Colorful and difficult vocabulary notwithstanding, I couldn't have said the same thing myself. That said, most blog posts related to this subject matter are tl;dr anyway. I'm gonna add you to my Google Reader feed list. Of all the blogs I’ve read – or bothered to read – yours happened to be the most sensible take I’ve ever read.

I have no right in debating against others stealing my works (because according to Google Stats, my blog is the "tail end" of the blogging popularity, as apart from the rest of the anime blogging community), but indeed if others have taken the time and effort to cite the source of my works (take <a href="http://gordonator.com/2009/08/04/cosfest-viii/" rel="nofollow">gordon</a> for example – even though it's only one photograph) I'll try to reciprocate in kind. (Then again, I don't take anyone else's photographs yet.) Well, others have suggested that one should build a page specific to listing down the requirements of citations and sources of images and photographs, as well as blog content. Let's just see what are the consensus of the anime blogosphere. I feel for you, Chikorita157.

(I am not worthy) :P As long as one doesn't steal images and credit it as their own, all is well. I wouldn't mind if any artist asked me to withdraw their artwork from my site. And yeah, the whole imageboard thing murkies the origin. Apparently, I am not most photographers since I can’t be bothered to watermark my work. (I am not worthy) :P

I know this now since there was one person who stole 5 posts I made on my blog and claim it theirs. Although my blog is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0, he had no permission to copy it nor he put any attribution to any of my hard work. This led me to send DMCA takedown notices until he completely removed my work from his site. The moral of the story is you need to try to attribute someone's work by adding the artist name and page or try your best to. After all, you don't want someone walking off with any type of work and claim it theirs. Crediting fanart is important, but if it’s difficult to find the credit, just have the community to help you…

But don't get me wrong: there are some artists that did not sign their artworks for valid reasons. But in the most respectable aspect, if it takes too much to advertise yourself, prepare to be assimilated (to any image boards). I'm raising this post more as a lulz rather than a serious discussion. I may/may not go into deeper talk about it, but that's provided the e-dorama goes way overboard.

Otherwise if it takes too long...forget it. Hmm, but if there’s a great image with a signature or something, wouldn’t hurt to credit, no? Otherwise if it takes too long…forget it.
