Art thieves must lack a cerebral cortex...

Just a mini blurb derived from the confusion I'm currently feeling over such matters...

Now I already did a previous journal (My opinions on referencing, copying, and fans)
if you wish to know a little bit of my thoughts on that...

But I just don't get it.

When people pose and steal to troll, that's one thing. They're just being immature and bored more or less among other possible reasons.

But when people pose and steal identities and work to gain popularity, make friends, or get a name...

Have you no shame.....?


And what then, you make friends, and sooner or later maybe you guys become besties and you'll have to tell them who you really are (and aren't) if you truly consider them a friend. What then? Maybe some are still kind and forgiving enough to let it slide, but how many would still respect you for lying about yourself just so people like you?

Just food for thought, I'm not going into super-rage-mode over art thieves though I deal with a few every so often and more than I'd like. I don't have a problem once they're banned or they realize their mistakes because I have ended up being acquaintances with those who previously trolled or stole from me.

But still. I used to copy and trace when I was like 10... 11 ? But I wouldn't claim it as mine, much less repost and claim to be the artist themselves.

Everyone has their reasons for everything, but sheesh. Are you seriously that daft to think that the original artists won't find out sooner or later? It's the internet, everything's connected whether you're on a small or big site. You will be found.

Okay well I'm only giving this indirect message out to sort of calm my mind down from trying to make sense of such lack of logic.


If you happen to come across this journal (one of many written by many others) and are planning to steal something, you have been blessed with information that will help you succeed in life but I suggest you call the emergency line and report a lack of brain. Don't even think about complaining if you get flamed at for reposting work that isn't yours. I don't support flaming but I don't support you at all.

This is very true. Next time I see someone stealing art from one of my favorite artists, I'll specifically send them a link to this journal and tell them to read it completely. Art thieves are a major problem and I'm really sad about it.
