"Unlike in the past, piracy today is a highway robbery"
Heya everyone!
Its me here nekokyun!
My works got leaked on kemono.party lolz. First things first, I have done what I can and I will leave the rest to the will of the higher being.
I guess this is what it felt when someone stole your work right? You feel like your hard working piece being used elsewhere without your consent etc.
In my case, I have a different feeling. It's not me frustrated that my work got stolen. Heck tbh, I do not even care about my work being stolen in the first place. I still have my skills - and I can always use that to brings in more honest revenue. I can just go 'meh'.
What I frustrated is the feeling of failing the supporters. People who genuinely supports me with their hard earned cash for being entertained by my works (and my quirks sometimes - thanks Discord community). The acts of these leakers is nothing but an insult to honest genuine supporters.
If you want to debate with me about being pious of anti-piracy - unlike in the past, piracy today literally has no solid ground basis. It is just a highway robbery. Piracy in the past helps shapes the online market today with much more better accessibility and more affordable pricing.
In short, stay away from involving sites like kemono.party as that website is nothing more than a website that its foundation is to scrape and archive artworks illegally like a highway robberer. There is no solid moral grounds in accepting such premises. Additionally you will hurt a lot of artists on crowd funding platforms. Not everyone have extravagant amount of monthly income. Take me who is now currently at 25k - 30k yen monthly from Fanbox. How much miserable person are you to steal money from an already broke person.
Thus I have come into conclusion, after I done what I could, if things cannot be solved, I will just ignore it altogether. After all, karma will hits, if its not now, it will be in the future.
I will keep continue drawing, because I still believe in the good faith of everyone.
Although I apologise if there's too much changes happening in short time in this Fanbox due to certain people trying to ruin everyone's fun. I need to enforce certain changes to at least mitigates such problems. I know I cannot solve everything. If you guys have any constructive suggestions and feedbacks, please feel free to email me.
And feel free to give feedbacks regarding this post. I humbly apologise if there has been any inconvenience.
I end this with - I draw what I want to draw - and I genuinely thanks to everyone for supporting me.
Lets do our best together! Onwards to 2022!
