During the pandemic, the number of images stolen and appearing on for-profit sites seemed to increase dramatically. Of course, you have the right to print and color the images from AWhiteHorse.com™ for your personal use. Because I love you all very much. But most of the sites posting stolen images from our site, AWhiteHorse.com™, are overseas corporations. They stand to make a lot of money by stealing my artwork.
