Ok I have seen this over and over again, in almost every digital field, whether it be coding, pictures, video, or digital interactive mediums (Video games).
Easy targets being Ubisoft and deviantart users.

Here are two examples, the first one is too small to be useful, or even good looking. The second one.... who puts a GIANT water mark in the middle of their artwork making it so the water mark covers half of your image.....
And I won?t even get into Ubisoft, they know and I know what they did, there is no defence for making your games unplayable by people who bought them because they are dumb enough to believe that every pirated copy is a lost sale or that piracy is ruining the industry.
Even when it comes to video, occasionally you can see these logo's or watermarks that take up a good portion of the video's, luckily that has been mostly phased out....
And uggg coders, Gmod is the worst, most of the coders there refuse to share their work, so they want to show it off and make everyone jealous but will they share it; no. The excuse being that they made it if anyone one else wants it they can make it themselves. Honestly not everyone has the time to make something that took you 80+ hours to make. And when someone succeeds in making something similar they start screaming that someone copied them.... So you can?t win.
So here is my point, why the hell, do these retards, some who are good artists
A: Honestly believe that anything on the internet is forever there's alone.
B: Thinks that they can protect their art by making it worse. Which in the end only hurts them?
C: Actually thinking that copyright has any meaning on public domains that can be accessed from nearly ANYWHERE in the world.*
Are these people honestly that stupid to not realize this? ANYTHING (good) you release that has access to the internet will be copied, others will say it is theirs, people will use it and change it, so instead of spending your time trying to stop the tides spend your time making better art!
*Note: Yes you can send out copyright violation notices to many websites and most of them will respect it, but many artists give up on making anything because there work gets copied.
