To those who like to take other’s work and post it as if it is their work when it is not. Man, why do they do it? I don’t think that it is that hard to ask permission, I don’t think those guys will eat you guys. Unless… the owner is a cannibal then you might be within reason to be afraid but other than that, please ask them first!
I was just cruising around Facebook and saw one of known artist around my country get art theft by someone who didn’t even ask to use her art. What make this even more sad was that the person who take her art and make a phone case out of it didn’t even bother to check for any watermark or signature on that art! you can literally see her watermark/signature in that phone case. The price for that phone case is not even cheap! With that money I can buy more art supply. Again, the sad thing is that the rightful owner of that art didn’t get any recognition or compensation for using their art!
Then, there are other who will put the tag “my edit” in the original art. I mean, come on! THAT is NOT yours!! Why did you want to edit it? the owner of the original art made it that way for a reason you know! Now, I know this might be discarded because who want to read this type of rant but think for a moment that what you are doing might hurt the original owner of the art that you guys use, re-post, or blatantly take for your “business”. Just credit them, ask them for permission to use their art and compensate them (for those who use it for business), it’s not that hard. Thank you for reading this long rant about intellect property thief who didn’t think before taking what is not belong them. I am sorry if some of you feel some irk or cringe in reading this because grammar is not my forte.
