Ethics Question For Free TF Content - Page 2

DollyBonnie · 07-28-2022

Hey Everyone... need some opinions on this.

The other night I was chatting/RP'ing with a friend of mine. During our chat he said he's been downloading and altering TF fiction. Like, if he finds a story he likes, he will "replace" the main character's name with his name so he in fact gets to read/experience a TF starring himself.

I felt it was a bit problematic (to alter another artist's work); he argued that since he wasn't selling or profiting off it, why not? The stories are there to be enjoyed by readers for free in various places and he's doing that. (Also maybe a bit narcissistic?). But basically he gets away with not paying for a commissioned story. And that's where I was a bit uncomfortable.

What do you all say in the community? Is it okay to save free TF stories and modify them like that? Am I overreacting?
