Just came on, saw everyone's IDs- had a lol at first.
but not a corrupt lol, not full-blown lulz
Not until I figure out who's responsible for it

For future reference:
hacker prank (inflated w/ steroids): mega lulz
dA Admin april fools: NOT lulz

looking froward to everyone's level headed and totally not knee-jerk reaction to all of this (this IS the internet after all)

  • Mood: I Have To Pee
  • Listening to: that splashing sound
  • Reading: for a good time call jenny
  • Watching: it always swirls in the same direction

Wigsterman steals work, makes $$$, dA takes cut.

If you check the front page of dA you probably know the score by now. Wigsterman [link] steals from oilcorner [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
