What about if some of the artists are gone forever from the fandom and don't care about their art? What if some of them live in another country and have no way or intention of selling their art? I'm just saying that we have to take into account the relevant factors that determine if the behaviour is bad.
For a site like this, I agree, there could be a lot of people that are losing money to this site, and THEY have a right to demand it be taken down, but I just want to get to the bottom, to the crux of why the behaviour is bad. If we don't pinpoint it, and just allow ourselves to get in a frenzy of trying to protect our IP, maybe we do ourselves a disservice in the long run.
