Like, to hell with complicated terminology and online legal courtroom drama, seriously. There doesn't have to be a big hoo ha here; I'm not interested in any big time debate on fair use or whatsoever. I'll lay it straight and simple: around these parts, it's perfectly legal for them to be dicks if the pussy's theirs.

If someone comes up with a concept or image or jutsu or whatever by themselves, it's their baby, they can keep it; and they should be allowed to decide what to do with it, or who uses it. Now if you like their concept(s) and wanna implement them, you ask them if you wanna use the said concept(s). If they say yes, you use it (and cite the source, if you want to be extra courteous, or if the person requests that in exchange). If the user rejects your request, so be it, move on. It's a matter of simple courtesy lol.

Bottom line, if someone makes something, they can do whatever they want with it. Their baby, their rules. Your baby, your rules. No bullcrap, just common, drama free courtesy.
