you for reaching out. We have updated our infringement detection software to catch some other cases that were brought to us. We are seeing some issues now where faces without infringement are being incorrectly caught. Can you please send info on the face you are experiencing this with? (face id and a screen shot here would be helpful too).
Thanks!

So, they were working on it and perhaps based on all posts here too, adapted perhaps the process. We of course do not know if that happens and what changes…

Anyway, i thought, why not reload the original face again, as it was at the start of this post…

And guess what, it passed. So thank you Facer…

So, i know there were issues as confirmed by Facer, there was a color related problem as proved by my documentation and it was repaired. Also i want to point out the Rusty besides changes words, he changed the color to BLACK. So he suspected it too, in my opinion.

you clearly have put a lot more thought into it than I have :grin:, I can only share my experience and my own insights gleaned from extrapolations from various communications with facer. One thing is for certain, WFF is still in growing pains, and the auto filter is also going through changes, so it’s possible that your issues were also random glitches of which there are plenty. I stand by my view, but that’s neither here nor there. The important thing is you got your face published successfully :slight_smile:
