t seems there’s nothing quite as dear to the hearts of many of our deviants as their production of fan art, and at the same time, there is nothing so knotted with legal and ethical headaches. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but in the form of fan art it has also become one of the most frustratingly complicated. At some point, the sheer volume of fan art around a single property may become so large that the issue rises to another level of scrutiny by the creators of the original work.
With this dynamic in mind, we thought the following panel that Josh Wattles, our Ad

:smoking: ... Because everyone smokes when they write big long important letters and shit that deviantART wont read. (we might get lucky?) Go compare the layout of dA now, to that of Flickr, or 500px or society6. And you'll agree with everything about to be said.

Stock and Resources: Policy Clarification
The Stock and Resources community is an integral part of deviantART, both for having an active community of its own as well as providing high quality stock to all deviants.
As this community has grown so much over the years, so has the amount of invalid stock and resources that have been provided by some deviants. The Stock and Resources community feels like this reflects negatively on them, the volunteers have a hard time trying to teach people about valid stock and how to use it correctly, and it gives an appearance that deviantART Staff tolerate so-called “art theft” or copyright infringement.

Hey there people! Let's gab about abstract art.
To start, I hate it. I both love it at the same time. That's the nature of that art. Abstract art is meant to evoke an emotion out of you, in a minimalist way or in a complex one, that's the main goal of art in general, is to evoke emotion and responses. And I guess since i'm writing about it despite my loathing nature for the majority of it, I guess it's successful either way. So let me just blab out the main point of this.
Abstract art is often shat out by people who can't fully grasp the concept of their own work themselves. They rely on the general stupidity of the public to crap out an ex
So you get tired and you lay down, and you close your eyes and and your mind wanders. Then, strange thoughts and images begin to get into your mind. Not bad things, just things that didn't really come from your own mind. You go into a daze. You get more and more of these foreign thoughts until you snap awake.
What just happened? You're suddenly thinking of something that wasn't part of your own thought process.
Now, try doing it differently. When you're tired, lay down and leave your mind clear. You'll get subtle images or sounds that you didn't purposely come up with. Pay close attention to them. The trick is to concentrate. Sometimes it's

How the hell you gonna enforce this?
Just forget the "Restriction on the freedom of speech" thing for a sec.
Let's take a ook at the logistics.
Since you know... Who doesn't write or say Something Offensive on the internet... including the word "FUCK"!
Since hey I'm guilty too. (looks in shame)
How many cops do you need for this thing... to do the arrests?
How many vehicles are needed so that the cops can drive from location A to B to do the arrests.
The system (Super Computers) that needs to be in place... to control and record "trolling" on every site.
