Why did it get deleted? I didn't do anyth

punksafetypin,

1 deviation of yours, listed below, has been removed from deviantART due to a violation of our policies:

Title: Vintage Wallpaper
URL: [link]
Submitted: 2007-03-19 4:35:33 pm

The administrator who deleted your deviation added the following:

Brushes used in this submission contained stolen material. It is not your fault as you did not know, however all submissions using the stolen brushes must be removed.




So, I download a brush, use it, give credit... an because the creator of the brush used images he/she shouldn't I get punished? Even dA recognizes that it's not my fault... I know the brushes contain stolen material and blah blah blah... If you know me, you already know that I'm strongly against art thieves and that I always give credit, even when it's not necessary. But I used those brushes according to the rules, I think I didn't do anything wrong, and I get my work deleted anyway.

And you know what? I'm mad at whoever decided to delete the deviations containing those brushes (I'm sure a lot of people used them in good faith and now they're going through the same... and that a lot of people didn't even follow the rules, didn't give credit and maybe their deviations are still on their galleries just because of that), but I'm madder at the person who made the brushes with stolen images. If I knew that, I'd have never used them.

Today, I hate art thieves even more, 'cause they affect us in ways I didn't imagine they could.

Yeah, I know I'm maybe overreacting, but I just woke up and the first thing I see is a note informing me that one of MY deviations has been deleted for SOMEBODY ELSE's fault.
