Having gone through my own DMCA slog with a news site using my artwork without permission, having copyright without it being registered is basically useless. I consulted two different lawyers and both of them recommended the same thing, register every work I produce, which is just not feasible.

Took 2 years and multiple self submitted DMCAs before they finally removed my artwork. Lawyers basically told me I couldn’t do shit unless I registered my art.

I’m so mad that ai generated objectionable material is considered fine because it isnt illegal but someone draws a werewolf with its dick out and it gets removed for “promoting beastiality”

Source: involved in a lot of NSFW furry artist communities and constantly see peoples work being removed, flagged, or accounts lost for less.
