General | Posted 19 years agoIt's been like, ages since I got any art of Roj.
I'm like, broke, and like, unemployed again. So, anyone up for drawing ANYTHING of Roj? It doesn't matter if you don't, but any takers? HE'S CUTE! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!

Am I an asshole? Y/N/Maybe
General | Posted 19 years agoAm I an asshole for commissioning someone and not wanting them to put my commission on an Art CD to which they are going to make money from?
Alright, I'm wanting to set this straight. I've gotten myself into an argument on FA simply over bitching about "Art Piracy". Essentially, I can't give a rats ass about pirating Art CDs and shit from Pay Sites. Why? I find it stupid that when an artist decides that either Commissions are too tiresome OR that Donations don't cut it, that they make their site a Pay Site and charge everyone to view their art. I find it extremely snobbish, and just about all the time, the art isn't worth it.
Also, I have no problem with downloading Art CDs and such. The problem I have is paying for them at ususally $20/each when I can wait a week after a con and download them.
The reason? I'm not paying anyone a DIME if I am required to do so to see art of anything other than my character. I will only pay someone if I have commissioned them, or if I'm feeling genorous and donating something to them. I have no problem whatsoever donating to someone (and I've yet to throw any money to Kahvie because of my current money situation, but I will soon! <3) or commissioning them if the price is right (I'm still contemplating commissioning Gideon). But, I DO have a problem being charged to view something that is not of me.
I don't buy porn, so why the fuck should I pay a site to view it? Why in God's Green Earth do these fucking uppity artists charge people $5/month to view their shitty art, and then scream "THIEVERY" when I had no intention on paying them a fucking dime? They aren't losing shit, because there was no money to begin with. The art is already made, people have already paid them via subscriptions, so why the fuck do you label me as a thief?
The ONLY way I can be labeled an "Art Thief" is if I take your shitty ass art and say I drew it.
Take into consideration these things:
* If I commission you (Pay you), I would expect that this transaction is final, and continued use of it to make you money would be prohibited.
* You would still obtain all rights to said image, but it owuld be against my wishes if you put it on an Art CD only to make more money from it.
* If you were to use it on your site (odds are, if I commission you, you don't own a paysite for your art) I wouldn't give a rat's ass. I wouldn't care if you posted it to your VCL, FA, or whatthefuckever Art site account. I don't care if you make money indirectly because of it (someone commissions you because of said image). I just have a problem with you "re-selling" my commission to someone.
So, am I an asshole for thinking like this?
