The only thing that can is for you not to upload your pics anywhere online. But really, is that an option? I think it may be one if you have something you absolutely don’t want circulated anywhere for whatever reasons and on top of that you do not want to show it to anyone in a public fashion online. Your work is protected under copyright law no matter if you upload it to dA or if you don’t. No one is allowed to just take it, watermark or no watermark.

I thinks it's kind of sad when people start hunting each other down because they didn't credit a simple picture. Also even if people know about Copyright they are going to abuse of it any ways. Like steeling manipulations or resources and posting them on other internet sites them as their own. No one can do anything about it (i think). Ohh well.....

They usually have the excuse I couldn't find the original. I understand that. It's happened to me but for some people, they can never seem to keep hold of their images nor the person who originally uploaded the image and you find such excuses on every piece of art they upload. This is good post to keep bookmarked so that I can share with others who are new to this or just dont' seem to understand the importance of TOS or stock credits. In the end, we could not have made our art without the help of the wonderful stock artists out there! They should be duly thanked for their own work and effort. In short, I agree with this post :P And thanks for enlightening on the issue of copyright. :) Nothing irks me more than finding people who don’t credit their stock resources.
