The reason you shouldn't steal art

Most of the people who knows me in real life know that I despise art thieves. I think that taking credit for someone elses hard work is a very low thing to do. If you aren't original, learn to be, it's possible. Or do fanart, as long as you don't traceXP
And I have discovered a real good reason not to steal art that hadn't even crossed my mind: Life's to short to live of someone elses hard work.
This here is a link to the full journal at DeviantArt by an amazing artist about why he has a zen attitude about art thieves.
Life is simply to short, and because the artist whose art most art thieves steal is very good, they are usually very popular, and you will be found out, and thrown out of wherever you choose to post your stolen art. So you get exactly nothing out of it in the end. Actually if you sell the art you stole, you can get landed with a big fat lawsuit, and then you get to pay a lot of money for stealing other people's art.

Word of the day:
泥棒 - dorobou - thief, burglar, robber, theft
