I can understand the anger created by those uploaders and I feel you guys but I´m also a fan of DA so this Title is a bit offending to me. Sorry hope you can understand.
This is not the first time, especially in recent history, that someone from DA has done this. I am a member there as well as here for over five years. I don't see this as 'slamming' DA at all.
That said, I have to say I don't quite agree with the following statement, either.
On Deviantart you barely find 1 single wallpaper or skin that has only original self-created stuff in it sadly...
A lot of artists here are also members at DA. There is tons of original work on both sites. DA does have a huge group of artists that work with stock images, but they take care to follow the rules and I see their work as original as every one elses.
Finally, DA, like Wincustomize, has rules posted on the site for submitting work, etc., etc. Without knowing this guys age, no matter what it may be in reality, he is obviously to immature to be posting or he would have read the guidelines before he posted or he actually 'knows' the rules and doesn't give a rats ass. He's been a member there for two months, so he's had time to look around. It's not like he actually created these cursors and went looking for a place to post them. He took the time to download them all from other sites. SOmewhere, in all his pilfering, he had to have come across some mention of rules or some mention of how this kind of behavior is frowned upon, among other things.
Nothing personal, but I am so sick and tired of people coming to the defense of this kind of behavior. Again, this isn't the first time for DA or other sites. The most recent occurrence with a DA artist was rather ugly, disturbing, and left a very bad taste in my mouth.
