Dear rule-breaker,

For a while now, I have been keeping an eye on you and what you do around this website. I have to admit, I don't like the things I've seen so far. You have uploaded scanned manga, or other scanned images, screenshots, re-coloured screenshots and other images you have found from the Internet. Sometimes you have the decency, if one can call it that, to try and edit the image, so you have done at least something to it – whether it is a simple (de)motivational poster or maybe an interesting collage of your favourite cartoon or game character. Too bad, the editing does not make it entirely your own work, since DeviantArt's rules are quite harsh on the matter of copyright law.

You know, there are members, who often like to help people out on the matters of breaking rules. They usually politely point out that you've done wrong and help you to fix things before it's too late. For the worst rule-breakers the administrators might strike a ban-hammer. And then they might make another account and get banned for ban-evading and so on…
Unlike the popular belief and whatever your friends say, these people pointing out your mistake are not jealous of your amazing skills (of copying and pasting). Nor are they trolls, or cunt-fags, or shitbags, or bunch of whiny losers. They are just trying to help you.

I'd also like to address the excuses you typically use.
"Others do it, too!" is old and does not work. I'd like to see you using this in court. Besides, many wrongs do not make it right. These "others" might also steal and murder, would it still be okay to do, since "others do it, too"?
"I credited the original artist." Honey, it does not work like that. Read the rules of DeviantArt, any member of the Thiefbusters-group or Damn-Army-group can show you the right link. You see, DeviantArt automatically gives you the copyright, when you upload something. And you simply can't wipe it off with a comment like "TheAwesomePopularArtist made this!"
Also, there is one other excuse you usually use: "I just wanted to share!"
Honey, this is an art-site, not a site dedicated for sharing pretty pictures. There are tons of other sites just for that, and they have no trouble with the copyright law, since they have a different set of Terms Of Service.

There is actually just one thing that hurts my feelings the most. It is the lack of your appreciation, considering that most of us want to help you out, so you won't get banned. Just because we don't agree with your views on the common rules, it does not give you the permission to toss muck and shit at us or come calling us names, whine, bitch and moan, because rule enforcing people are mean and jealous of your works – those insignificant little edits, colour-overs and collages. I hate every little call-out journal, hateful comment and all those so-called friends, who are helping you to bring us down and throw more muck at us. You should be angry at your friends; after all, it was them letting you upload three hundred and more stolen images without telling you it was wrong in the first place.

So. You're welcome for the help, and fuck you, too.

Yours Sincerely,
MiaTheBadger

PS. I am in your gallery, reporting all the violations I see. Happy now?
