I'm ashamed of my people - he didn't even bother to change the text in the wp.

That stupid 'image' code kept claiming I'd got it wrong. There's only so many times I'm going to try to enrol on a site...and 6 was 'it'...

Sheesh, I really sturred up a hornets nest. Yeah, I only noticed after I posted the message here that the guy was actually an admin of the site. Why is it that people think this kind of stuff is ok?
Case in point, Juni makes a Zlauncher (PalmOS) and Wassup skin for me out of the goodness and kindness of his heart. He posts at Brighthand (a PDA forum) as there's nowhere else to post Palm skins. And what do people do? They start ripping it immediately. They see not one thing wrong with it. Now Juni's easy-going, if you need permission, ask and ye shall receive.. but these guys see nothing wrong with ripping, and if you bring it up, then you're the one who's a jerk.
Can't people understand that someone created those pretty pictures? I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but had to vent.

What is that non-expressed consent? Does posting stuff at Deviant Art really give your rights away like that?

I was going to make a comment, but then I started feeling rude, so I erased it.

Their reaction is not untypical for that kind of site. They have no respect for other people's property. There does seem to be a breed of people around these days who think they have a right to do or say what they like. That sort of self-righteous arrogance is the worst kind of behavior. No matter what you say they will believe they are right. I've come across this type of people many times and they need slapping down hard to have any kind of impact.

You'll note they are now claiming it has become property of their website - astonishing >

Russ does not deserve to have his work plastered around without consent by some child in Sydney, Australia...

Sorry, folks, but Deviantart's copyright disclaimer does NOT cover your redistribution of this image publicly without the original author's consent.
If you doubt me, may I suggest you contact jark [Scott Jarkoff], Admin and founder of Deviantart.com for clarification.
When you do, quote my name, Paul Martin [Jafo], Admin Wincustomize.com and Senior Member Deviantart.com.
Thirty years in professional graphic arts and I fully understand copyright law. Also, local to the poster of this work, as I'm in Melbourne, Australia myself.
Contacts in the AFP may be interested, likewise.
I suggest you remove this work immediately to avoid litigation.
Thankyou.
Post two...
It is imperative that artist's rights are respected and protected properly.
It is also imperative that sites intending to co-habit in the online 'art' community do so with mutual respect and understanding of those rights.
Sure, you can think 'who gives a proverbial...it's only fun?', but ultimately it will reflect poorly on you and your site's reputation, with the potential ramifications of punitive damages being sought if an equitable solution is not reached.
