Artist's Comments

A stamp which declares that art theft is a crime!
I made one because I didn't care much for the others.

I also made it after seeing my friends work stolen and posted on other sites without any link or reference to the source.

Amen to that. I like yours better too. It's to the point, not smartass-y AND it's shiny. :D Totally adding this to my small stamp collection.

Art theft sucks. D: Especially when they try to claim that they DID do the work themselves. >_>; It's like WTF. Not funny.

Art theft should be followed by hanging *___*

yeah. I used to monitor art posts on Gaia and I'd find people posting professional level art and claiming it was their work. Then I'd find the source and post it as a reply.
I don't really understand the mentality of that. "I want the adoration, but not have to do the actual work for it." That's so pathetic.
It's okay to admire art, but always ask before using art. That's my stance, anyway. ^^;

Hehe. Yes. Art thieves need to grow up and respect the artist who produced it.

Have you had any problems with theft yourself?

Ah, I used to notice it more often when I had a lot of my art on my domain. Then I'd notice that people would link to my art and use it as MySpace backgrounds, use the character art as RPG characters, collect the fanart and display it some other site. That sort of thing. It was really annoying because none of these people ever would mention the original artist or where they got it from. And I still neglect to put watermarks or URLS or names. XD I really should be more careful.

Yeah, that's pretty disrespectful. Fortunately, and none-too-mysteriously, I haven't had it happen to me more than once ;P
