I would like to note how quickly the deviantART team works in the effort to protect itself and affilates against plagerism in all form; also I would like to bring to your attention (though at this point, it is wholy irrelvant as they have removed my "ripped" work) that dA classified permisison that was granted directly from the origional creator (in this case a photograph) as dangerious, plageristic tendencies.
I want to thank dA for all of it's fine efforts in keeping us artists safe from "ripping", and ignoring the real issues in the art thieft community. When people are getting permisison from other people to use their photos and openly listing them as the origional creator of X portion of their work, why bother with people who are stealing identity and pretending to be another artist to claim commission for their work, dirty the other artists' name, and otherwise fuck their efforts at being an individual? What's the point, they got bigger fish to fry!
Thanks again dA, you're awsome!
