I don’t see enough people talking about the fact that if people stopped giving reposters notes and follows, they would be much less likely to steal art

with some people there seems to be an attitude of “oh well it’s already been reposted so it doesn’t hurt to reblog it” but all that’s doing is giving the art thief positive feedback and encouraging them to post more

by reblogging reposts you’re also increasing the circulation of the art, thereby taking it further out of the artist’s control

please don’t reblog art that’s been posted without permission because in doing so you’re just as bad as the art thieves themselves
