Re: This is really starting to annoy me.

I agree with this. Art theft should be cracked down upon.

Report all art theft and there will be bans given.

SFRB? I'm a friend of her's.

Yeah, I'm guilty of being a little "evil", but art theft is just plain wrong. D:

Re: This is really starting to annoy me.

I agree. What if someone stole your work and gave you no credit? I'd hate it!

Re: This is really starting to annoy me.

I'm removing banners and pictures from people's signatures if you don't give credit or stole it. If you don't credit the real artist next to/below/above the picture, it's art theft.

What if they were gifts and you knew they would be cool with it?

Re: This is really starting to annoy me.

I agree wholeheartedly Stormy. Art theft also doesn't just pertain specifically to pictures, but also to literature, as literature's a form of artwork, whether it be short stories, novels, poems, etc. I like to draw in my spare time, and also to write, and I'd be furious if my artwork was stolen, so I have the common sense not to do the same. That's what art thieves don't seem to understand, the original artist worked hard on their pieces, and then they go and steal all of that hard work, taking credit for it and not giving credit where credit is due.

Re: This is really starting to annoy me.

I really hate art theft, if someone stole something of mine...god they better run and hide! Some people know how quick my temper is on here...heh, well...you've just scraped the tip of the iceburg.  And a main reason I'd get mad is that I'm VERY sensitive and touchy when it comes to my art, one wrong word and I can pop...same goes for my appearance, but times the art one by 10.

Re: This is really starting to annoy me.

Yes, i think that Art theft is bad. But i also think that if someone just has an artwork in their signature and isnt claiming it as there own, then it isnt art theft.

Re: This is really starting to annoy me.

It all falls under fair use, as long as you are not taking credit for said work and are not posting it when it clearly states "Do not redistribute" on said works.
