Everything is copyright and belongs to Megan Miller. Ok, you've probably heard it a million times in your life. I don't think it's that hard, yet it is for some people.
People work hard on their graphics.
And some people will just take them, and even worse say they made them themselves or earned them when they didn't. It's not just graphics though, it's ideas. I must say I have had a little problem with that. Some people were at least kind enough to take a button and link back to my site, and others will at least ask, but by that point, so many people have taken the idea already, one more doesn't seem like anything. Now that sounds terrible and look where it gets a person.
