MSN Arttheft Wolfwank! HUZZAH!
So the issue of ignorant twits stealing art online is nothing new, right?

But you gotta love when the thieves get all self-righteous!

In the MSN group Fantasywolfpacks, the art-thievin' for purposes of 'omg this iz mai charrie teeheez!' runs rampant.

THRILL as GlennaorMcFly tries to weasel out on a weak technicality!

BOGGLE as the thievers bleat "OMG it's okay to repost it's just for entertainment!!11111!!!!oneone!1ichi!"

GASP IN AWE as, in response to a very polite but firm 'stop it now, kthx' post, one of our little 'wolves' FLIPS HER SHIT :D

HEADDESK IN INCREDULITY at LadyWolfofWossname's really feeble grasp of copyright law!

There's more kicking around, but those are the most prominent examples of FAP.

Lord. Where on EARTH did the notion that 'art online == free clip-art' come from?

Ruh.

"Are you missing some serious sense in that head of yours. OBVIOUSLY! We clearly stated that WE DID NOT CREATE THEM! God your just screwing this up and putting everyone in a bad mood...Why don't you leave and take your $*^$^%$^% Somewhere else? It says they are pictures of our characters IN NO WAY DOES IT STATE THAT WE SAY WE CREATED THEM...GOD your sad back it up if u really wanna try it."

This she says to the original author.

Do you guyz remember Kyra or I think it was Yuna NO! WhiteYuna? This is a very touchy subject for me, she was my best friend and she died because of cancer and this is th only this I have left of her and I deeply apologize but to kill this is to kill me...

Hey remember that guy, that guy with the blonde hair, no I think it was more of a mousey brown hair, I think he was Ukrainian or something, his name was something like... Tom, or Tim or... no, Ted, yeah, that's it, Ted. WELL HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND AND NOW HE'S DEAD!!!!

These people are awesome. I love them with every fiber of my being. This level of self-centredness and entitlement is of epic proportions.

It seems like every third post mentions cancer. Does online RP give your loved ones terminal diseases? Did the dain-bramaged fantasy RP I played in my misspent youth condemn my uncle's third cousin's dog to a painful and wasting death?

And can we use this argument in tweeny RP lounges? "Remember, kids: Mary Sues kill!"

I come here to leave everything behind. My mother has Diabetes, and though she tries to deny it, she will die soon. The doctors have told me this and I know it to be certain. My grandmother just got out of heart surgery. My aunt just died of cancer. My grandfather died of Diabetes. My other aunt became blind.

I also have no arms, half an ear and only one leg (people keep selling shoes in pairs, thus filling me with despair as I stare at that lone shoe I can never wear *emo tear*). My second cousin has mange. This girl who sits behind me in class has the brain worms, and my homeroom teacher suffers from gout. A voodoo curse shrunk my uncle's head to nothing. Please, don't take away the only thing that brings joy to my pathetic, one-legged, no armed, half-eared life.

I think I'd actually like it much more if people just said "...yeah, so?" when confronted about art theft or plagiarism or whatever. Because the insane sob stories they make up and that are somehow supposed to explain/excuse bad behavior are just so goddamn STUPID.

What makes me snicker is that I met Frisket17 (aka Melissa O'Brien) about six years ago (maybe seven?) on a MOO (MUD object oriented, like a MUSH or MUCK for those who don't know these things) and even back then, if you mentioned wanting to find a picture for your character, she would gladly draw a sketch for you, so you wouldn't have to steal - all you had to do was ask. Granted, as time went on and more people asked, she scaled back and started asking for reciprocation, but it was never a huge deal.
I still have some pictures she made for me, and I hate the idea of someone else snagging them.


It's amazing how polite manners and respect for others have diminished on the internet. Gee, you wouldn't go into an art museum and just take the paintings because you wanted them for your house, would you? DA, SheezyArt, it's the same thing.

As a person who draws and has done artwork for folks, most times I'd do little drawings for free or in exchange. I find most artists, if you just ask nicely, are more than willing to oblige.

There are so many folks who just. don't. get. copyright. laws. and think it's all a freeforall if it's on the internet. Not so. So very not so.

Eh, I don't know -- see, then rough part is that now, even poorly-skilled artists have begun asking for comissions. I have done, am doing, and always will do all the art issued on requests for free and with the utmost pleasure -- but I have seen your average Joe-who-can-barely-hold-a-pencil asking you to OMGWTF CHECK THE PAY ROLLS for whatever grand piece of "art" of the kind of which he's offering to do. (50$ for a pencil-only sketch? Um...)

Bottom line of this pointless rant? People might feel a mite discouraged. Still not OK to steal, tho'.

ShadowsCalling's attitude reminds me of a husband caught cheating after his wife hired a private investigator, and responds with outrage that he was spied on. I'm baffled at the way he seems more outraged that somebody is accused of stealing than the artists are of having their stuff stolen.

The fact that these are the same people who use and encourage pain-inducing purple prose (http://groups.msn.com/fantasywolfpacks/wolfsdictionary.msnw) and call it "literacy" makes this even more amusing to me.

I mean, honestly, "filly" for a female wolf? Did someone vomit up a thesaurus on these people or what?

You would be screwing up people's lives and major problems would arise.

If they depend on a fantasy wolf RP site that much, they probably deserve to have it shut down on them.
