Well, things are true the other way, too. Going on about how it's so terrible that people don't just create art "for the fun of it" (which reads a lot like "so I can have it for free, always") isn't likely to get artists enthused about providing new content. I still draw guro-related stuff as a hobby - but I keep it at that, just my own personal hobby, which I simply do not share with anyone else, ever. It can't be spread out of my control if I never post it. And why share with a community where many members simply do not respect my rights? So normally I don't moralize, but on the other hand GuroChan doesn't get anything from me, either.

Actually, it *is* stealing, and there is a copyright. Any time an artist creates something, a copyright is established on their work, and then the artist has the right to decide how their work gets sent out (unless you live in China or some other place that doesn't recognize copyright at all). Doesn't matter if one gets it from their Patreon or not - buying a right to view it does not automatically grant a right to be sharing it around yourself. There may not be anything practical a person can do to prevent it, but that doesn't make it legal or moral.
