On the subject of art stealing... 2009-07-30 16:37:40

There are many great artists on the web and many of them love to share it on sites like photo bucket, otaku, and kongregate. My concern is the fact that some people find a need to take art from one site and post it on another and claim that it is theirs. This causes problems as it is not only stealing from the author but it is a act of lying to many people. However much I hate to ruin someones experience on newgrounds I hate being lied to even more. I would like to know what measures are being used to prevent this in this art portal. If there are not I would like to know who to talk to in order to try and place said measures. No one deserves to be lied to or stolen from on this site, which is dedicated to preseving fun and happiness.

Well you can always print screen, so no website can 100% protect your art. As an artist your responsible pretty much for your own art, there are some things to protect an artist and help an artist in court etc, but well... your pretty much on your own. It's up to you...... share your work on the internet, get noticed (maybe) or don't share it on the internet and you will never be noticed....

There is a report submission clicker, and most artists can tell if something is traced stolen, or a photograph.

Hate so say it, but listen to Jarvid.
