Iffy. I do agree that sources should always be posted if you have them, and corrected as soon as you know otherwise if you didn't, but anybody who posts a picture on tumblr or any other service where you can reblog easily, that person shouldn't really be surprised if that picture spreads beyond there page.

I can see where somebody woulnd't want their picture just up someplace to be mocked, or used for a message that's an antithesis of their beliefs, but again, risks of the medium. Deviant art and personal pages become a bit more murkey though, but most of hte drama I've seen was tumblr reposting related.

Most of the time when I've seen people complaining about "reposting" on tumblr...they don't mean the reblog button tumblr provides. Tumblr is basically made for sharing like that and the whole idea is to get your post out to the widest audience possible...which pretty much requires people to reblog it for it to be seen.

They mean legit taking the art and reposting it divorced from its original info or even the reblog chain that leads back to the original artist.

See I've seen the first kind. What you describe seems completely legit as a reason to be pissed off.

The worst cases I'm aware of involve people/companies selling unattributed art (fan and/or original) that doesn't belong to them on t-shirts, posters, etc, where the original artist gets jack shit by way of compensation.

I've also seen a fan comic with the artist's and character names removed get more reblogs (and people trying to sell prints and stuff) in a day than the original got in months. And with that particular piece it just kept happening. Random people and friends and coworkers would go "oh have you seen this?" and it would be that same comic with all attribution scrubbed (in different ways, by different people, which involved cropping, editing gifs, erasing signatures and urls that were part of the piece) on yet another site. I swear at this point it's more popular than the show it was based on.

What's the comic?

I'm sure it's happened with other artists and fandoms and certainly with original work, but in this case

SA-actually I wouldn't be surprised if the day came that a fan artist got in trouble for making a profit off copyrighted characters when actually the person making money was an art thief and the original artist had no idea.
