I already told you one: I don't feel like giving gifts to people who don't respect my rights or my work. Why should I give my work to people who think they can just do whatever they want with it? Why should I do any favors for people I think are doing bad things?

So because some people do not respect your "rights" you will not post your work that way punishing everyone mostly those you do respect your "rights"?
do you also use the same logic in "I will not buy a car because I don't want to reward those who may steal it from me" LOL

There will always be people who will do something bad to you in one way or another and you should have known that your pictures will be reposted before you posted them yourself. It is not a rocket science. You lose control over what you post on the internet.

I understand your concern about the danger of your work getting recognized and this is pretty same for most people here as well (which is one of the reasons why we do not even take authorship of our own work.)

But on the other hand, I think if it got recognized it would not be that bad because merely knowing about this implies that this person has same interests as we have. the style itself is not that significant evidence which makes accusation more awkward for accuser than for person being accused

But I can still understand your fears and the fact that this is not about piracy but about this issue instead.

>>You're wrong to think that I don't want to sell my work; the problem is that for me, trying to sell my work comes with too many risks for not enough reward. I don't sell my work because there's too many people like you, and so I do that kind of art for my own enjoyment (and nobody else) because that's all that's left.

You are making dumb excuses because selling your work would require you to disclose your information (nobody in their mind will pay to some anonymous scammer) and also do some decent advertisement to get more clients. That would be far more dangerous than some pirates posting few anonymous pictures somewhere and you will make more enemies who will dislike you for spamming and teasing them with content which they cant get.
It is even troublesome to find some host which will keep your stuff because it instantly gets banned everywhere and posting it on sites with advertising intent like this would be considered spamming.

Claiming risks as reasons why you don't want to sell your work does not change the fact that you don't want to sell it and piracy is totally irrelevant here. The real reason is your fear being exposed

I also don't understand what kind of compensation you expect anyway because you made it pretty clear trhat you can't sell it and even if you could, few extra bucks will not pay for your divorce expenses LOL your client base will be so tinny that it will be barely worth all the hassle and loss of anonymity.
you can still sell to your trusted friends if you like. I would not consider anyone you can find people with capitalist mentality who will see nothing wrong with selling food to their baby.

>>Do you think I would enjoy comments from people who think they can just take my work and use it without permission?
Dont worry those people are too busy uploading that stuff elsewhere than posting comments for you.

this kind of stuff is more like war because people who like you personally will do what you ask and try to do everything not to hurt you but people whom you make to hate yourself will try to do the exact opposite of what you say.

Speaking about myself I heavily oppose all that intellectual property thing but if the artist is my friend I respect their will. (even if I burn with desire to post this somewhere in public) not because I think it is right but because this was that person asks me to do and also provides me with the new content.
