I don't suppose I have a right to whinge about this at all, because I was asking for it and should have seen it coming, but it still annoys me.

Several of my deviations have been deleted due to copyright infringement.

They were mostly photomerges and little animations I'd made based on videos; derived works, as they're called, which unfortunately, are a breach of copyright.

That's all fine. I'm okay with it. What gets me is that someone reported one of my deviations as copyright violation, and that lead to it and all others being deleted. There are hundreds and hundreds of copyright-infringing works on DeviantArt, and someone just had to pick mine.

Aw well. Off to do some drawing.
