Tubing is taking the background out of an image so you are left with one item. ie......you have a picture with a forest scene, in that scene there is a deer drinking out of the stream that flows across the bottom of the picture. You want to 'tube' the deer.......so you take out all the background and the stream so the only thing left is the deer......the tube!!
Tubers have no claim to anything. Quite possibly they've done it illegally too as if they'd read the artists TOU, they'd have read that you cannot rip the image apart!! Some seem to think because they've tubed it, they own it!! Not so. ; quote
Hi Vickie,
You have given lots of sound advice about the copyright regulations, but I think your description of tubes and tubers is maybe a bit harsh.
I am sure there are lots of tubers that use legitimate sources for their work, and to group them all in such a way is a bit prejuditial.
Also many digital scrapbook designers use extracted items as part of their kits and most take the copyright legislation very seriously.
I know there are a lot of ignorant or unscruplous people out there and you should be very careful where you obtain your graphics, but your comments did seem to paint all Tubers are dubious characters.
