By putting the watermark on, that makes it more acceptable to pass it round, as they get credit and no-one can pretend it's there own (theoretically). Whether or not it's the right thing to do to want praise, it is there own choice to make.


As for the copyright issue, people draw professional arts of copyrighted works all the time whilst still having rights to their own art (eg Shakespeare or similar illustrations)

[(Anonymous)]

Shakespeare isn't actually copyrighted – when something is as old as the works of Shakespeare it ceases to be protected by copyright law. The same goes for other popularly illustrated things like Alice in Wonderland or fairy tales.

And I think you're missing the point I'm making here: artists don't need to be so possessive about their work. It doesn't honestly matter if someone posts it somewhere without crediting the artist. Sure, it's rude to do it if the artist has said they'd like credit, but I think most artists are being kind of up themselves in demanding it.

Well, what of the official arts for say...Harry Potter? The people who commissioned them are the ones with the main rights, but they can say where and where not they're to be posted.


Maybe they don't need to be. I'm not disputing it. All's I'm saying is whether they're in the right or not it should be there choice.
