Stealing

Okay, so this is an old thread, but it has the right title.

I was browsing today and discovered this site: http://www.supergirlforever.com/art_photomanips.php
As far as I can tell the website is comprised almost entirely of 'stolen' artwork.

I could say that it p!sses me off when people post other people's work and do not credit the artist, but it happens so often that it honestly doesn't bother me anymore.

I think what is bugging me is what a complete waste of time the Supergirl Forever website is - he's just reposting stuff that is already freely available.

To me it would make more sense to post thumbnails of pics and then have links to the originals on Heromorph, Deviantart etc. That would be doing the viewers of his website a better service.

That's all his website is... reposting images and news that already existed without any added value... is creativity dead?

(can anyone tell that I'm bored and trying to start an argument?)
