I dont see protecting our own right of the original art as a artist as "selfish" ???
If some people really think that as "selfish" then its really... rreaäaally wrong to believe that. Like Alismora said, the rights of the art is still ours and youre just buying the permission for your personal use.
I find this examples given a good good example.
Like i understand if the art doesnt interest you anymore, you would want it to give it to someone else who is.
I dont mind it giving for free since giving have always has been a nice gesture to me.
But re-selling it for a compensation after a short amount of time is what bother me sometimes... ^_^"
I dont see them as the "same"
Heh.. i even bought items of artists on conventions or ordered personally because i like it and like i said it earlier, the thought of reselling of items i bought in the past never occured to me.
😅😅😅
There is even art in my folder thats back from ... from 2010 and its still.. never trown away xd even tho my old laptop kinda went to heaven... and my recent laptop is getting there soon ... too
I have lots o old art that i bought or for got free that i still havent used (waaaaa sorry my fellow artists!)
But still never occured to me to resell/give away the pieces xd
Sometimes like martini, i still use em from time to time. 🤔
My spelling and putting in words might be off.. i just woke up heh
