...And who gave you that advice in a couple of IM's CrazyDawg? ME! I do care about my art but I have been down this road before. My advice was given because of my own frustration as to how little the Law really cares about "Free Art". Yeh, that's what a lawyer called it. His advice was that if it doesn't have a price tag and/or is not a Picasso the court will not care much. Did I listen? No. And the Judge actually asked me, "what's the harm if you're not being paid for it". And that little thief SOB snickered openly no more than three feet away from where I was standing when the Judge asked me that question. Don't think that doesn't bother me, still. The cold, hard truth was that the Judge was the law and he didn't understand or just plain didn't care.

That person only had to promise that he wouldn't do anything like that again and I still got stuck with the court fee. That little jerk didn't even have to pay the court fee!!! That's the real world at work. So, I learned then that this is the danger of posting art to a gallery on the net. Even the U.S. Government has brought to vote, a bill that would radically reclassify and redefine "Orphaned Art" on the internet. You have more to worry about there then some idiot snatching your works from here. It's a good thing that bill didn't pass. However, it had a lot of support on Capital Hill. If you don't know about this, search the forums here.

CrazyDawg is doing the best that anyone can do in such a situation. He is reporting this theft to the very people that have control over this girls account. That's as much as you can expect in the real world. I don't appreciate the rude tone of the person who responded to both me and DPHoadley. I can't speak for DPHoadley's reasoning because I don't fully agree with his take on this but neither of us were rude to the OP and the comment from SoulTaker was not very nice. I do care about my work but I have a take on this matter based on my own experience, as frustrating as it was and I didn't deserve his comment. I never suggested that CrazyDawg stop posting about this nor ask for his thread to be deleted, that's what HE wanted to do. Apparently, SoulTaker and JenX are under the assumption that I just don't care. Thanks a lot! Next time try asking me to explain before jumping on me.
