How hard is it really?

In Icons communities: Find an image, crop it, add some text and demand credit when you proudly display it for all to download

Not mine, but in one of the icon communities someone is giving out many many Jessica Galbreth pics as icons and demanding credit. She's just let me know that she's editing her post, but it can't be that difficult to do it in the first place.

I've seen the torrent sites. Nasty :(

Ugh! The internet is filled with rude thieves.

Oh and by the way, I changed my user name not that long ago from lovelesspulse to the new one: amourningrain. Just in case you missed the post. :)

I did miss the post, but I figured it out after a bit of head scratching :D

ARRGH! I know what you mean! The icon groups can be horrible about allowing the work of others without crediting the artist! Every time I see it happening, I notify the moderator and if they do nothing, I notify the artist that their work is being used without permission! I hate that!

Funny that if you notify the person who posted the icons, you are often met with a very unpleasant reply. I wonder if we used their icons without credit, would they feel the same way?
