A couple of things...#1 I will never post any pics here(only 1 site I post at)..and it's not because I'm afraid of stealing...frankly I'm just not good enough..maybe a couple years from now. I would never and have never stolen a damn thing!!!! The only thing I could possibly be guilty of is not giving credit to the original artist on some of the items...the libraries get so huge I can't possibly remember all of them...and as a newbie I never even thought of keeping a database log with all the artists name etc...I would do my best though. #2. Stealing art to me is like lying on ones resume. You can steal all you want...but if you EVER get a job based on the stolen artwork, you will eventually get caught when you can't produce in real time. Sure you could spend all day surfing the web looking for that stolen image to fullfill your employers request..but you will get caught...and the humiliation that person will suffer & would probably be black balled for life in that community. And in some areas one could even possibly be jailed. Imagine saying you were accountant, get a job doing that, and then not being able to perform. Same difference IMHO. They just now have the technology to catch plagerism...ie stealing other peoples term papers. Soon I imagine the same technology will be used to catch art theives &other types of thieves. These people will eventually get there dues...what goes around comes around.
