same with any of my girls. i refuse to have them be used as 'cumdumpsters' for some random person.

it seems to me, that the admins of this website, are the exact same type of people that steal the artwork, claim it and the characters as their own and act as them. That's the only logical explanation I can think of for them to be dragging their feet and defending these art/character thieves.

they just don't seem to give a shit and it's annoying ><

Lately, I have seen numerous issues in regards to the art taken from FA and put on sites like that. In all fairness nothing on the information superhighway aka The Internet is sacred. For all the red flags put up I can say that it is wrong for individuals not associated with the work or author to place the material elsewhere. Those that are site administrators for the yiffy.tk probably want to sweep issues under the rug than directly deal with them, which is really stupid.

Personally, I think the constant pilfering of art from the respective owners on FA is just callous. Though to be realistic, or even fatalist, the minute you put art online be it on FA, DA, or random art site A of B you run the risk of seeing it elsewhere. I believe the artists and commissioners should have the right to say "Time out, that is mine!". Copyright infringement is against the law. The problem is for all the hands you slap or people you get banned, ten more show up and yank things from DA or FA.

You may win small battles but the war is on going. I work for a library and I know that taking copyrighted material for your own gain without regard to the author, or legitimate owner, is grounds for action. I am sorry again for those going through this but you have to understand how huge something like this is. Art theft is a scary and disrespectful thing.

My closing thought is: Instead of grieving for stolen art look for the means to protecting yourself. Take the steps necessary to defend your argument and validate claims. Once you have the knowledge for your grounds, people like those at yiffy.tk will find just how much of a stink they are in for.
