Crime
Sometimes I wonder if it's worth the risk of showing my art online. I've read so much about art theft that it scares me. It's not like I expect people to actually steal my art since it isn't that great for now, but... It still makes me wonder if I really want to spread my wings into this path. I know it's the best way to make something out of it. If I want to have a sort of business, online is my best option. Yet... I don't know. I see artists fighting for their rights over their own art and it breaks my heart. They shouldn't even waste their time on this.
It's crazy how far people will go to steal some else arts. Giving themselves all the trouble to hide the watermark and signature using Photoshop or other programs to cover it the best that they can. Then, post it online claiming that this is their creation. Pardon me? Who do you think you are? Who are you to take some else creation, feelings, emotions and efforts and simply say that this is yours?! And after that received all the credit?! These people are idiots, they disgust me. They have no idea how much those artworks are important to the artist itself. If they admire the work so much, post it if you want but don't claim it as yours. Is it so hard to say this amazing drawing was made by this person? I guess it is.
Why am I talking about this now? I just read on deviantART about a guy that took the drawing of a truly talented artist to put on his CD cover. He claims that he made it. Yes, maybe you're the one who changed the colours, added and modified some of it aspect, but the base is the same. Where's the credit? Nowhere. His CD is even available for purchasing. And do you know how the artist discovered it? One of her friend bought the CD.
It's so pathetic.
