I know alot of people really don't care if their images are stolen or not, however, Rudy puts alot of himself in his imagery and I'm sure alot of us here do, and it just isn't 'right' for someone else to profit from the use of a stolen image. I guess it's the principle of the thing, way too many people on the web feel that anything posted is fair game to take and claim as their own and it's just not so. As it is, people feel that artists do art as a hobby and that artists don't expect to be compensated for something others feel is a frivolous pastime. That's got to stop, if the thieves think they can get away with it and no one presses the point it's illegal, they will continue to do it. Our art and the time needed to create it is just valuable as any other profession's time, and output. He is within his rights to presue this to the fullest extent of the law. amethyss, if your lively hood depended on your talent as an artist then you too would feel strongly about the thief of your artwork. And, if in the long run, nothing matters, because you're going to die anyawy, well, what 's the point of contiuing on with life without any passion?
