Well it has come to light recently that Deviant Art has stated that its now ok to submit traced, or painted over artwork as your own. news.deviantart.com/article/70… I really don't care about what DA is saying about tracing being art, there are plenty of schmucks out there who will claim that anything is art to make a buck. Well now apparently its Ok for people to use your art without your permission as long as they trace it, or add some paint to it to make a profit off of your original idea and hard work! How does this seem legal? Well I for one STRONGLY disagree with this heinousness! So I have taken all my prints off of deviant art like many other artists in the DA community, and will not be one to endorse them as long as they are ok with this type of copyright infringement. I still plan on continuing to use deviant art, because it is a great site and community. I just disagree with their new "tracing is art" policy.
