Commercial Debt Collection & the Troubles of Art Theft

By Rob Sutter


While art is only of the things I do not do as often as I'd like, I will say that I consider it a hobby. The reason that I enjoy it stems from the fact that I can be creative, allowing myself to roam free in terms of what I can make. Allowing me this freedom has had a bevy of positives but there have been a couple of negatives in the form of art theft. This is not something that I consider to be a blip on the radar and I hope that commercial debt collection agencies feel the same.

Graphic design is the field that I spend the most time in during my life. This isn't to say that drawing or painting weren't ones that I tried in the past but they weren't ones that stuck. I simply wasn't too good at them whereas digital creation seemed to be simple for me while others I knew had trouble with it. Most of all, I saw it as a hobby which meant that I could create whatever came to mind and no one could criticize me over little hiccups in the work.

With every creative piece of artwork that someone has, though, you can be certain that there is someone out there ready to take it for themselves. This is something that I have a big problem with. I detest art theft with a passion because you have these people who work very hard in order to create these unique pieces which are reflective of their attitudes. All of a sudden, someone swoops down like a hawk in order to reap the rewards without putting the same work in.

If profits are being made on the art stolen, that should be the first sign of commercial debt collection services being put to use. People may not know how to go about exacting justice, especially since it's a personal theft. When it happened to me, I can tell you that I was acting based on emotions and I wouldn't be able to perform well in the business sense if I tried. This made me all the more driven to go to reputable agencies like R.R.S. in order to use its services.

If you're an artist and your work was lifted, I am sure you're going to take notice. If you're built up a strong following, it's possible that your fans are going to be on your side as well. People who love animation and illustration typically understand when a certain work is being ripped off and they will be able to tell a legitimately unique piece from a knockoff. An instance like this could call for the services of a strong legal agency to see that business is taken care of.
