This thread is now a text wall because not only are people stealing; they also damn noisy about it too. Actually trying to make an argument that its their right to steal. Like they're damn proud of it. That's complete BS. If you're going steal- shut up and do it. Seriously. Stop talking about how you're completely justified in doing it.

Furthermore when artists post for free they do so because they want to; not because you force them to; not because you stole and pretended that it was ok. If an artist wants to put up a paywall its their choice. The good ones aren't doing it cuz its what you do now to squeeze a few bucks. They actually using it to free up their time otherwise spent elsewhere making more art. That's a good thing.
