Something's been bugging me...

General
I am more noble than you? And you are more noble than me?
I've heard what happened to 
rukis and it just bothers me on how fans hounded on her (she's a lady, right? o.o Correct me if I'm wrong) because I think at one point she was thinking of stopping her great Cruelty comic. I'm not talking about the ones who showed that they really cared and respected her feelings on this, I'm talking about the whiners, bitchers, and assholes.
"WELCOME TO THE INTERNETZ!" doesn't exactly make things better. Yes, its the truth stuff is pirated/copyrighted everyday but it doesn't mean you should be a complete douche about it. Makes your image look bad and possibly lose your chances of getting laid. Ever heard of karma? It DOES come back to bite you on the ass! Maybe not tomorrow, or the next day, month or year, but I do know from personal experiences that it does work and it.is.a.bitch.to deal with. (And for those of you who "never had to deal with karma", think of it this way...you're gonna die sooner or later in the future.) And I really hope a ton of shit goes down on whoever/whatever pirated her comic.
I feel helpless right now. One side of my brain is going "what can you do? *shrugs*" and the other side is going "YOU CAN DO A LOT YOU STUPID BITCH!!!" I don't wanna bug her either because she's gettin so much love that the haters are drowning and I really wouldn't know what to say myself...
But this is the kinda thing that's got me scared to post my work. You can't put watermarks on stories (...can you?) and they say putting copyrights at the end will help (i.e: This story, characters, etc. is © to <put name here> and can be reached at <put e-mail here> and <put username here>), but I feel that all that does is let fans either send comments, flames, etc. and let you know if your work has been seen somewhere else other than on the site where it was first posted. Then what do you do other than sending angry, threatening e-mails? That doesn't stop them...I'm thinking about getting my work copyrighted or something so if that does happen, I can fuck people over..
But yeah, people, if the artist/writer is already having a hard time dealing with stolen work, don't just pile shit on him/her. It's immature, inconsiderate, and it makes me wanna hunt you down, find you, and beat you into a coma with a metal baseball bat then rape you while you're still in a vegetative state and/or run you over with my car and probably still rape you while you're dead...

But haters gonna hate. I mean really if it was that simple to fight pirating the movie and music companies, who have the money to actually do something about it, It would have been annihilated by now. It's a very hard thing to fight.
Ironically, the people pirating her work are likely very big fans. But that's the joys you get to put up with when you try to sell porn. A large portion of people out there just Will Not pay for porn. See I don't draw too much porn, and when I do I don't charge for it unless it's a commission, in which case I only care if the commissioner pays. The rest of the world can fap all they like it to for all I care, I've already for my money. ...those.. few and far between commissions..
:.(
All in all, if she wants to make real money from her porn work she should do commissions and just commissions. You don't make money by selling a porn novel. Not in the furry fandum. A online community consisting of cavedwellers who still suck at the tit of their parents their entire lives with no social life or job with a habit of looking at by far the most freely available porn of any community.
I will never understand how any porn artist in this community makes Any money.
But I wouldn't worry much about people stealing your work. Unless you suddenly become the next twilight writer, And sweet Jesus I hope to god not, you don't have enough e-fame to be stolen from to be honest Rai. Hell even I don't. I don't think I've ran into even one instance were something of mine was stolen/traced/pirated and I've been making things for years.
People only tend to 'pirate' things that cost money. Long as you never charge for it the worry that someone will steal it drops dramatically.
