  As you know, there are art thieves everywhere. Deviantart is a site dedicated for artists to share their drawings, so people here take the art theft case seriously. But on other websites, like Instagram for example, posting random drawings without even crediting the artist is very common (and people still like it).

  So one day, when I was using Instagram, I saw this one person posted a drawing that is not theirs. I said credit the artist, because posting art without credit or permission from the original drawer is the same as stealing. Then he had the nerves to defend himself and act like a victim. He said:

  -I saw this drawing on the internet and I didn't know who made it. And there are many people doing this, why are you saying this to me? I post funny images because it helps people overcome depression. Now you made me feel bad for what I've been doing. I've never been this angry to someone. You know what? You're a thief too, a thief of happiness.-

  Yeah, that's exactly what he said, I just summarized it because our argument was awfully long. People would go this far just not to credit the artist, can you believe it?

Too long; didn't read: Always put a watermark on your drawings, but don't put it on the corner, because they will crop it out.
