Redirect to original
Description
There are people who see screenshots that are used in motivational posters as a form of art theft. Some see it as a form of fanart, protected by the Fair Use/Parody clause of the internet, others see it as nothing big, have a small laugh, and continue with their day.Now, while I support original artwork/referenced artwork and do not support art theft. I see no harm in screenshots being used to make posters with the purpose of making people laugh.
Another thing I don't support is people who "advocate" against screenshots. People who get butthurt over silly screenshots being used in posters, immediately calling them art thieves. Go whine to the people who trace these screenshots, and then give them off as "bases" and dare to demand credit for it, and color over them or you can shut up and draw. Frankly, I prefer you shut up.
It's obvious it's a screenshot and who made them, and most of the time, they don't claim to have made anything. So why the problem?
"I'm original, why can't you be?"
I'm sorry, not everyone is born with a magical original brain of wonderful original sugar and original rainbows like original you. Why not share your wonderful original wisdom and give us some original advice. Original.
And now I say.
Bring it on....but be original.

i don't see a big problem with it. most of the time it's just for shits and giggles. i would have a problem with someone if they said the entire thing is theirs and i have to credit just to post it elsewhere.
bullcrap, the pic didn't belong to them, just the caption.

There was a particular bastard who made me lose half of my motiposters.

wow that sucks. These days DA barely follow their own rules though, and it's under fan art, and if anything, there is Fair Use.

Haha! Thank you! I love motivational posters but... some people are just... weird.
You know, why not attack the people who make scans? Those are at least the ones doing something illegal. (:
And yes, those screenshots are just beautiful! lol

Wow *clap clap clap clap clap clap clap*
You my friend deserve a llama, this is just AMAZING
someone who finally is smart currently I'm in an art war with some people about this subject and They keep saying I stole the picture but In every picture I have it clearly stated that I did not make the picture and give credit to whoever did and I never claim to own the picture, just the words that hang below it

I made this poster because someone accused me of stealing art for a poster, even threatened to report me. So I decided to take a screenshot of screenshots. Can't say I stole that now, can they?

Believe me, they will accuse you of pretty much anything to get your art off the page
Man I have like eight people yelling at me some non sense and one of them thinks the people who delete the system is perfect.

If they say anything mean or offensive to you, you can always report them for harassment. Either way, I made this as a bit of a way to give them the bird.

I totally should, they not only ganged up on me, they insisted on cursing me out for no reason saying it was "An honorable way to argue"
So did any of your motivationals get removed?

Tehee, i like it after "I'm original, why can't you be"
It so true!!
But some ppl like to whine and whine and whine. And then find something new to whine about.

And that's why I don't like advocates of anything on DA.
