95% is an exaggeration. I know you're all gonna laugh but I've seen more good stuff than I've seen bad stuff. I mean, look at the front page and all the featured stuff. Sure, there are tons of morons there..but like I said, there are tons and tons of good ones too. People just like to accentuate the bad more than the good, and target and exploit the notoriously bad artists.
But yeah...IANAL either. All this legal stuff is making my brain hurt. I just wanna see how this progresses, rage at his immorality, and laugh my ass off at how much of a conceited jambroni he is. I really hope justice will prevail and all that good stuff :3

The US government will invest all their time and money to protect him. All the top lawyers will join his case. International art critics will join his side as well. Millions will be spent to protect him and his interests just to piss you off.
This has been going on the last few days, you may or may not have heard of it but I find it very interesting. Some big shot businessman/architect/"musician"/"artist"/total guido-looking jambroni named Chad Love Lieberman has been discovered to have stolen art from hundreds of artists off deviantart (some even deceased). He's been putting these up on his site called art4love, and has been selling them for hundreds of dollars.
I feel really passionate about this whole thing because, despite me not having the skills to have something stolen from me, I know how much effort and work it takes to put into a piece of art. And having your effort put money into someone else's undeserving hands is like, really bad, and stuff.
Not only has he ripped off all these pieces, but he has also plagiarized books.
Now, this is the part where:
A. People get outraged
B. People don't care
C. People bash deviantart because the internet said so
D. We get into a big and interesting discussion
E. Some defiant person denounces all this and makes it seem like everyone who is angry is somehow at fault.
F. All of the above.
