And this is why, one day, dA is going to look like this: [link]
I personally think dA staff's current methods of enforcing copyrights are a load of shit. Copyright infringement is copyright infringement, and they should remove violations of their own website's policy regardless of who is reporting it. Copyright violations have become even more important to dA ever since they started plastering ads in every crevice they could possibly find. This means they are making money (hand over fist, I'm sure, considering how many people are on this website) through these copyrighted images. I highly doubt that a big ol' badger of a company (especially if it's a company like Toei Animation) will politely ask to remove the offending images. They're going to want compensation for the work making dA money without their permission, or they're going to sue. And if one company sues, that's going to scrounge up just about every copyright violation this site has to offer. dA would be, quite frankly, fucked beyond help.
