Ugh, sorry to hear of your frustrations, been there myself :/ I think until the profession becomes more respected, people just aren't going to take copyright laws seriously. Many just don't realise the amount of time and skill that goes into work like that. I just had a friend take advantage of my willingness to work on a commission for them before I accepted payment, and now that I've finished the art they've gone back on their word.

Yeah ultimately it does befall the communities to police these kinds of things, seeing as Wikia won't do anything without a DCMA. Our community is particularly strict with them as we're founded on an art-based adoptables game with a tight-knit community in general; most of us make art of one form or another.
