During that time, people would buy stickers from shops that used
our art without permission. And didn't give back.
Now, people are chatting about buying them from stores that don't give
a cent back. Basically, they are copyright violations. Unauthorized.
Theft. I paid people to draw them.
It was a loss-generating venture.
I learned my lesson. I won't put any effort into anything like that
again, because I don't like being stabbed in the back by community
who will buy from people who steal from me.
