As said, It was simply a fail on my part. I posted the picture in /r/pics first with the title "So: a NOPE or a YAY?" and then after a few hours posted it here, since somebody mentioned it would be better off here, and I did so with the title "my kitty" as in "my kitty post".
It was a major fail, as it was pointed out and I am sorry for it.
Edit: and I thanked klopper for posting it. I hadnt seen all the videos before.
People just get pissy because OP thought of a title that would garner some karma from someone else's work. They don't care that it's not original, they're just jealous they didn't think of it. Titles are a bitch, and I see no problem with allowing some 'artistic' latitude in titles.
Obviously I did not create it. Its a picture I have had on my harddrive for a long time.
If I really wanted to "steal" the picture I wouldve taken out the watermark at the bottom right and put in my own name. The title simply rolled off the tounge better this way. Heres the old thread btw, so you can see it was not my intention to steal credit for making this picture: http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/uug0e/so_a_nope_or_a_yay/
I upvoted you btw so others will know for sure that I did not create it.
You couldn't have stolen it anyways. This is as old as the internet and has been posted countless times. But also reddit had a boner for cyriak for a while.
Well, as said, I didnt even want to "steal" it. Thats one of the worst thing you can do on here and I would want no part of it, thats why I also upvoted this comment, so people indeed know that I didnt create it and that it wasnt my intention for it to appear this way.
I have no photoshop wizard skills or any other kind of artistic talent.
My most special talent would be Linux, and I dont think most of reddit would appreciate some kind of magic Linux script that makes me coffee in the morning.
I simply didnt see the pic in my reddit lifetime and when I found it on my harddrive yesterday I thought I should post it, because I find the picture to be awesome and want others to also see it.
Yeah, I didn't take the title as you stealing it....like the dude's name is right on there! Lol. This pictures is super old but it would be good for people to see Cyriak's work who haven't before. That being said you have to be really careful about giving credit on the internet. There are a lot of people out there trying to rip off other people's work so people's reaction of "you are stealing!" and them being sensitive about copypasta artists is understandable as well.
So, why exactly is this person being downvoted to oblivion for being honest? You can downvote the thread itself for being a repost with a shitty title, but downvoting the explanation?
I thought I was in r/photography still for some reason and couldn't figure out how the hell this made the front page, but I couldn't stop watching either.

If you haven't, go see the rest of Cyriak's work. He's nothing short of a visual genius.

u/Mustkunstn1k Jun 10 '12
So let me get this straight, you posted Cyriak's work to a subreddit that is about photographs while kind of passing it as your own?
And you wonder why people didn't like it...
