Many working in the comic industry and illustration business got their start doing that. And many of those in the industry still sell their fan art.

"False anger"...? Not sure why you think I'm "pretending" to be mad. Or why you think that I'm actually mad at this guy for selling his fan art, since I never said that. If he can make a buck doing something he enjoys, I'm all for it. He can sell all the art he wants, I wouldn't dream of taking it away from him.

What I (and apparently others) take exception to is that fact that he's being hypocritical. He makes his money completely ripping people off, but takes exception when other people (allegedly) do it to him? It just makes him look bad.

But, perhaps this isn't the place for such a debate.
