The church was a photo and that was proved. Fine, whatever, use photos, add props and render your heart out. At the very least, give credit for the photo. But, the sticking point xenic are the pictures of the wolves that were in acva's gallery, all of them were licensed prints by very real world artists. How is exposing something so blatant more wrong than the theft it self? The very thought that you think calling a thief out and exposing them and ridiculing their acts as wrong, is more wrong than the theft itself is a bit confusing. If it were your art, would you be so lenient? I think pretty much anyone would want that person exposed, and at the very least, a public apology. I think the community would be more apt to forgive if an apology were made. Look, there is no doubt that acva has a degree of creativity, some of the posts were pretty good, so why deceive with someone else's work when you're capable of creating your own, isn't that the point. It's one thing to be inspired by art, I think that's why we do what we do...we're inspired by others to create our own, I don't think despite the saying "good artists borrow, great artists steal" was ever meant to be taken so literally.
