I don't know if this exactly the right place to post this. This was a custom minifigure design I made last year. http://strangelyscott.deviantart.com/art/The-Amazing-Lego-Spider-Man-314229526 Today I found this: As you can see it utilizes the torso and arms of my design, with some slight cropping around the edge of the arms. Now I always use a creative commons license and I do allow alterations of my work, specifically when it's in relation to a character whose copyright I do not own. Usually I'm flattered when someone uses my work, but this time I actually feel a bit angry. I didn't realize it at first, but it finally hit me that it makes me angry because they took the torso of my design slapped on a new head and legs and try to pass it off as a "Fish Design." I don't mind people using my work, but it does bother me that this person is trying to pass it off as their own. So I was wondering if anyone else had any similar experiences with this? Even though my creative commons license allows re-mixes should I be a bit angry if a person doesn't give credit or tries to lead people to believe that they made it themselves? Part of me is flattered, but the more I look at that person's logo slapped on that picture the more I feel angry about it. I'm somewhat reconsidering what type of license to use on my work in the future.
