Deviation Actions
This community has come together on many occasions to sign a petition to help a worthy cause. I never imagined something would have to be started because of a problem within deviantART.
If you haven't read the latest CEA Update, I'd suggest taking a look at it before you e-sign anything. I'm petitioning this revision because I think it's opening a door that will ruin this community.
Allowing members of deviantART to copy, trace, or duplicate any copyrighted artwork is giving a mixed signal to growing artists. Whether or not it's done with the intention of practicing, the act of submitting it into an official gallery here on deviantART is copyright infringement.
If we would penalize these same deviants for copying an artist within the community--who discovers it and complains about it--then we should be penalizing them for copying all artists, as all artists have legal rights to their works.
Having the practice works moved to their own little area of deviantART could be tolerated, but having them in official dA galleries is offensive. We are an art community, originality is what makes art amazing. Don't let dA become an image hosting site by allowing copied, traced, or duplicated artworks to be displayed among the sensational works of original art.

Staying Alive ...
Hey y'all!! It's been so long since I've logged in here or engaged with the community. I am doing all sorts of creative things these days! If you'd like to catch up with me visit my website: www.salleysmile.com and say howdy! I'm working toward getting the site properly up to date and linking to other social medias. I'm also streaming live while I create on Facebook; www.fb.me/salleystudios -- the plan tonight is to knit and bitch about life with friends on my discord server (that's often neglected because I cannot stay continuously focused often). I hope you're all well!! I hope you're all winning!! Who's still around? How are you doing? :D
