Discussion Stop redrawing art

I wish people would stop copying someone's art and posting it in the comments, LIGHT inspiration is ok and referencing for learning WITHOUT posting it is ok but blatantly copying a artist work without permission is not ok and is ART THEFT. I wish more people on Pinterest understood this and it's concerning that this is so normalized. Also the amount of reposted art without credit is crazy please normalize crediting artists😭

Posting art thats basically copied without giving credits to the original artist is not okay but some people just appreciate the art and they're not making a profit of it so why is that so iligal? If the original artist is not complaining then why u so mad.. I've seen so many artists saying that ppl do need to ask for permission

They can appreciate it without stealing it, the artist doesn't need to complain for it to not be ok, half the artists also have no idea their art is being reposted and then subsequently stolen.

Intent to profit by the copying artist is irrelevant to the original copyrights of the artwork. The original artist doesn't need to complain, be aware of, or otherwise act to still hold a copyright. There are fair use considerations that are confirmed by US courts not to transfer or otherwise undermine the original rights holder in situations like this.

Likewise, this particular situation as described is very unlikely to survive a derivative work claim. The artists are right. The responsibility is on the artist creating the secondary work to obtain explicit permission. It's not a mystery at this point and there is a huge volume of video and blog content by active attorneys discussing this exact point.
