You are breaking the sites rules and terms of agreement (You can be suspended or permanently banned. 2. It’s actually illegal, you you heard right!, ILLEGAL to post art without the artist agreement, and if you’re selling it, my god have mercy on you soul. 3. This kind of behaviour will haunt you for the rest of your life. Nobody wants to hire a known thief. NOBODY. Art industry or retail or otherwise, that record gonna look even worse when you say ‘Oh it was only for a RPG and everyone was just overreacting’ I can guarantee it’s not. Nobody is gonna care, the only thing they’ll care about, is the theft is in bold print on that record and that they way you handled it was less than desirable. Just because you can’t physical hold (At least until it’s printed) do not mean it’s not property. Theft is theft. End. Of. Story. Though one of the biggest problems is that most of the time you’re completely helpless when your work gets stolen. I once had photos of mine stolen and uploaded on some board by disgusting old men. But reporting them was to no use, because it was an American board and I’m from Germany. And honestly — the police doesn’t give a shit about these “little” things. Don’t get me wrong, what you’re saying is completely right, but unless you’re some uber famous artist no one cares, especially if you’re from another country. -- source link
