This is something I have been seeing a lot of lately on DA. Yes, this is a DA rant. Anyway, I have been seeing a lot of people snippily declaring that you may not use their art and that you should not steal their art and that it's theirs.

Ok, I can understand that for original art. That's not what I am talking about though. I am talking about something else.

The first one that struck me was a piece of Aria fanart. You don't have permission to use my art *snip snip*...

irregular time period.

Does anyone actually ever buy any of the art they sell? The prices are crazy.

It's cute and colorful. I like it. $21.61 for a single 12x18 print?

$39.98 for a 16x24 print? I can get 11x17 prints directly from the artist for $15.

I'm generally not particularly price sensitive but...
