Well I can say wix.com definitely isn't going to fly in Germany (eg. for the same reason that Mitsubishi's "Pajero" vehicle isn't marketed under that name in latin/US America and Spain) [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Pajero
One potentially alarming sentence in this article is "Wix will open up DeviantArt’s repository of art and creative community to the Wix platform, giving Wix’s users access to that work to use in their own site building." Exactly what do they mean by that? Will it be opt-in? Will it only cover art that's already under Creative Commons? Will be it all Creative Commons? Does a Wix site count as commercial use? I can't i…
For me it means enough, i just deactivated/deleted my deviant art account. This unclearness, plus their in my humble opinion, horribly annoying youtube ad campaign, did not make me ponder about deleting my account for a second.
you're all idiots.
From 2001-2007 I worked on helping build the community at dA. Had such an interesting and unique childhood and teenage years due to deviantART (and IRC). I owe everyone from that time a huge thank you for helping me become who I am today. It lost all it's magic (for me) when Scott and Eric Kolb left. Angelo is an absolutely amazing guy and I really really admire him but it was pretty sad to watch the community die. F…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well that depends on the terms the uploader agreed to. The license displayed for works is, as I understand it, the license that applies to visitors/viewers not necessarily for deviantArt itself.
This line is in the current TOS: > DeviantArt does not claim ownership rights in your works or other materials posted by you to DeviantArt (Your Content). Here's the rest of it: > 4. Copyright > DeviantArt is, unless otherwise stated, the owner of all copyright and data rights in the Service and its contents. Individuals who have posted works to DeviantArt are either the copyright owners of the component parts of tha…
But there might be a clause in there where they claim sufficiently unrestricted license to use that content in any way they chose. Not having copyright does not mean that they don't have license to use the content or let their users do the same.
Yesterday, coincidentally, there was a surprisingly silly and heated discussion in a large Facebook group about whether a person who specializes in Wix can be considered a "web developer." ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/hackathonhackers/permalink/1... ) Hacker News is biased toward DIYing websites from scratch, but WYSIWYG builders like WIx are very important for those who aren't tech-savvy. DeviantArt, in a world…

One thing I discovered about Wix the other day. They are active on their public GitHub repos and they are have very high quality React Native packages!
They've released a few videos on YouTube talking about their move to React Native and their underlying infrastructure.

DeviantArt has been one of the better online hosting services when it comes to their handling of copyright. Buying them won't magically grant additional rights to Wix. Based on the Submission Policy on DeviantArt's site, the essence of the agreement seems to be that as long as the work continues to be on DeviantArt, any DeviantArt site can use it royalty-free under a non-exclusive licence. The artist (or other submit…
