9-14-2002 Is it REALLY that hard to give credit where credit is due?
So I'm browsing the internet and stuff looking for some wallpapers to put on my computer... just cause I have a huge gallery doesn't mean I don't like to look at other people's stuff to put on the back of my laptop.. it's inspiration, really. I go to AnimeBGX and take a look at their selection because it was highly recommended and I see a wallpaper of the gates from the Ah My Goddess Movie (the SAME picture I was emailed with tons of times to clean up and scan and put in the gallery for people to look at and was requested individually by SEVERAL people). Now, I did put the gallery up for people to look at and use if they wanted to make a website design or something using them, but don't fuggin take something that is so well known and pretend like I didn't spend hours cleaning that crinkled and messed poster up to make YOUR wallpaper making go faster. What really REALLY got me about this is the little disclaimer at the bottom of the image saying "don't take this... blah blah" when they did it themselves. I hate hypocrisy.
Another website that pissed me off is Anime Castle. This one was brought to my attention by several of our loyal fans who noticed that not only were a lot of images they used in their wallpapers could have come from this page, but that on their Nadesico contest section they blatantly took our scans and acted like they ripped up their art book and scanned and cleaned up and marked the images so if they were ever taken I'd know about it.... another of the websites having the "disclaimer" crap

Apparently some people heard about this rant and did some changes. Thanks to all the people who helped!
