Annoyed

Okay, since I inadvertantly found 3 different art thieves today.... (today is not my day...) I need to point some things out. No, no one has stolen my art yet. If they have, you'll get a journal with a LOT more cussing in it.

FIRST OFF: Crediting should NOT allow you to post whatever the fuck you want. If it's not your art, don't post it on a fuggin ART COMMUNITY. Saying " LOL I didn't drew dis! But it lookz kool" does not mean you can post it. Here's my rule-of-thumb... If you didn't have permission from the original artist to edit it/ post it... DON'T FUCKIN POST IT. Okay? You know some people don't friggin read the artist's comments, dammit. I mean, it would be insanely stupid if the mods let people post other's art if they credit them. There's no point in that... HONESTLY.

SECONDLY: If I EVER get banned for art theft, here are two things that could of happened:
1. So mofo hacked my account and is posting stolen art
2. some mofo stole my art and the mods banned me thinking I'm the thief (it's happened, man D: )

Thirdly... lol, whut? Okay, here's what I consider art theft:
Recoloring screenshots/other art, tracing over other's art, heavilly referencing a non-generic pose without credit, of course posting someone's art in your gallery, posting screenshots/official art in your gallery (seriously... STOP) , And character theft of all kinds.

Lastly... If you see any of my art anywhere other than my D.A account (my username is musie), or here... it's most likely stolen. If you are unsure, ask me. If you see my art anywhere else, for the love of god, TELL ME.

I'm done :/
