Contrition from Dorkly and College Humour for Uncredited Sprite Use
#1
A Twitter thread was trashing my Mario sprites (that Dorkly uses) and the thread caught some fire:

Longtime spriter and pal Tonberry2k went to bat for me and pointed out that my (and many other spriters) work has been used by Dorkly without credit for over a decade:

Tonberry2k was able to get enough people to retweet his concerns and this morning, I got a formal apology from Dorkly in my inbox:

@Dorkly: It has come to our attention that *tons* of our videos use artists’ work w/o acknowledgement or permission. Unbelievably shitty of us, and there really isn’t any good excuse for it. We’re going to be contacting every artist in order to right this wrong.

Quite a ride! I thought I'd share here.
