I'll confess one thing. The only reason why I was thinking of commissions and stuff is so that I don't have to pirate anything. I feel kind of horrible if I do download something (that needs to be payed for) for free.
Thanks for mentioning that the person who took your comment too seriously has a fantastic avatar of Twilight. He made the vector of Twilight from a sketch he drew months ago.
i'd say don't feel bad about it. piracy doesn't equal that you're stealing anything, just that you're sharing files with other people around the world. one good comment on youtube summed it up: "stealing: victim loses the object from the perpetrator. piracy: everyone shares with each other."
