It's become clear to me (through my own experience and through the exeperience of others here at DA) that the kids who run DA have no way of protecting your copyrights to your work. To make a long story short, DA made my "Shoetube" a Daily Deviation (for the second time), someone stole it and called it their own and DA pulled mine for copyright violation. Friends here have reported similar but different issues and this one is really the last straw.

I've been doing this work as tsubasa for 8-9 years now and I have a website of more than 100 images which gets an average of 275,000 visitors per year. I take a lot of pride in what I do and work hard to protect my rights as an artist. I'm no longer going to help DA sell advertising by contributing my work when they don't know how to protect it.
