Even if I'm at the bookshop, I won't even know it contained pirated art. This is very bad. Even if I’m at the bookshop, I won’t even know it contained pirated art.

And the fans of cartoonists don't realize that their pilfering is putting the cartoonists that they admire at a disadvantage. What an irony. Still, many fans don't even know some of this stuff is illegal; they figure it's put out by the legitimate publisher. One fan wrote to me to compliment me on my work, which was obviously fake, and was shocked when i alerted him to the fact. He promptly went out and bought some real copies of my work... You'll always have some scoundrels who don't care. But it's up to us to try and educate the public -- it shouldn't fall on our shoulders to do it, but who else is going to? Best to all.
