On Twistd's art.
Recently, someone uploaded his whole site and uploaded the whole thing on one of these awful free Hentie porn sites where artists get broken all the time by pirates. We got it taken down, but man, the gaul of these people. The art he does is classical art and takes so long. The argument of, 'people will pirate so just expect people to and hope for donations from your fans' wont cut it to keep people like him drawing. That sort of art takes too much time and is more than a full time job.
For those of you who do this sort of stuff, just remember that you are screwing yourselves over. All you have to do is pay a little bit and all who view should pay a little bit to keep art like this going. It is not a lot to ask for, and a dedicated core of fans should not be supporting a whole bunch of freeloaders. That is not sustainable and art like this will go away.
