I think this is terrible! I'm a little freaked out actually. I don't know if anyone has even thought about why they post there work here beyond showing off but the artwork here becomes public domain when you post it. You don't wave your rights to ownership but by posting it you are doing so with the knowledge that anyone can copy it and you are aware of it. A little copyright symbol on the image isnt going to stop someone from linking it/posting it elsewhere. Do you realise they are a reseller? The site is a clickthrough/spider site thats setup to generate as many hits for profit in as little time as possible. You all just feel for the biggest scam and the more you feed that fire the more it will continue. Does this happen often? If you ever find a website that is doing this very thing the best thing you can do is track them down (in the real world) and deal with it. Going to their site and sending your friends and they send theirs just puts more hits in their pocket and the concept survives. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be crass. Maybe I would feel different if one of my images (or more) were there but, somehow I doubt it. I'm am fully aware of the pros and cons of posting ANYTHING online. Again, I'm sorry for those of you who feel wronged.
