I don't think that "idiot"/"cry moar" etc etc is the RIGHT answer if someone wants to avoid wank?
Of course, I do understand that when someone is attacked (and this is not the case, mind you) the urge to rely on sarcasm and defend yourself is huge, but seriously, don't complain about the wank when it's your reply that cause it.
I don't like icons with fanarts, which is why I don't make them and I don't use them. Of course I do agree with the fact everyone is free to do what they want (use fanart, for example) but this and "artists would be happy to know they're work is appreciated enough to make something out of it" is something VERY different.
True, that would be the case... if someone actually mentioned the author's name. Without the right credit it's like not acknowledging the fact there IS an artist.
I wouldn't be happy to know my works are used for icons, signatures, layout and the likes unless my name was mentioned somewhere. I don't even think it's something SO strange to pretend a credit, in fact, I can't see why people don't get the point.
Wouldn't you get upset if someone used one of your icons (not bases, mind you) for... making their own icons? Also, a lot of icon artist (and I'm one, a crappy one sure, too) get upset if someone forgets to credit them, and it is right, of course, but it's a bit strange when they claim an artist should just be happy if someone is using their works for icons?
Of course this comment was not to cause wank nor to teach a lesson to anyone (I still stick by the "live and let people live", or whatever that old saying is in english), I just wanted to explain a point, which I believe was the same of the secret poster.
P.S=
Almost forgot. I'm sure a lot of people don't care because they CAN'T read japanese (I can't either, but there is a certain banner, the one of the online fanart protection, that suggest it...), but MOST of the japanese artist don't want their art to be reused elsewhere. And it's not exactly nice to think "well, they're japanese, they'll never found out" (which is not even the case, I guess people who says it have no idea of how many fanart sites were actually closed)
