DA condoning Art theft

A base isn't an "exact duplicate" of somebody's art so you can't really fuss about legal copyrights, but it's not considerate of the artist's feelings and it's morally wrong whether it's legal or not.  Reusing a pose is one thing, but when you take somebody else's character (or a real person!) and strip them naked/make them bald and start selling them off for Points and making profit off somebody else's effort, that just isn't right.

Using bases instead of drawing by yourself is lazy anyway, but even the base makers are too lazy to draw these days.
