"Do Not Distribute" On Images

It seems that Fchan is respectful of artist's wishes, so if an image has the words, "Do Not Distribute" written on the image (though the artist is not on the DNP list), then it is still clear that the image should still not be posted as the artist doesn't want the image posted -- and has even labeled the image directly his/her wishes as such? Correct?

There are a few images in some threads in /m/ that have "Do Not Distribute" written on them, and they were called on, but some argued that because the artists were not explicitly on the DNP list, that their work could be posted even if their works have "DO NOT DISTRIBUTE" written in big letters on it.

Discuss.

DND can be faked. (did happen)
DND can be meant for commercial distribution only. (did happen)

If you really think the artist would be concerned, tell them to mail me and I'll take appropiate steps: Deletion of image or DNP entry, as the artist wishes.

Fchan is extremely well-known in the furry community. If an artist has the energy to put "Do Not Distribute" on their art, but has no desire to have themselves put on the DNP list (it is extremely easy after all), then what's the foul?

Fchan is well known by furry artists because the current DNP system forces them to find out about it.  One does have to wonder if fchan might enjoy a better reputation amongst those artists if the first contact they have with it wasn't one of their fans telling them that fchan is hosting copies of work that's clearly marked "do not distribute" because they haven't shown up in person to say "yes this really means you too".

Ah, but the flipside of the argument has to do with the person who originally posted this "do not distribute" picture on Fchan to begin with. Fchan is only hosting where the picture is posted. The person actually went against the artists wishes by posting it here in the first place.

people who hate on the fchan in public for these things are only trying to suck up to the furry artists. they still think they in high school.

There are plenty of people that hate the majority of Fchan's populace but don't hate idea of Fchan itself.
