>Ok, fine so your point is that if there was no piracy at all and nobody ever copied anything without permission from the author or at least if everyone was a member of copyright church, you would disregard all risks and post those few pictures on gurochan for free?


"Few." Sour grapes much?

No, my point is that since people like you don't respect the artists, and since GuroChan seems to have a fair number of that kind of person in its community, I don't think it's a decent enough group to share my art with. If you don't respect my rights, I don't view you as deserving of my charity, or worth taking risks for.

>Imagine the situation if copyright was respected in 100% but people would just tell you categorically that nobody will pay to you for your work and you can keep it behind your precious paywall without customers for all eternity. Would it make you happier ?


It would, because at least then they'd show they respected me.

I already have to get by without selling my work; if it turned out I couldn't sell my work because nobody wanted to buy it I wouldn't be worse off.

>Also, the refusal of some artists to sell their work, forces their potential customers to focus on the free artists what motivates them to post even more.


People who "focus on free artists" are usually not customers and never would be, and just want content for free. And if all an artist wants is praise for handing out free stuff, that's fine, as long as it's their own decision.

>I am not arguing about your decision itself I am arguing about your illogical reasoning


You already tried a really bad car analogy, now you want to try again with vegetarianism?

There's nothing illogical about my reasoning, you just don't like my logic. There are not enough benefits for me to outweigh the negatives in posting my work in any way to this community, and therefore I don't. That could not be more logical.

The non-logical thing about both of our arguments is what each of us values. Obviously, you value a copyright-free stance. But value judgements are usually not, in and of themselves, logical. A value is an emotional state. Logic applies only in a sense of either applying or attaining those values - that is to say "I value [x}, so I will take logical action to gain [x]", or "Because I believe in [x], I will act logically according to [x]".

We value different things, but that does not make my actions or reasoning illogical.
