Sorry to interrupt... but I think I must put forward my opinion and thoughts about this forums-sites-ripping parade and the anti-rip-commitee that has
been building up lately in MT.
First of all, it's always a pain in the *ss when somebody else post your wallpaper in some other site and then
claim it as theirs. It's also normal to bash and curse them because of what they did.
But, seriously,... this internet is a jungle... a vast jungle of information and data
exchange.. there might be even hundreds of other sites other than HF, or AA, or Z's that hosts walls from MT
without the author's consent. I used to be really p*ssed off when I found out that my wallpapers were up somewhere
else... but lately I kinda realize that ranting and cursing would be a useless attempt. Even asking MT's mods to
ban those people are just that,... no big deal. Something similar would happena again somewhere else at the very moment
... because, 'There are two things infinite, the Universe and human Stupidity'. Yes, I prefer to stay quiet
about it, and thinking of it as a free advert for my works and my site... BUT as long as my signature intact in that
wallpaper. If he/she were to remove it, I would've slit their tongue and burn them to the depths of Malebolgh.
Oops.. too much there ^_^'
Neways, there must be lots of ppl in MT who aren't aggreeing with me, but it's okay, each person has their own opinions and reactions towards rippage and copyright matters. So I think it's up to the author to state his/her mind regarding the 'stolen' works,... that's considered as a risk for the 'ripper'. He/she who rip should've known that the artwork belongs to another person, and it should be respected by asking for the author's permission first before posting it somewhere else.
