The thieves are pretty much ruining it for the rest of us who feel that we're legitimate fans of these artists.
Re: 11
However, after contacting the artists, usually they say they just want credit and/or a link to their site when someone uses their art for icons, layouts, or whatever. They don't really like seeing entire pieces in backgrounds, but again, with credit it's acceptable. So what I've got here *points at icon* is okay because a) I've credited the artist in the icon's description, and b) I'm not using the entire image or claiming that it's mine. (I haven't distributed it to a comm either and just use it for myself, but uhh I'm not gonna start that.) This is of course just in the case of the Death Note fanartists and doujinshikas that are actually reachable, so I can't really speak for other fandoms, but there are a hell of a lot of DN fanartists and so far not one of them has bitched a person out when asking for permission.
If by "stealing" you meant "a person claiming to have drawn something they didn't" though, obviously the original artist would get pissed, as would anyone. That doesn't really happen too much to be noteworthy, in my experience, because anyone would out the thief really quick.
Gah, I commented WAY too much on that.
Re: 11
Maybe the typical japanese fanartists shouldn't have rods up their asses. Might solve a few problems.
If someone is using a fanart than they clearly enjoy their art. If they are CLAIMING that the ART is theirs, than I see the problem. Any other time? Fuck off. Don't put it on the interweb than.
