I don't like thieves.

A friend of mine, , told me about a problem she had been having and seen other people have (take that, grammar!) with a website which I'm not going to link directly to, as I don't like offering free advertisement to that sort of thing. I'm going to let the info speak for itself for the most part, but the bottom line is that the website and its owners take fanart done by artists that publish/post on the web, without permission. They then refuse to take said work down, stating that fanartists have no rights since the characters portrayed are not their own. Which is crap.

Not being able to understand why someone is upset is one thing. Being willfully ignorant and/or ignoring the rights of others pushes beyond the borders of all decency into a place where I, frankly, wouldn't want to spend any time.

Here's the link to the problems in question. Take the screencaps and words contained inside at face value and make your own judgment calls. I'm just trying to help put the word out.


Thanks.
