My name is Samantha, but i go by Sam. I live in Maryland ( which is on the east cost of the USA if you didn't already know) and i'm currently going to school.
About four months before I joined DA my best friend made me start reading the Naruto books and since then I've just fallen in love with the series! I've read all the books and watch most of the anime (even the spin offseris :D ). it's actually what made me start working with digital arts, because i wanted to make my OCs as professional looking as possible. I made my first OC Emi about a month after I started reading mangas, and since I've designed and/or adopted quite a few more ;)
I'm actually a really weird person. I'm a little bi-polar and extremely OCD with everything but my bed room for some reason. In real life I'm actually very shy, but after a while of talking to someone i become a lot more open and care free. I'm kind of fun once you get to know me, so don't hesitate to stop by and say hi! ;)
I really hate writing these types of journal, but I'm getting tired of being spammed for absolutely no reason.
A few months back TeamShikaIno (https://www.deviantart.com/teamshikaino) (http://teamshikaino.deviantart.com/journal/Art-thief-e-e-387530794) informed me of an art thief who pretty much went through dA and reposted a bunch of popular artist's Homestuck art. I along with many other deviants nicely asked them to remove the stolen art, as it does not belong to them, but they haven't done so and don't intend to. They think all the stealing makes them more popular and "cooler".
Since they initially joined and stole a bunch of art, they haven't haven't continued to steal. T
A lot of you probably remember the online outrage over the 'Stop Online Piracy Act' (SOPA) copyright enforcement proposal that happened in 2012. Last week, the Department of Commerce's Internet Policy Task Force released a report on digital copyright policy that endorsed one piece of the controversial proposal: making the streaming of copyrighted works a felony.
As it stands now, streaming a copyrighted work over the Internet is considered a violation of the public performance right. The violation is only punishable as a misdemeanor, rather than the felony charges that accompany the reproduction and distribution of copyrighted material. SOPA
