[Art Theft]
6 years ago
It's come to my attention that someone claims to have given me my account.
I'm not new to the idea of art-theft, and tracers. But to claim that my account is not mine is a grievous and malicious thing to do.
I believe the person in question does not even realize what they are doing, as it is my understanding that they might in fact be very young. And we've all been kids.
However youth does not excuse this kind of behaviour. Since I know the person who did it frequents this site, if you read this, please know that I am not angry. I don't even want an apology. I just want you to stop claiming it as your own, and tell the truth.
For future reference;
You should always ASK an artist first.
And you also have to credit the original piece to the artist.
Say it was a collaboration. Be honest. Because truth will out sooner or later and Likes are not that valuable.
That is all it takes, really. And you will get a yes more often than you think.
[edit] And I only posted this because I need some peace of mind, I intended to not mention it at all. But it is frustrating to think about all the time.
