This is a prevalent problem at almost every social and art site that sells ad's!
Viruses are infecting computers directly from the advertisements. DeviantArt is NOT immune to the problem!! A simple easy solution would be owners of said websites previewing and monitoring the advertisements the allow to shown on their websites. They are getting paid to show them they should monitor and remove any ad that have ANY Form of virus, worm, trojan, mal-ware or spyware!! I had to reformat my computer this past week because of worm that could have come from any of several sites. It's sad in my opinion these sites are making a PROFIT off infecting their members computers!!!

I have to applaud one artist for posting this:


I have to agree with her.
While I won't take down my gallery I may withhold adding new work to it for the time being!

I can no longer call myself a gypsy wanna be
I have lived too long in a single place
but it's time to move again
and I thought Gypsy would be a good theme to honor that.
By the time I was 18 I had lived in 20 different places
and 8 different states.

I saw a beautiful piece of art work today that was highly referenced from a photograph from a website that has an extremely shady reputation. It reminded me yet again how many "traditional" medium artist truly disregard the copyrights of Photographers over and over and over again. Photographs on such sites as photobucket, MSN Groups, MySpace (unless Official photographer, model, actesses page), goggles images, yahoo images etc are often stolen images or NOT Free for use. google is scanning websites and has not right to give permission for use as a reference of to be used in a manipulation or derivative work. That is true for the rest of those site.
So yet again I find myself telling ALL Artists if you don't want your art work stolen WHY are YOU Stealing Others Work???
It's simple ASK! If the answer is No Respect it! There are plenty of terrific models and photographers that offer both Free and yes Sometimes paid for Stock work to be used as references and stock for manips and Derivatives without stealing the work of someone that isn't!
Alas I know I talking to a wall since DA policies Allow such Outright Theft and turn a blind eye. But if you are going to sell your work and make a profit off someone elses work the least you can do is ASK!

ok stepping off my podium again..think about it
