Art showing up elsewhere
7 years ago
I just found out there is a site with a bunch of my art on it that I didn't know about. "e621" On one hand, I don't much care, in that extra exposure usually doesn't hurt. And to an extent, posting anything on line means it risks abuse, and I'm willing to deal with that. But that it was done without my knowledge or consent is still a bit of a nasty shot.
There is a DoNOtPost list though that is sort of enforced.
Sadly many think it funny to say "it's easier to apologize than ask."
It's not right, but I can't offer a solution either.
but then i realize, what a lot of people create is what they live off of,
and i don't really have any good answers to the conflict between the two.
like most things in life, its up to the integrity of the person who finds it.
laws only exist because so many people seem to lack this.
i like pinterest. i like that i can right click on something and make it part of what
appears randomly on my computer's screen when i'm not doing something else.
i would never knowingly pay for something from someone who stole it,
or sell anything i didn't create myself.
i just don't have good answers for a world that makes things have to be about money.
it surrounds me, but its not what lives inside me.
if i could live in a world where i could just make things,
and nothing had to cost anything, that is what would feel natural to me.
which i know to most people is probably just weird.
i mean i know there's cost in nature, just not in terms of symbolic value.
i've heard about that place, e-whatever it is, just never got around to looking for it.
same with redit, which i went to see and didn't see anything that interested me.
i like your coyote girls and most of your ideas from the first time we ever ran into each other.
the thing is, i'd still rather have in internet where this sort of thing can happen
then one that was completely controlled by economic interests to where it became just more television,
which is the last thing in hell that would be of any use or interest to me.
Sir, you are a treasure. <3
