Hmm🤔 something's messed up here... this is already the third of fourth time I've seen this cover art, and I'm pretty sure they don't have the permission to use it. And that's not the first time this happened either... So is it some kind of theft ? A random writer decides to use a random picture he found on the internet as the cover of his "free, not premium" novel, and writes "if the one who made this art isn't okay with me using it, he can message me and I'll put it down" thinking it makes it acceptable for him/her to use it without asking permission to the creator, much less crediting him, as he doesn't make money from it. Then our dearest platform has the picture in its database, and so by the laws of "terms of use" the writer (who doesn't have the rights to it) "agrees" to let Webn*vel use it. Then Webn*vel uses it as the cover art for one of their official novel, which is by definition premium, and makes money from something they don't even have the rights to. It's kinda like I found a car on the road, took it for myself, slapped a note on the car saying "if you want it back then just tell me I'll give it to you" (like he could find it and read it), then let my friend use it and he uses it to build a taxi company. Pretty sure that's theft. If someone knows more about this or wants to point out a wrong statement/argument, please do so. I tend to be pretty blind to other signs when I'm convinced of something...

It must be hard as a translator, part of the writing industry to see your company not care about intellectual property at all....
