I think that if the artist goes and asks the person to remove it they have that right.

But to go searching for something is a few years old, like three years, it seems rather... odd. I understand being upset about finding your art, but it's not like many of us here are trying to take credit for the art as ours. 

I agree with [@NuttsnBolts], if it was my art being used, I might be a little proud. (I don't draw, just to be clear.)

The only policy I can imagine for that is for people to provide credit and sources for all of their pictures. But what's the point? The issue barely ever comes up, and if someone really wants to find those images they can use a reverse image search. It's not RP posts from years ago stealing money from online artists. They should spend the time they use hunting down "unauthorized" usages of their images and get a job if money is what they're concerned about.

I think that there is a point to that.
