Done?

It is becoming clear that the god damn world is completely going to die for this, all of the copyright companies wants to make the big bucks by stealing our art and using it as their own, legalizing art theft and menacing you by telling you that your art WILL be stolen if you don't pay 5$ for EACH ONE OF YOUR PICTURES.¹
_{1: Basically any form of art.}

This is simply insane, as quoted from the article above, the only ones who would benefit from this are the companies that places a god damn "C" in the corners of your images. This basically eliminates the illusion of many young aspirant artists to start a career on it just because they won't have the resources to register EVERY SINGLE IMAGE they create! Even worse, actual art careers such as graphic design and others might get cancelled over time since pupils will fear actually crafting items just to see them get stolen and sold without the original artists making a single penny out of it!

If right now you're thinking about posting "but who cares? my art isn't even worth copying...", then i politely ask you to GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY USERPAGE!, i don't want anyone who thinks down of their art reading this, i know that people who does appreciate their art and do not want it to be stolen will keep reading and will THINK about it.
I advice you as a fellow artist to begin making a backup of every file in your gallery. If this law is stabilished as official, DeviantArt will just become a tool for art theft and will not be safe anymore, the license included in our deviations will not avail us, it will worth a peanut.

Now, there are many deviants "hoping" or "assuring" that this won't happen. I shit you not, this CAN happen and probably WILL if no one does something, those "no one"'s are US!
I can imagine right now: "Yeah, why does not somebody do something about it?"
There is no "somebody" in this place, there is an "us". Raise your voice, visit the links linked from the site i posted above and let your complaint be heard, we cannot allow this to happen!

Why you?
Why me?
Why us?
WHY NOT?
