Hey there,
I don't know if anyone of you noticed but i got a very disturbing message from ~
vissroid He read the submision agreement and was stunned by what it said. So i read it as well and i must say that i find it very disturbing to say the least. I hadn't noticed the entire agreement before and i don't know how long it is there but if you read it you will be just as amazed as we are. Deviantart basicly can do whatever they want with our art. If we remove our art and they have copies of it they can do whatever they want with those. So we don't have anything to say about our own art..... How is that??!! Maybe i misinterpeted some things but i don't think so. I'd like to hear what you think about this agreement. Just click submit and you'll see it. Read it in let me know what you make of it and what you think about it.
read my journal, it provides a link
The submission agreement only means that DA is allowed to upload your thumbs without getting sued! nothing to worry bout'

Does that sound to you like it is meant for thumbnail making only btw??
When we used to submit, we didnt have to accept, thats the only thing they changed, but the submission agreement has always been like that, you did accept it at one point
