Theres This Thing going on DA, which is called STEALING..

If people have a problem with their works being stolen, They shouldnt be putting it up in public places..

The reason why Im Jotting this down.. is that since past 2 weeks, each time I log onto DA, i see journals, and messages on Stolen Arts.. and I know Its a very Bad thing to Steal.. But as long as theres Internet , as long as theirs Money, people will some how manage to trick their way into making Bucks...
This can never be stopped..
But ACCUSING Innocent people for  Stealing.. is The Biggest Mistake of all...

Now there is this Famous Person on DA..( I dont want to take her Name ) she was accused  of stealing..
Fine... if she stole it .. Its bad...
But if she was INSPIRED, and thought to Create the same, but in her own Version.. That is not called stealing..
THAT IS CALLED LEARNING..
There are Many Self Trained Artists out there , For Example ME...  People Like me who cant afford to take expensive classes .. Get to Learn, by looking at other people's art, Admiring them, Getting Inspired , and making them on their own..


What is the difference between  GETTING INSPIRED/LEARNING AND STEALING??


GETTING INSPIRED/LEARNING -  People working their way into creating arts by looking at arts from other famous people.. These Kind of people should be given as much support as possible

STEALING -  People who copy and paste other works on their profile, Gallery and call it their own is called STEALING .

Soon after  I wrote a Message To the Person who accused this Person On DA for Stealing...
I got a message in return from another ID accusing me for Stealing..
How weird is this?

There are many people here on Deviant art, that were Inspired by me, and created arts like mine.. But In Return I gave them more support that accusation.

I might get Inspired, But I dont steal.. It takes me days.. to paint each strand of hair with my Freaking MOUSE..
and she says I steal.. Grrrrrrrrr..............
If I am Inspired.. I jot it down in my comment box.

If thats the case.. Il be Glad to Leave DEVIANT ART FOREVER..

NO FEATURES TODAY.. IM IN A BAD MOOD .. Grrrrr!! :iconangryplz:

I disagree. Internet cannot be treated like candy shop with free items every day. In this I will never change my opinion. Kids should be educated about copyrights etc. Sorry, there's no shortcut in art.
Second thing - inspiration. Way too complicated subject for one short comment but sometimes it's so damn clear someone just took part of others' works, sometimes it is so blatant it cannot be taken as inspiration. And it's pathetic.
Also if these people posting works they do not have the right to post spent this very time spent on searching for works, on art instead, they would probably get similar effects. But no. There's this thing called "internet-drama-queens" that only desire short minute of fake fame. That's all. They do not support artists because theft is not support. They are arrogant, full of complexes, jealous, lazy kids pretending they mean something.
Originality is overrated. But being honest with your own art - this will always be underrated.
