Stolen Art (IMPORTANT)

[Duskers]

@Carmen - If you prove the art is yours and someone took it, they can get into some very deep legal trouble. You can actually get thousands out of it. THIS IS ALSO A REMINDER TO ALL ART THIEVES OUT THERE C:

Rak, just saying, but wouldn't using that Nala pic as your icon also be considered art theft, since you yourself did not draw it? > 3>;

@Duskers
-I'm aware of that. Those that does copyright infringement will be either fined, jailed for a set period or both. (To name a few...YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM THE LAW, THEY WILL TRACK YOU!)

Ok, I need so say something on this too.
Many people post lineart on dA and put their signature on it so people can use it without having to remember crediting them in the artist comments. In 90% of the cases such linearts are free for use.

I belong to the group of people being accused of having stolen an image and have to say that sometimes it is better to doublecheck whether the image is stolen or not. When having an dA link, one can check the artist username and compare it to the on on FH. Sure, sometimes peoples have different names, but in my case the whole thing about me having stolen it could have been proved false.

@Luane I agree! that's why people put their signatures on art, so that others can use or post it elswhere and the original artist keeps his/her due credit for the picture! As long as you don't take credit for that person's picture, it should be legal

When it comes to art theft I'm always on the lookout. I remember the time I had art stolen. I didn't like it at all.

I don't mind people using my sig for the sun rays, or getting the headband and ninja shuriken hoister or flaming sword or amaterasu markings idea, as long as they don't purposely copy it exactly. If they wanna role play as my twin, that's ok too, then if they get my permission to do that, they may use the exact same look and Banner. But I prefer they don't take my name too with all that.
