Comment on Myself for You by jsrgomez
anyone can post anything they like, but a park bench is something built to function. and you can do many things with said park bench. you can have a model pose on it, you can sit on it yourself, you could take photos of an elderly lady feeding pidgeons, you could take a parkour shot, or if you like the bench then you could snap a plain photo. the bench is built to function, but someone's sculpture usually is not, this is a plain photo of someone's work. not all photos belong on facebook, but plain shots of other's work do.
So people who take photos of say modern art sculptures that aren't by them (Putting it in the photography category)and saying who it's by are stealing? It's some good photography and earned the maker of the sculpture allot of new fans, there aren't any downsides to it really, and anybody saying he used it to get more watchers, if he didn't put the name of the sculptor in the description then yes, he would get more because of this, but he did so anyone watching him because of it obviously didn't read the description so it's their fault not his.
i never said stealing, i said it devalues the user. but it is a dishonorable trick. some people on DA don't post things that they shouldn't because they KNOW it's wrong. your friend here has gained false fame for this and he should feel ashamed of himself. you can't trust anyone to read the fine print, because honestly how many times have you read the terms and conditions all the way through to anything? my guess it not very often. besides, I DID read the description, therefor this makes your arguement against me being angry at your friend invalid
HONEST users do not post any work that is not theirs to post. any watchers he gained from this were not deserved. this is a place to show what you can imagine and how you see the world, not what you see that someone else has worked hard on. HONEST artists frown upon what's been done here. you can have the most beautiful painting in the world and it could be yours, but if you take another's work and put it next to it the wonderful painting is devalued to very little.
think on my words, and help your friend learn from his mistakes.
