If you grab stuff off of the web, and then use it in your own art -- credited or not, it's still a violation of copyright.

That would be like saying that it's OK to take chapters out of a famous writer's novel, copy them verbatim, and then use them in a novel of your own......so long as you gave "proper credit".

It don't work thataway........and it doesn't matter whether you are using the purloined art to make money with or not. It's still a copyright violation.

Another thing: even if copyright violations happen to be allowed on other websites -- or posted in other galleries elsewhere on the web -- is irrelevant. They don't allow it to happen here.
