THIS IS GODDAMNED RIDICULOUS.

OKAY.
SO.
I posted a YCH a week ago. I thought it was nice and would sell.
But nobody bought it.
So I deleted it and reposted it tonight WHICH I THOUGHT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO.
SO ALL OF A SUDDEN I START GETTING ATTACKED SAYING I COPIED SOMEONES ART BECAUSE THE POSES WERE SIMILAR.
Obviously I have no way of proving that I had my piece up first because I deleted it.
So I proceeded to get bashed as being an "art thief" when I did NOTHING WRONG.
Thoughts/opinions? Help?

People generally don't understand copyright law (it's a very grey area at best) and they don't seem to understand that if you post it... It isn't copyrighted.
You can't copyright a pose. You can't copyright a color. You can't copyright a fur pattern... >.< It's insane how much the word copyright and theft is thrown around.
A quick overlay would show that these two are similar only in the fact that the woman is on top. (But isn't that how it usually goes?) The bodies aren't similar. There is no defined faces, bodies, etc.
A 69 is a 69... There is only so much you can do with it... Everyone is running out of poses and how to show things. So, a million white knights are going to go on crusades and witch hunts every other week.
Don't take it too hard, and don't let it affect your art!
