Macros and Gifs

onthethruway01I'm a bit flustered ( not mad, just annoyed) to find that Deviant Art has removed about 6 of the macros I made, all of them from LAST year. These pictures were found either on the Internet through a search, or from an Omona/LJ posting. They are K-Pop related. I just wrote some "funnies" on them and posted them on DA.
Now, if I had been told a day or so after I posted them them that I needed permission, I would have removed them myself. I don't want to step on anyones toes. As a sort of artist myself, I respect peoples wishes. I just would have preferred to know right away.
Maybe DA has a backlog? Maybe the "owner" of the pics just found them? But now I'm concerned that every day I log onto DA I'm going to find something else gone.
So, in order to protect myself and not piss anyone off, I will no longer be posting gifs/macros except for my friends here on LJ.
Hopefully DA will not suspend me or something, after all, I've done lots of macros. I suspect I will be finding more deletions soon.
I have most of them saved on photobucket, tiny pic and on my hard drive too, so I'm not that heartbroken.
I'm posting this open to everyone for a few reasons.
One, as a warning to folks who like to make macros and gifs, be sure you can use the pictures, and two, if I take one of your photos and use it, let me know if it's ok or not. I will respect your wishes and either give you credit or remove the item.
Thanks people. Have a good one.
