Now refusing to post on InkBunny

by arulin

I just had a very interesting Admin communication wanting my own homebrewed models, LORA, and prompts to be publicly released.

To that I say : I refuse to post anything on this platform again.

Admins of Inkbunny, if you find this rude, fine. I do not care and refuse to release my source code, my IP, or anything I have worked on including all processes.

Your platform is not getting my work, I have been fine tuning my models for 3 years and put 5000$ into my rig and learning AI. I never released my source codes for the 27 years I have been in IT for protection of my works. Thank you for reminding me why I refuse to do so.

Now here on for Inkbunny, I sent a GDPR request of removal of all three pieces of my work from your backups and main site. You want to toss law around, then I will comply with the same action.

Let me correct a few... misconceptions from the PM thread which led up to this.

First off, Inkbunny isn't an LLC. It's not incorporated - in the USA, or elsewhere. It has no employees; just volunteers, including me. Nobody is making money off of Inkbunny except those offering commissions... which we don't allow for fully AI-generated work.

We don't require prompts etc in order to steal your work. Rather, we want to ensure people didn't, say, slip an artists' name or an undisclosed private LoRA with their work, violating one of the policies designed to protect artists as explained at the above link. Think "reproducible builds". If we check and it comes out differently, we know something's up - probably something that other members would object to.

More generally, though, Inkbunny supports AI art as a non-profit, share-alike manner - basically, to share fun content and help each other create it, regardless of how much they spent on their rig. For AI art, it's an open-source platform; we don't support proprietary use-cases. There are other sites which do - though not many furry art communities, for the reasons mentioned above - and you're welcome to use them for it.

As for the specific files in question, they were deleted from our production server by the volunteer you were talking with, it syncs nightly with our backup servers. You could probably access them via our other content caches; but without knowing the filename and ID, nobody except those who already loaded them directly and have them in their history would be able to. I have no idea what they looked like myself.

As addressed to the unprofessional Support Team here at Inkbunny....

"

Here, I have done the work for you and Inkbunny Admins:

https://webapps.dol.gov/elaws/whd/flsa/docs/volunteers.asp

and

https://www.williamsparker.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/...

You are a customer support representative of Inkbunny, to whom is not allowed to be unprofessional.

My partner is a Discord Tester as a volunteer. She is upheld to the standards of a paid employee of Discord on and off of the platform. The same laws apply to Inkbunny.

You are NOT pulling the wool over my eyes, I am in the right to request your unprofessional behavior to question.

Your "company / organization" if not registered maybe in violation of laws if you have over 15 members in your staff; first and foremost. One to which I will bring to question with the treasury of your state. Since your content system is in Texas, as such based in Texas, you are certainly questionable of tax evasion and running a non-registered organization. I will be contacting the State Treasury.

Number two, you do not have the right to be crass and dictate. I made legal request of my works to be expunge and Do Not Post legal request; in turn requesting a full GDPR request as a dual citizen. This request will resolve all ToS and my legal rights, ones that Inkbunny must comply to as a private entity (maybe illegally running). To which I got a very unprofessional response from Inkbunny customer service team, continued threats from. One to which I have addressed with admin@inkbunny.com, and will address in the morning with the BBB, FCC, and FTC while here in America.

Number three, since you are not a registered non-profit in the United States with likely more then 15 members of this organization to whom are volunteers and as a mandatory reporter of the US government I am complied to report Inkbunny to the Treasury of State. This interaction has been documented.

Honestly, you really should get a lawyer to look at your organizations size, charter, and follow the laws of the United States since your organization is in non-compliance from the laws governing a non-profit, one that is requesting donations. The mere fact I am going to report Inkbunny to the FTC and FCC over the misbehavior of your Support Team will red flag Inkbunny.

I refuse to open source my models or my code, pardon the ToS violation but your organization has done worse. I believe you are committing tax / business violations now.

@ arulin

I never said Inkbunny was a non-profit. I said nobody's making money, i.e. a profit. The one year it did technically make a profit (because we had a big donation drive) was 2014. That year I was in the USA for most of the year, so I filed as a resident for tax purposes and paid the appropriate sums to the IRS and SSA, as well as UK taxes for part of that year and subsequent years. All above board.

Inkbunny leases a server in Texas, which does not deliver donation solicitations (they come from the main server), so the following which I believe you are referring to does not apply for multiple reasons:

"

(E) derives receipts from the sale, lease, or rental of tangible personal property that is located in this state or owns or uses tangible personal property that is located in this state, including a computer server or software to solicit orders for taxable items, unless the seller uses the server or software as a purchaser of an Internet hosting service;

I have a passing familiarity with US and UK labo[u]r law. Our volunteer agreement doesn't require anyone to do anything for any amount of time, unlike another furry site where I pointed out numerous issues with trying to get US citizens (specifically) to work defined minimum hours for no pay.

Redbubble actually has us as an Australian account for legacy reasons so I guess you will have to look up their laws, too. Not that I can actually get money out of them nowadays because I don't have an Australian bank account. 😼

No "business license" is required to operate as a sole trader in the UK. You just have register for self-assessment and file your taxes. The US equivalent is Form 1040 Schedule C. There are things like registering for VAT or paying employer NICs that may apply in some situations but don't here.

To be honest, I'm not sure why you're hell-bent in kicking up a fuss when we're in agreement: You don't want to use IB for your work. We don't want to host your work, and removed it from our servers.

@ GreenReaper

Oh so you admit you are a for profit, over 15 members in your unregistered organization which you have misrepresented in the US and UK, and using volunteer labor to avoid taxes. Thank you very much for the discussion. Since you have a presence here and in other countries, I am sure they are unaware of your practices.

I will host my own pictures on my on-prim NAS, that not an issue and happy we agree not to host on your shady service. That not the point anymore. Maybe have a discussion with your un-paided illegal employees about customer service practices so that folks like me do not start digging into your business practices.

Good Day

P.S It might be a little too late for that talk with your illegal in the US use of unpaid labor.

I have a mandatory agreement with my government. I would say this constitutes as such things that I am suppose to report. Cheers. Oh, I did document the interactions.

Good day.

I have documented the donation page and it seems a large number of contributors to which would need to be reported to the IRS if the sum is over 600$. Highly likely.

Since there is no LLC, non-profit status for Inkbunny and the professionalism is crass... I think my case and point is made clear. I have video documentation and proof of the violations from

GreenReaper

. I will start the investigation process in the morning. Clearly this will be twisted as some sort of ban but I have the proof I need.

If the request would have been handled with grace I may have over looked and maybe helped get the proper registrations for this organization but after the crass responses I received I am complied to report this.

Come now,

https://www.redbubble.com/people/inkbunny/shop

You are not a non-profit and in England running a business without license, in either the UK or the US. Your admin and mod team is counted at 14 (with you that 15 +) and you would need a business license in the UK and US. As well as a non-profit status that your coinbase profile states you are not and not counting your volunteers which is clearly a violation of federal labor laws in the United States. I am sure the UK has similar laws. Since you have a business relation and point of sells with RedBubble that is a registered business in Virginia, reporting taxes to the IRS under your name (if they are legit).

Yea, the IRS and tax division of the UK would have you as a for profit with over 15 members...Full C2C taxes... Yea, it not looking great.

Yea, I got what I need.

Yea, I got what I need. Here in the US , only non-profits that are registered can use non-paid volunteers. This is not a non-profit.
