Currently, dA removes copyright-infriging art or writing about which they've received a DMCA cease-and-desist letter from the copyright holder.
That's all.
There's no follow-up to see that the dA member is not constantly repeating, in a long-standing pattern of copyright abuse before or since. There's no penalty to a dA member for continual copyright abuse-- in other words, it's a crime without punishment. WHY NOT keep up the piracy, if the only punishment is the removal of SOME of the material, and there's no long-term or more severe penalty?
Does dA even have a mechanism to alert staff when there's a pattern of repeated copyright infring

Adjusting to Life in a Wheelchair
0 min read
So I've been in a wheelchair since January.
It's....not that bad. At least, not that bad compared to crutches. Crutches are wobbly and tiring. Wheelchairs are a lot more relaxing to use, unless there's a staircase or uphill incline.
People have been, for the most part, overly kind and accommodating. Strangers give me a push. Even "standing" in line at a bank, kind people tell me to go to the head of the line as though the head of the line is a handicapped parking spot. ...As though I'm not sitting down while the rest of the people in line are standing. I try to point that out-- that I'm the only one in line who had the foresight to bring a

Making Darwinism Sexy: A Satiric Essay
0 min read
SPOILER ALERT
This essay contains Strong Language, and other words about reproduction, religion, and politricks.
If you don't mind cussin' and adult sexy talk, and you're a liberal Darwinist, you'll enjoy this essay.
Children and other small-minded people should probably stop reading here, if their reading skills allowed them to make it this far.
Kids, Creationists, and Conservatives, go play, pray or prey.
----------
Smart, broad-minded Darwinists, it's up to US to come up with a more accurate and sexier slogan for evolution. Our current slogan, "Survival of the Fittest", isn't a clear evolutionary improvement over Creationists' lates

hi. wanna join my group called Anti-illuminati-01? anti-illuminati-01.deviantart.…
Ummm.... I took a look at your gallery, and formed an opinion of the group. Although I'm broadly anti-religion, this group of yours seems a little too "fringe", "out there", for me. It sees blatant "all-seeing eye" symbol use as "subliminal" when it's in reality quite overt. It sees that as proof of the influence of the Illuminati (a secret religious group from waaaay back in European history) today, whereas I see the "all seeing eye" (one eye atop a pyramid) as a symbol of Freemasonry's influence, not the Illuminati's, in American government since America's inception.
I see the Freemasons as a fraternity with secrets. I don't see evidence of an "Illuminati" that is a religious zealots' secret club working toward world domination.
I think there are forces working to undermine democracy, but I see those as 1-percenter superrich and corporations, who only incidentally invoke religious themes when it coincides with their core goals.
