So here I am on good 'ol youtube checking out some Wesker/RE themed videos when I happen to land upon this one.
[link]Now watch it and you'll recognize A LOT of the artwork from A LOT of artists here on DA

While they mention that the pictures are in fact from DA. . .somehow I don't think they went through the effort of asking

[
to list a few] and all the other artists if they could actually use their artwork in the video.
My question is now. . .would this be considered art theft even though they credited getting the pictures from DA? I strongly think so, but take it as you will.
Devious Comments
Did you message them or anything?

Bringing you Delicious Insanity since 1987
Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one, it an art that's hard to teach.
As far as reporting him and stuff. Youtube won't force him to take it down as they don't care. He won't remove it, and it's just gonna be a messy war. I mean, he's not gaining money from it, and he never claimed that "OMG I made all these cause I rulez!" So, I'd just let it go...
I just wanted people who had their work taken to know so maybe they can ask him to do something about it

I mean, I've done the same thing, but I immediately credit dA artists for the work... it's still not 100% right, but still... And, with fanart, there's a point at which all you can really do is credit Capcom, you know? Just those simple little words, "Resident Evil (c) Capcom" or whatever...crediting just isn't a top issue anymore and it's just sad...
*Sorry for the long rant.* And, I didn't mean to come off as mean in the last post, blazer!
One person actually came to me once, and let me know that one of the pics I used belonged to him. (Whether it actually did, I dunno.) I immediatly catered to him. He said it was fine and didn't care that'd I'd used it. ANd, that was truly the end of that...
I guess knowing about it is all the rage...
*It's almost 4 am, so my writing is a little more... eloquent then usual...haha*
Funny...
Although it would have been nice to at least ask the artist for permission or if you just snatched the pic at least give a link for it.

Not in cruelty,
Not in wrath,
The Reaper came today;
An Angel visited
this gray path,
And took the cube away...

Those limits you might see that cause doubt is all in your head.
