rule of thumb...do not add your name to anythng that has a watermark. Do not crop or manipulate either. in fact it's best to delete it immediately...you will be much safer that way.
I am a copyrighted artist, it is my profession. I am a web designer and use many of my digital creations with clients and have economic reprocussions when my art is taken and altered.
I am not stating that any of you did this from my site, but they have ended up here and have been altered even more.
most artist have website and it is clearly stated on their sites not to alter or use the images other than intended. not that you have gone to my site and taken this, but someone has and again...it's ending up here.
thank you to the members who have been cooperative and understanding.

I personally have thousands of pics literally on my hard drive in all kinds of formats psp, psd, jpg, tubs, or gifs. I got them from said sharing groups. I do not alter the names or copyright names off the pics I have put a name on and I don't cover it up. But My question is if you didn't want the world to see your art, creations or work why did you share it in the first place? What is the purpose of sending a pic out to hundreds of unknown people if you didn't want it seen or used. you should know that at some point that pic will no longer have an identifying mark left on it and there is no way a person can ever trace it back to you to ask your permission to use it
I am not talking about the person that intentionally rips the pics and uses them for financial gain, these ladies and gentlemen here are justn using them for identification purposes only and most only use them for a very short time and will change pics to another one they liked. This is in no way malisciuos nor did they intentionally hurt anyone. In some small way maybe you should feel a little glad that they thought so highly of your creation to want to show it.
They didn't set out to hurt you or any other artist and still do not have that intent, you however have hurt several people and that was your intent. You could at least checked the Roo out and found out it is just a bunch of common people enjoying themselves in a harsh cruel world, it is an avenue of escape of real life. Humor and jokes, poems and stories. We laugh together and we cry on each others shoulders, we feel grief when a member loses a family member. Check us out and see if we are the bad people you seem to think we are. I don't think that is to much to ask of you.
