Would you believe it? While I was browsing through dA, I came across a wonderful picture that I really admired, and then I discovered that it was made by somebody else! Meaning that person had (quite recently) stolen that picture, and is now taking the credit for himself!
Even though it's not my work that was stolen, I still find it hard to believe that some people would actually have the nerve to do such a thing. When are they going to learn that making off with someone else's work (something that the artist spent hours on, even days and weeks, and possibly months on) is bad? A little bit of honesty never did anyone any harm. And it wouldn't kill you to at least try to draw something yourself -- WITHOUT stealing from someone else.
See, this is exactly the reason why I watermark my pictures (with a couple of exceptions), and why I keep telling everyone over and over and over again to NOT steal them or reproduce them without asking me first.
For heaven's sake, people, what is it going to take to get the message across? Stealing is wrong, period. It doesn't do you any good; it doesn't do the other person any good; it doesn't do anyone any good. End of story.
P.S. If anyone responds to this journal entry, kindly refrain from swearing, or insulting anyone. You can get yourself banned that way, if you're not careful. I do like to hear from you, and I am genuinely interested in your opinion -- but I don't care to hear (or read, in this case) the profanity. All right? Good.
