In the case of stock art I've used in the various pictures I've done in Paint.net, I have made it a point to use only stock art from artists who openly state that anyone has permission to use such stock art. If I have ever used art without permission, it was certainly not my intent to do so.

As an author who has had their work stolen and used without permission, I would never intentionally do that to others, which is why I took offense at being accused of "Stealing" someone's art.

Anything art I've done in paint will include both a disclaimer, stating that someone's stock art was used and a link to the artist. As far as I knew, this was perfectly acceptable, which again... Leads to my annoyance at being accused to "stealing" artwork.
