resist - goodbye deviantart!

i´m closing my stock account and i will delete all my deviations, cause the new submission policy from DA is a rip-off! if you haven´t already read the new policy, please be sure to read it carefuly!

here´s why:
.....In general, by submitting photographic, artistic, computer-generated and/or other materials (audio, visual, audiovisual and otherwise) to us and agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth below, you are giving us the nonexclusive right (i.e., you can grant similar rights to others at any time) to use those materials on and as part of our websites (e.g., to include your materials in our database which we make freely available over the World Wide Web). You are also representing to us that, among other things, you have the right to allow us to so use the materials and are agreeing, among other things, to cover the costs of our defense if someone claims that we do not have the right to so use the materials (or that you do not have the right to allow us to so use the materials).....

...You are agreeing that we have the right to use your name and likeness on our websites solely in connection with the promotion and marketing of our business (e.g., we can refer to you as a member of deviantART.com) until you notify us that you wish to terminate this agreement and you have removed all of your materials from our website. In the event that we have sublicensed your materials to another website, it is your responsibility to have your materials removed from that website and you will not hold us responsible or liable if the other website refuses to remove your materials.

...and so on...blablabla...
to make one thing clear: if you upload art to deviantart, deviantart canuse your pictures, drawings etc for everything they want (websites, magazines, everything you can imagine)

so, if you´re not keen on seeing your work somewhere else and not getting a single dime...oh well, good for you, but i´m not dealing with that, especialy after being a subscribed member and paying money each year!
