Desktop Nexus - Watermarks - Copyright

Today I received a message from Secretadmires asking my permission to use my work on the site desktopnexus.com - Maugans Corporation.
Because most of my work are manipulations, I use stock in them that are not owned by me, so I decided to decline the request.

I remembered the name desktop nexus already been linked previously here on dA community with art theft, so visit this site and read their Terms of Service. There was a clause that jumped out at me immediately:

Extract.
You May Use the Material on Our Website

All materials contained in this Website are the copyrighted property of Maugans Corporation. All trademarks, service marks, trade names and trade dress are proprietary to Maugans Corporation and/or third party licensors.

Clearly it is understood that if I accepted the request, would also be giving them all rights over my work, which I found unacceptable.
People obtaining monetary profits, no I get absolutely nothing. Is not that something dirty?

Obviously, my response was to decline the request.

This made ​​me reconsider the following topics:

Watermaks.

A very good and complete Journal about watermarks.
To Watermark or To Not Watermark.....A few questions to ask yourself first.
A. Do you value your own artwork?
B. Are you proud to tell the world you created your own artwork?
C. Do you value other peoples artwork enough to not steal?
The answer to all of these should be YES!  (If its no MySpace is that way --> )
Its a sad fact but un-watermarked large pictures are a rippers dream come true... DA is a proven gold mine for anybody wanting to take up art theft as a hobby, and just because you have a written disclaimer in your description stating that your artwork is not to be redistributed hardly makes a difference.  Anybody who has browsed the net or received a dreaded note stating that your art has been ripped will know intimately how disheartening and sickening it is, and what an almost futile fight it is to try and get the artwork removed or the ripper shut down. Watermarks don't have to be horrible clunky things that destroy the artwork its supposed to be protecting, and they really could mean By Elandria
