bawww piracy is bad you're stealing a piece of my diary bawww buy my diary instead it'll make me feel better
Sorry, but when you put a price tag on your art it ceases to be art. I'd find it a hundred times more soul-rending to have my art appraised and sold like a material commodity rather than shared with whoever wants to enjoy it. True artists, people who actually care about getting the intention out there over getting the paycheck for themselves, would never ask you not to pirate their s**t. They want it shared all over the planet because the more people thinking about it the better. Isn't that the definition of appreciation? You wouldn't share it and throw it all over the place if you didn't WANT to share it.
Besides, how do you pirate the cartoon section of the news? Sounds like this Gary Larson guy is taking his line of work way too seriously.
tl;dr: art is free. if it's real art, it can't be stolen because it was created to be shared in the first place.
