Don't give me some kind of silly car analogy and then tell me it's not your argument. YOU brought cars up.

>This is my argument, that you are using this kind of stupid logic.


There's nothing stupid about it.

The fact that piracy exists, and is a detriment to artists, and the fact that some people here don't respect the rights of artists, all contribute to my not feeling comfortable enough to post to GuroChan or try to sell commissions or release my guro art in other ways. You try to dismiss my reasons, but these facts don't stop being real. You seem to think I should value things differently than I do, but there's no reason for me to change my mind. I believe in intellectual property rights - you don't. I don't expect you to change because of some internet argument, I just want to make you aware that some artists, like me, see things like encouraging people to violate an artist's rights as a disrespect of artists in general, and that such attitudes may well keep artists from sharing their art - like me.

What you do with that knowledge is up to you. The result is the same. Some guro art exists that you will never see.
