Why copyminting is terrible and how to stop it?

With the fact that many of them were convinced of everything. But why is it so bad? Let's look at the example of "Tinkuy".
- Money
- Time
- Moderators
- Honesty
Often copyminters make a lot of money. Sometimes they manage to keep their dark side a secret for a long time and continue to take cryptocurrencies from an unsuspecting community.
Time and moderation. Moderators are constantly looking for thieves. Every day, fx (hash) moderators, along with helpers from the community, delete them.
Is copying norm? Many people like Almina (we will come back to her later) worked on artwork for their own ideas and interests, but definitely not for someone to earn money from their work.

How can I find?
Now it's time to learn about how to find the villain.
Do you know something about the OpenProcessing platform? Most copyminters look for profit there. There you can find a variety of sketches and at the same time open source.
Now we'll talk about "Tinkuy". How do you know if he stole an artwork that you thought looked like it or not? Open any Tinkuy art and hit F12. Then select "Sources". And find the folder shown in the picture.
At this stage, you will open the artwork code and you will be able to compare it with the similar one on OpenProcessing.
Almina made artwork named 20.09.20 (2) wip, and Tinkuy copyminted it like Droplets in the Ocean.
What should I do after I found it?
You must connect to the fx (hash) discord, find the "spam-report" channel there and report found information there.
