Just as a sidebar, actually, if you never intended to sell your work, then your monetary loss would be zero. The fact that someone else managed to make money off your effort doesn't take money out of your pocket unless they keep you from earning money you otherwise would have made. But on to the real topic..... I don't approve of theft in any form. I think it is easy enough to contact the artist and say, "I love that graphic...would you mind sending me a copy for my personal enjoyment." I bet most artists would be delighted to do so. And those who refuse should have their rights respected. I don't think this will keep thieves from doing their dirty work, but I applaud this as a step in the right direction. Many people are very distressed to see their work stolen and then mutilated for the amusement of someone else. What can be done to discourage stealing lite should be done...the heavy duty thieves will not be so easily discouraged.
