Whose art did you steal this time?

fym steal? all digital information should be free. it hurts nobody to copy it.

It’s removing attribution of the make of the maker

in what way is this stealing?

Would you scrub picassos sign off one of his artworks? This is the same

You’re not answering my question. Scrubbing off picassos signature would be different, because it would destroy the physical artwork. I wouldn’t have a problem with someone digitally removing his signature from a digital copy of the artwork and then distributing that online.

How is that not ruining the art but removing Picasso’s signature would be? I agree art should be free but that doesn’t mean we should make it easier to steal from artists that should be getting paid even if their art is distributed for free.

If you posted a Picasso piece and went thru the extra steps to remove his signature even digitally & then post it it’s kinda like a ripoff, you’re just unnecessarily removing the credit from the person who actually did the work.

I didn’t say that removing picassos signature would not ruin the art. I said that physically destroying the artpiece is way different from copying a file and then modifying that copy. Copying digital art is not stealing. This mindset just enables stupid anti-piracy and copyright laws that will always harm the honest consumer

Attribution is not DRM

thats still what youre pushing for with this shitlib mindset

Why would you allineate an artist from their work? Being recognised for what oneself makes is one of life’s pleasures

i totally agree with you. and i think they should have included the artists name, just not for all the same reasons that you have. i think its stupid not to post the artists name, not cropping out the name would mean less work for the poster and it would make it easier for readers to find more comics of the same artist. i dont think what the poster did is wrong though, and i am against trying to justify having to include the artists name based on some weird morals and capitalistic ideas.

Crediting someone for their work is not capitalistic.
