First and formost, deviant art is a HUGE site, there is no way for the mods to remove every single copy right violtion deviation they come across. That is why it is up to the community and people like myself to do 'clean up.'

Secondly, other sites do things differently. What works on one site will not necessarily hold true on the other. Deviant art is an art community not Facebook or Photobucket- only original art is accepted. Anything used that is the property of another artist/company or institution without prior written permission from the owners is considered copy right violation. Under some laws, this is seen as a criminal offence, as such deviant art protects itself from lawsuits by strictly prohibiting the use of copy right materials being submitted on their site.

You say there are other users here on dA that are doing this: then as a respected member of this art community I encourage to pass this message onto them and in doing such- remove your own deviations that contain copy right material. As aforementioned- failure to do so will result in a report being issued against you.

Let us roll all our strength and all
Our sweetness up into one Ball:
And tear our pleasures with rough strife,
Through the Iron gates of Life:
Thus, though we cannot make our Sun
Stand still, yet we shall make him run.
