What I'm referring to is when people take a piece of artwork that I have posted, change the signature and then say that they are the ones who drew it. If you put as much time and effort into artwork as I do, then you'd understand why I get angry. Yes, those pictures ARE copyright me because I've had them published. They are 100% creative, concept and production all by me. Yes, I do make revenue off my artwork. I sell some of my pieces, so if someone takes one of my pieces and says that it is theirs, they are stealing.
As far as I can tell, internet art isn't producing any revenue (except for pop-up click-thrus or porn pay sites). So, is merely transporting the image from one server to another and linking it on another site really stealing?
