He's gonna get wrecked.

What an idiot

Are you a DEViant Richard?

I plan to be a DEVians, since I got some stuff to post.

So, how much money are we talking about, the defenders will be paying if they are found guilty? Just wow..so far 182 people and COUNTING!!

Disabling right click doesn't work for anyone who is determined to copy the works. If you allow people to see your full-res art, they can still download it. Better solutions are to only release low-res versions or use large watermarks.

And it's over double the price the original artists want for the largest available sizes. Cute.

What I wonder about is how people couldn't tell that this "artist" was a fraud. even looking at the small thumbnails there, you see many different styles of drawing people. Artists have a style, and that style is like a signature. If you're really good you can create in 2, 3 or a dozen styles. But 182 styles? No. No frakking way.

I mean, please. These artists give you PC desktop art for free. And if it's ZOMG amazing and you just gotta have it, you can get 12"x18" for 20 bucks or less. But I guess you steal from the poor because the rich have better lawyers, right? .

It's good to see him getting called out for this. While not an artist myself, I have had the displeasure of having some of my writing plagiarized, which is a pain in the a** to get resolved. To this day, I still cringe when it gets misquoted or misused, but I (thankfully) haven't seen it happen in a while.

Protecting intellectual and artistic property is a pretty difficult endeavor, especially in the last ten years or so. I sometimes wish we could go back to the old "steal my things and I am entitled to break your bones" days....
