20 years…? Copyright is longer than that in most countries, right? It's 70+ years. (Although that's too long, I think 20 years would be better.)

And I didn't say anything about law, just the artist's wishes. If an artist posts something on Patreon and says not to share it, if I respect that artist, I won't share it.

Personally I don't agree with "if you are willing to spend $20 for art, you'll give it to anyone…" In 2017 I spent almost nothing on art, but recently I found artists I want to support so I spent about $600 on art since the last few months. Because I went to the art exhibits and started talking to the artist, I began to feel bad that even published manga artists work so hard and make so little money. I want more high quality gore and violence art! If you don't care, there's nothing wrong with pirating, but if you do care, you should really pay. And buying something in order to distribute it to free feels good on the "community" level but it's cruel to the artist.
