Actually the artist was pretty reasonable. He was willing to allow free, noncommercial use. But then SCP people started monetizing it. I think the Russians even sold merch. That's when he withdrew permission. It was SCP who fucked up here.The case of SCP-173 is well-known. The artist behind the original image, being a Japanigger, cannot conceive of art made through reuse or recontextualization since copyright is Very Serious Business in the east. I know that there was some effort to make a new picture for the article, which sucked so much that I guess at some point they decided to remove it and just not even have a picture at all.
It really sucks because that article and the image were from one of the original /x/ threads.
