Re: Art Theft
If there is one thing i hate as an artist is theft of work. A person who puts in many painstaaking hours of hard work on a piece and then has it ripped from them by some unscroupulous thief who claims it for themselves deserves all the protection the law has to offer. THEFT IS THEFT END OF STORY. As a concensious artist working in 3D now i always refference any objects used back to the orriginator. The layout and design may be my idea, but the content may be some one elses. It is good manners to ask permission to use any objects or orriginal content when creating a piece of art. Where the piece is for commercial gain then the orriginal artist MUST BE CONSULTED AND PAID THEIR DUES. I create art for all and ask nothing in return, but i draw the line at art theft by others for profit. Warrior deserves payment for ay monies earned from the sale of imagery used in this fashion END OF STORY.
