That's OK. That's your opinion, and I respect that. Making money is not my main focus, but it's nice to do! I have always stood up for what is right. If that makes me unpopular, then let it be so. The world is full of good people who watch and do nothing, but just complain.

Just because things are the way they are on the Internet, does not mean that I have to accept that standard. If I stood back and was silent, I would not be who I am.

Some of my peers are being badly ripped off on here, and they have no say in the matter. Not only are they not getting compensated when the images are used, they are not getting compensated when the posts make money!

My work is my work, and if someone steals it, I'm going to fight for my rights, just as you would fight for the right to get your car back if someone stole it! My work was never put on the Internet for SHARING! It was put on the Internet to be licensed to legitimate businesses. Just because something is on the Internet does not make it free!

When our local strip mall has a sidewalk sale, the stores put stuff outside and usually there is trust that people will bring their stuff into the store and pay for it. I would hazard a guess that the majority of the people are honest, and pay for what they want. They don't just walk away with something because it's there for SHARING, and because they can get away with it because nobody is watching!
