Entry #4 What's Mine Is Mine (Art)

  Unfortunately, the world of art is very corrupt where people constantly take others art then passes it off as their own. Because of this, there is a constant need to watermark work which can be very annoying and takes away from the art. Thankfully more ways to protect your art do exist but we shouldn't have to do it in the first place.

 Image creating a piece of art that took days to complete just to look online the next day or reverse image searching it and you see someone claiming its theirs. It's extremely infuriating not only because you aren't getting recognition but because someone else is also profiting who did no work at all. Sadly, the only positive note of it all is most the time they will get caught. Or if you're the original artist you can try and claim it in order to get it taken down.

 To end this off the art world in unfortunately scummy with people everywhere ready to take what's yours. Thankfully we do have tools to protect ourselves but as I said earlier it's sad that we have to rely on these at all. Since almost every protective measure takes away from the original piece of art. Such as water marks or decreasing resolution however it's what we have to do in order to protect what's ours.

My source is that I made it up.
