Number 25
The only thing that really bothers me about fanart theft is the attitudes of the people who do it. The whole, "LOL, WHO CARES ABOUT THE ARTIST?!" bit and the horrid amount of self-entitlement I keep seeing. Not to mention the sentiment that just because someone doesn't speak English, their opinion is somehow less valid.
Funnily enough, I've met some of the artists of my favorite doujins. They haven't gotten rich off of their work, they just do it because it's something they enjoy doing. Unless you're at a doujinshi event buying directly from the artist herself, chances are she isn't making money off of it.
I admit that I scan doujinshi and I allow others to make icons from it. But I wouldn't go posting my stuff on 4chan. And I always ask that others don't. As to whether or not my friends respect my request, I don't know. I trust my friends to respect it, however.
The people mocking you by saying how it's just icons forget that people also use it in banners, layouts, etc. etc.
Oh well, fanart theft really only bothers me when an artist closes down her site because of it. It doesn't happen too often, thankfully, but when it does... everyone loses D: I doubt most people think about this.
