So beyond upset
ARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I have finally become a victim to pirates. I am soooo upset, I am physically ill. It appears that within the last couple of weeks, someone decided to purchase my one and only Twilight themed kit, and has now decided to share it with the world. TWELVE lovely people have downloaded it. It might not seem like much to people, but that's nearly $40 to my family. FORTY FREAKING DOLLARS!!! Anyone care to imagine just what that would pay for in regards to providing support for my family?
Well... since Hubby is still off work, the only financial income coming into our household is:
1. My SS disability
2. My income from graphic designing
Anyone care to guess which one is higher right now? It's not my graphic designing.
Lemme regress and share with you what $40 would pay for at this very moment:
- Pay for 2-3 weeks worth of food to make lunches with to send with William to school, since he starts school for the very first time Monday (8/24).
- 3/4 of a counseling session for Hubby for one week
- 2 uniform shirts and 2 pairs of uniform shorts for William
- Nearly all of William's school supplies listed for the required items for starting Kindergarten
- Enrollment fee to get William signed up for CHIPS for health care insurance
- Enrollment fee to get William signed up for Pee-Wee sports or Karate
I could go on and on.. but I'm not going to. I don't expect, nor do I even want anyone to respond to this. I just want people to know that there are people who are actually depending on what money they make with graphic designing, and when someone goes along and does this to a designer, they STEAL money from the mouthes of their children, food they depend on to survive, clothes to keep them warm or to send them to school in, even getting them the basic health care that many don't even have. Just think about that for even 30 seconds before you click on that 4shared or RS link.
Thanks a lot. You've really made my day.
