So now I am pissed. I recently used someone's stock for a photomanip of mine and since I told her it was going to stay on DA she didn't have a problem with it. Until someone posted it on thier website as a banner without my or her permission. Of course someone else told her about it and recognizing it as my artwork she got pissed at me before she realized that I had neither posted it nor given permission for it to be posted.

For all you assholes who steal other people's work. Most of us have are own jobs, pets, kids, whatever and etc... then we come home and draw, manip, take pics of, write or however else we decide to do art with. We don't get paid except for those who sell prints and I'm betting they're not getting rich off it either. Lots of us spend hours or even days, and I've known others to even spend months on our art.

Then some lazy jackass steals it and claims it thier own. The aforementioned ass even complained that since it's on a website I shouldn't get mad for them stealing it. HELLO! It's there because either we want to improve and so we need people to comment or because... did you ever think of this.... we just want someone to say 'good job' or 'nice work'. Fact of life is people like to be appreciated. We work hard to come up with art that can be appreciated. Some of us *like myself* aren't good at much else. I can do art, horseback riding...not much else practical.
