Not to be discouraging, but...
9 cases have been known filed as legal action against people over furry art
theft. 7 were thrown out, as their respective states do not uphold
copyright on pornographic materials, and 2 resulted in the /arist/ being
penalized, as the material was deemed inappropriate by state standards
(under anti-obscenity acts)
0 people have been successfully recompensated to date for furry art theft.
It's also a good example of how the US legal system, on all levels, is
uninterested in any open-minded or free will decision making.
