Personally I don't really give a shit about what happens with my stuff after I upload it. If people want to use/copy/reference/do whatever or even sell it, go ahead. I draw things because I like it and that's also the reason why I upload them from time to time. I don't make any money off of them nor do I want to, so I just dump them out there for people to do with them whatever they want.
Btw, I pirate games and music, not even gonna lie about that, so I see it as nothing but fair to let others use my work. (Not saying that would likely happen any time soon, but still)

Awhh sweetie, I think it's important to have at least some respect for your work. It's cool that you don't mind people referencing and stuff, but if anyone is making money from your stuff its important to take action, you put time and effort into your stuff you at least deserve your dignity for doing that.
Because people think this way, people who actually sell art have a hard time because others are just used to using things for free, and its really disheartening when this happens, because artists deserve a reward for their hard works when using for commercial or commission purposes. People start saying things like, "Oh, this artist lets me use their stuff for free, you should too." Which isn't right in my oppinion |D

Lawl sure.
If people put effort into making something they intend to sell, they should have the right to sell it.
I mainly see what I make as the software it is though; Something that, once done, is just a long string of numbers which can easily be copied a billion times unlike 'material' artwork. That, together with the fact that I just draw for fun without any form of profit in mind is enough reason for me to just let others use it. It's not like I do anything with my work anyways once it's finished. Same goes for my other hobbies; If someone I know has a problem with his/her computer, I'll just take a look at it and only ask for money if something has to be replaced. And even then just the price of the part itself.

well, I guess you do have a point with the software thing.
But even if you do just draw for fun, It's still important to have a sense of dignity with your work, it's fine to let other people use it and stuff, but you know, if they are making profit from it or something like that, its good to try and stop that, because while you might not mind, it might give the other person the idea that it is okay when it isn't |D

True. It's absolutely not cool if someone tries to make money of someone else's work. The fact that I don't mind doesn't mean others shouldn't either, but what can you do? There'll always be assholes who want to make profit without doing any work unfortunately...
yea, its true, there always is that person
but you know, that artist can always stand up and say no. And I think doing that is important, people need to know what they can and can't use.
