Follow up on the artist ripoff wank
I thought I'd check on the progress of the ripper-off of artists who got reported last week. It looks like Aimee's work was taken down, but not before a massive bitch-n-whine-fest in the site's bravenet forum and guestbook.

I especially like the cluelessness of the folks who complained that Ary's poor sweet innocent baby child was dragged into the argument and got flamed. I can only imagine the tears that surely ran down the poor tyke's face as her mother read her all the nasty flames hurled in her direction. Woe.

Several of the images linked from here are missing now, but the one by Goldenwolf is still up with absolutely no mention of the original artist.

Trust me, the bravenet forum threads are totally worth the popups.

Good god, she has minions. o_O; And the mini-wank that's been spawned because of Aimee's Thundercats fanart is really amusing. Seriously, though, this Ary chick needs to stop using her bayyyybee as an excuse and just take the stuff down already. And having a Mac isn't a viable excuse. -_-;

I love how the minions all post instead of Poor Overworked Ary.

And actually, I think Aimee's artwork was an original furry-type character, not Thundercats. =) (I say this having spent WAY too much time watching/taping/making Thundercats of my own...)

Is there a new contest for "Most stupid on the internet" with 10,000,000 dollars at stake or something, or are they that stupid because they enjoy it?

I mean... the whole discussion about plagiarism is just ...idiotic. "Well, yeah, it's wrong, but she doesn't have to take down the stuff she stole until the police come, and you should have enough human decency to leave her alone." Why does everyone else have to be polite while she just has to wait for the cops to tell her what to do? Talk about double standard!

I think it's the Defend My Friend syndrome. If your ickle friend's poor baby heart is bleeding and hurting because of some meanie the logic tends to go pfft.

Ah.

Blerg.

If my friend is hurt 'cause they're being dumb or breaking the law, I tend to try and point it out to them. Nicely, but still... I'd rather tell them they're a moron than have them embroiled in a lawsuit they can't win.

Same, and I'd expect them to return the favor. I want to know if I'm being a dumbass, dammit.

I usually point and laugh at them. At least... *sniff*... that's what I used to do back when I had friends. :(

Yay! A friend! A friend! *points and laughs* *hugs!*

And don't worry about my sister. She's dead for the moment now.

Zombie sisters are the scariest, though!!!

*giggles* Point and laugh all you like! I have no shame.

Well, I have some, but I've been giving it away for Christmas... and I'm not even Christian!

*Sigh* Am I so jaded that I believe that most of those speaking on Ary's behalf are Ary herself? ...Well, apparently so. ^^;;
