Does anyone on Deviantart know if this is true and as bad as it sounds? That's a link to a thread on Godawful about how the new agreement on DA basically makes you sign your work over to them once you post it. I'm about to yank all my stuff from there. Damn, and just the other day I was thinking how much cooler it was then stupid Elfwood, which is such a hassle.

This comment isn't going to be much help, but I've never put any of my stuff on Deviantart because I thought all their legal docs were complete crap. I've had people violate MY copyrights on their site, and DA's protection and follow-ups for copyright violations aren't great either. I've always blamed it on how little they educated their users, and what complete idiots they are understanding copyright and what's considered fair responsibility on their part.

Actually, that's a big part of what people are saying on GAFF in that thread, too. They just don't seem to care about copyright violations. It's not as if anyone's going to even look at my crappy art, much less steal it, but I'm thinking of yanking my stuff down just pn principle. I'm a little pissed that I gave them my money, actually.
