License agreement on Art Station and New Grounds etc

[Pubic Enemy]

Hi PE,

Thanks so much for responding.  I figure that they're just covering their asses too — and I know a lot of pro artists are posting their work there (and I see all three of you have accounts).

After reading your story I can certainly understand why you find the license agreement so unsavory; but it really does just look like ass-covering (as you said also). Even with Facebook posting privileges, I don't think anyone realistically has anything to fear from AS using their art. Whereas random goons on the Internet will steal artwork regardless of where it's posted if they think somebody might buy something with the art on it.

Thank you for the compliment. I've been looking at your sketchbook also, and your stuff looks cooler than ever; I've certainly gotten careless about updating mine. I really only post on sites like AS and Reddit because I'm curious to see if something will be a "hit"; I have had about 10 "hits" and 80% of them were fan art. Completely different environment from forums.
