Worlize is an online avatar-based chatsite. Because of the lack of filtering of their avatars, users are able to upload an avatar from the internet, anywhere, anything, without providing explicit permission that they may use said artwork. Because of this poorly designed system, countless artists' works have been stolen time and time again. This is disprespectful to the artist community and humanity in general. Not only do users regularly steal and use copyrighted work, but the administration does as well and does nothing to stop it. 

Why have copyrights? Why make art for money? Why keep the internet, gaming, theatre, marketing, clothing, music, dance, graphic industry afloat with talent when people on a slap-dash website can just steal your work and even call it their own? 

We have a voice, all of us. YOU have a voice. Let it be known and let everyone know that your voice matters. Support your fellow artists, your friends, your colleagues, your family.
