i see why copyright's a biggie

i dunno if anyone would feel this way but i do.
sometimes you take very good fotos.
or u write something great.
and u go "wow thats amazing and original."


but then ppl borrow your work.
sometimes to pass it on as their own.
or to just use it for whatever purpose.

the horrible part is when credit should be given.
ive seen so many photographers deal with their work not being credited even when they've asked to be credited. or writers whose exact words/story is stolen. it's like you basically gotta pay to be protected in this now.

sure ppl replicate a lot.
but it's wrong to take the exact work from an artist and go "yeah i did this."
and then to be praised for it.

its happened a few times to me in my lifetime.
and yes i get very irked by this.
i still cant believe there are ppl out there who do this.
it's like being ultimately fake.

but karma comes around.

it's not super easy to do something great.
and if some ppl cant do it.
they'd rather just steal it from you.

this issue is not just for me but for other artists out there too.
it's sad. you just wanna self-express sometimes and ppl want to steal ur self expression.

fuckers.
