Original art : Do not steal

[_cf]

Ad Agency steals spanking art from EndArt and Kamitora. mfw

In before somebody from that agency says it's carboning, not tracing, so it's alright.

Disgusting but unsuprising.

Advertisters have been stealing art, creativity and ideas that they like - or from each other - for decades, but never more so than the last few years.

Or are you just jealous that they've been published again and this time - its without you? : P

*raises eyebrow* Huh... I can definitely see it in the second one (albeit with some serious editing from the original concerning the spankee's downstairs area to make it less adult).

I guess my main question is: why? I mean, I know advertisers steal ideas all the time and that they're trying to suggest their squeeze bottles are better than the old "hit the bottom" style glass bottles... but that's just weird. We're they just like "Hey, random pictures on some backwater internet site; no one cares about taking their stuff!"?

Hey, at least that time the shameless publisher simply took the pics from the internet "as is". I got pretty weirded the time I found, many years ago, somebody editing my drawings to make the spankees look like boys. (it was on yahoo groups or something)

But the truth is, I get angry with art theft because if the artist was less lazy I'd have two more spanking pics to look at.

Probably.
Advertisers nick things a lot bigger and better protected than that every day.

A lot of advertising on facebook (usually for games) just is just stealing art from dA of girls with massive boobs/cleavage too.

As someone who worked in advertisement for 5 years (excellent place for sadomasochistic behavior) I can recall several times when the CEO would be all excited that he saw something really cool and that we should just copy it. The same reaction could come from the client, and in that case there is no arguing with.

At the time I was living in Israel and there was a very successful tv ad that was totally ripped off in the US Superbowl.

But hey, it's it cool seeing spanking ads everywhere? :P

I hate that people can actually get away with this sorta thing. It'd be good if people had more options available to them to defend their intellectual property
