I just wanted to say couple of things here...

Please have a look this page [link]
This is a union made up by Japanese artists to protect online artworks from reusing/reproducting by other websites

well..some of you might think like "whats the problem with this?"
I know I guess its just culture difference
Japanese people are very strict on copyright.I was so surprised when I joined DA because I saw many artworks which were reprinted without permission
and even someof them were created by my japanese friends.

To add the point, I saw my artworks and cosplay pistures on other websites as well
and I didnt know that they were being posted. Even I said ALL RIGHT RESERVED

Secondaly, Really good friend of mine...she is really talented and her works are simply amazing
but she doesnt wanna join Deviant Art because she is afraid if someone steals her works or post somewhere else without permission
I dont want people saying like.."I did this!*posts someoneelse's works" or post my works randomly
If you wanna use someone's work or pictures we would like you to ask us first
to get like..permission. Especially if you wanna use my cosplay photos...cause they show my face...
I feel its very scary that my artworks are being posted somewhere without knowing.
Well you would be scared if your picture(your face is shown)is posted on somewhere without knowing wouldn't you?

In conclusion
If I see my artwork or cosplay pictures on other websites again I take it as they STOLE my works or idea.
Then I will never upload my artwork or cosplay pictures on Deviant Art

Sorry I just can't help it.



Excuse my poor English.
Thanks for your cooperation
