I'm happy you made this, even though it is clear that this is an issue of pain (i feel it too). I'm not the most active or vocal, but I feel a part of the small decker community here on itch, and it is always a pleasure to play/read your work
Oh oof 😰I read Internet Janitor's blog post about how Wiggly Paint itself got stolen by scammers, but didn't realize that of course the art people made with it would also get stolen... this sucks (the topic I mean, your zine is excellent and the results of your investigation illuminating)
In the beginning I really wondered if I would find someone who gave permission... It wasn't impossible that one of the people running a site with a smaller gallery could have contacted people with an official looking email address or something. But. Well.
(Thank you for printing it out! I'm honored that it found a place in your zine collection.)
Oh I just cut off the margins once it was printed out! I wish I had done that to all of the other zines I printed out haha, tho perhaps it is not too late to still do that...

I definitely count you among the community here. :') And likewise. Thank you.
That all sucks. But this is really well put together.
Yeah, it really does. And thank you so much for checking it out!
I'd say scammers are vultures but it would make dishonour to vultures.
Thank you for your zine and work showing this.
I get exactly what you mean. :') Thank you very much for reading.
