Sharing

 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU "SHARE" A SCRAP KIT OR TUBE?

1.    The artist stops selling because it isn't worth their while to do all that hard work for nothing.
2    The store that sells the work of designers and artists go out of business because they can't even pay for the costs of keeping the store running due to lost revenues.
3.    The designer can't find any good commercial use products to put in their kits because the stores are gone.
4.    When a designer can find enough good products to include in their kits, they have to pay for them, thus they have to charge for their kits in order to keep going.
5.    When "sharing" happens, an artist, designer and the store loses the money from multiple sales - which is the only way they can stay in business.

So really "sharing" is stealing.  From me and other designers, artists and stores trying to make a living providing products.  

Remember when you steal a pay to use product, you are having a real impact on others around you.  If being branded a theif isn't enough to stop you, ask your friends, your faith provider, your family, your children.  

And remember what goes around, comes around. And if that doesn't keep you awake at night, it should.
