I'm not interested in spending half my life chasing fuckwits who have no idea what 'copyright' means, nor can they guess why manipulators put their name on a picture.
those of you who make images may understand me when I say this. those who don't, probably not. even people who are newbies in this section of art might have no idea what it means.
manipulators claim their stuff for a reason, like Mozart or Picasso, or even arrsistable, put their names on their paintings so they can claim the work as theirs, and so the artist can be easily identified by a viewer of the painting. writers copyright their work so that it won't be ripped and put in another book. bands and solo artists copyright their music too.
so how is it any different, do you think, when manipulators put their name, their signature on their pictures?
do you know how much it infuriates us when our signatures are disregarded? do you know how pissed we are when a kid with no life decides they want to call the picture theirs instead of ours? do you know how fucking annoying it is when they rip the text off your image and replace it with shoddy, crap text of their own? would you throw paint all over a finished painting, ruin a library, destroy a production? I think not.
some people are so shallow to bother thinking about the many hours manipulators put into making images for you to VIEW at your pleasure, not copy, edit, claim as yours or use without our written permission. it is NOT your prerogative to use any of these images we put on deviantart without our consent. have you not noticed that artists are starting to die out because of the havoc caused every time someone steals their work?
it's pathetic, it's disgusting.
grow up, get a life, stop stealing, because guess what, it's against the law. and you'll always get found out sooner or later.
I'm speaking for the whole community on deviantart; it happens in all fields of art.
if you see anyone using anyone's artwork that you recognise on a site, contact that artist immediately.
thankyou,
