If you check the front page of dA you probably know the score by now. Wigsterman

[link] and makes it to the front page.
At the time that I'm writing this, it's been up for 25 hours and counting. What's really digusting about this, beyond credit to the author and undeserved popularity, Is that dA hasn't acted at all yet. Even as wigsterman starts selling prints!
It is now a top-selling print. He's now actually making money off of someone else's work. And since it's being sold through dA's print service, dA is getting a cut.
It is now a top-selling print.
dA is getting a cut.
dA has not taken down the print or the faux deviation.
That's pretty disgusting.
It's been up all day, and considering how many THOUSAND people have jumped on this, it's incredible that dA still hasn't taken either of them down.
Hours pass as both dA and Wigsterman STILL rake in cash from stolen work. Shows that dA is either incompetent or greedy.
yet another PR disaster for a slimy company
