Wouldn't it be a bit more courteous if we put more effort into telling others the source of these images?I've Noticed recently that a few pictures have been posted that come from proffesional artists, some of whom make it clear on their personal website that reposting his/her on the internet in any form is violation of copyright.I would'nt normally have any beef, but one image I saw was even cropped to exclude the Artist's name.Is typing a name or pasting a link so difficult? :/
>>1Of course it is difficult - in most cases impossible. I have no idea who drew 98% or so of my porn collection. How on earth would one find out who drew the image, if it's not written in the image? ...am I supposed to remember from where I got all the thousands of images? >_>
I think it's the artists who are responsible for labeling their artwork accordingly. I'm not talking about filename - that gets corrupted entirely in some image boards.Just a little tag in the corner ought to do.
>>1If the name on the image has been cut off in Photoshop, report it as an edit. We don't allow such things here and will remove it ASAP.
I also hate all those people going, "DNP, mothaeffa, can you read it?!!" when there is no indication of any sort as to who the artist is (no *readable* sig or anything -- emphasis on READABLE, i.e. it's not chickenscratch). Not every person recognizes every artist's pics/style. Some pics can look like one artist's style when it's actually another's (like the confusion with Tojyo and Erosuke).
