In trade tables I see people offering ifiling services for tros all the time, which I find incredibly infuriating because they are making money off of the hard work of others. (I have mentioned this more than once on other threads). GFX is not easy to learn, we went through the whole trouble to be decent enough to sell heads to other people only to have them stolen and sold again (and sometimes for even bigger amounts). This is the only thing that bothers me about people who ifile for the wrong reasons, but I am not opposed to ifiling.
It may be hard to take the bad reputation from ifiling, mostly because you're taking things that are not supposed to be taken (in most cases). Like my mom says "Don't do good things that look like bad things" because they will be followed with misunderstandings.
