One of my members there raised a complaint about someone stealing their art and Deviant Arts turned a deaf ear.They demanded proof the image was hers...the thief left her artist siggie on the image yet claimed it was her work.The member spoke openly about it on Deviant Arts and they threatened to ban her.I went there and personally spoke with the staff telling them this was a member of my site,she uses the same username on all sites,she provided them with links to where she posted the image originally and I told them I would raise such hell their eyes would be bleeding orange juice for the next three years...the image was subsequently removed. And I hate to say this Gabe...you don't sell your art,you sell 3d products so obviously this means nothing to you.But lets say after your last departure from rosity you came back to find they turned all the products you left behind into freebies and thanks to embed codes,your products were now being circulated on five hundred sites and everyone thinks you granted Rosity permission to do this.Rosity is a private site and by your argument they have the right to do this and because the exposure this gives you is massive...well its ok then. Some artists share their images here and no where do they say its psoted free to use unless the artist chooses to say that.Until they do,they have the legal right to retain all commercial usage and distribution of that image...even sell it if they like. Besides...I don't think we are talking to Blackhearted here as he is a champion of protecting copyrights belonging to artists and product makers and has raised hell in here countless times regarding copyright infringements...maybe somebody at Deviant Arts has used an embed code to steal Gabes site access here but is creditting him by leaving his name under the av there;P

If the end goal of learning is genius...why are most geniuses failures at learning?
