Oh most definitely!

All three servers have rules that protect the integrity of a skinner's work. Though LOTC been behind my back since I ran into my first name-mc skin stealer. I'm just really thankful to have people around who watch my back when it comes to these types of problems. What surprised me the most was when I was introduced to my first skin stealer. Since my skinning style mostly resonates with the style of SRPers, I always had the idea that it would stick to the world of SRP rather than attract anyone from LOTC where skins are a lot more detailed and take a lot more work and effort; and yet to my surprise, my first stealer was from LOTC.

I just wish though that Planet Minecraft had some sort of LOCK when it comes to downloading stuff. I tried figuring out how but to no avail was I able to find anything. If there was a lock that existed, I'd be posting a lot more of my own work here on the site such as commissions or special gifts to friends that I have. That or selling skins on the site to other people who'd like the skin. I take it that the people who don't read the VERY BOLD AND LARGE PRINT are just really young players who don't look at anything and are just wearing it because it seems pretty. I was the same when I was young after all, I didn't know the effort that went into this stuff when I was ten until I started doing stuff like skinning and digital art myself xD

It's not something that can be stopped, but Planet Minecraft needs to make a better system for it's artists.
