Always making sure that her talents are infinitely scalable, Sharon has put her bezier curves to excellent use, and firmly anchored herself as an inspirational leader. We're absolutely delighted to bestow the Deviousness Award for June 2013 to `ChewedKandi. Congratulations, Sharon! Read More

As such, for non-commercial use, it becomes more a declaration of how you interact with the community rather than an effective instruction. That rubs me the wrong way for many reasons and my response to that is to "take my business elsewhere" since "usage constitutes endorsement". (Which is why, aside from games and my video drivers, my system runs only freely-redistributable, open-source software. Linux and such)
In essence, by refusing to allow redistribution, you're staring a lot of people in the face and saying "I spit on the aspects of 21st-century culture that you hold sacred". If it really matters so much to you, stick the URL to your deviantArt profile in the corner of each image. We respect the desire to use a license like CC BY-NC-ND (Attribution, Non-Commercial, No Derivatives) whether or not we agree with the decision, but the decision to refuse redistribution rights appears to us as ineffectual and pointlessly stubborn as an grumpy old man trying to stand in the way of a tsunami and as anti-social as "Get off my lawn, you damn kids!"
