Well as much as I think it's a bunch of crap, the reality is that the guy has done nothing wrong or illegal [in the eyes of the law that is]. Since 90% of manips are done using free model images, and we are doing pictures of copyrighted characters and we cannot copyright these images ourselves after posting them on the free internet. Then it becomes free game to whomever wants to use it. Sure we have standards that we live by as artists but just like we see stores selling prints of other famous paintings or photographs..i guess this falls in that same category. Yeah its sh** but what can you do?
