Why am I surprised?

[dana_chosenart]

These days, most fanartists has run into their own thieves in one way or another. Sometimes it ends well and sometimes the thief turns into a stalker (*waves to my stalker*). Usually they only repost the work on different generic sites which doesn't matter much compared to the fact that others either use cafepress or ebay to make a profit on the

I saw you mention this on Twitter, and was pretty pissed off when I first read about it. However, like you I'm pretty much thinking why am I so surprised. I'm pretty sure this isn't the 1st time this has happened, nor will it be the last. It just really sucks for those of us who work hard to create pretty fanart to just have it stolen. What takes the cake is people like this though, that are actually out there trying to make a profit on it.

Exactly, the profit making just irks me to no end. It's just such a big damn asshatery behaviour that they should be spanked in public by every fanartist they've ever violated and then strung up by their balls and/or toes in the square for everyone to throw rotten food on and then they can just freeze to death. That would be a good month IMO :)

But yeah, I'm right there with you, this is definitely not the first time it happens, it's just the first time someone noticed and voiced the observation. *shakes head*

That is so low!!! Seriously, don't people have a bit of shame? this sort of thing really makes me sad... :(

omg, I completely missed your comment *face!desk* so so sorry!

Sadly no, people mostly just sucks. This is only proof of how much :( You're not alone. I'm going on a new con next month, will be interesting to see if I find more fanart thieves there *sigh*
