The feedback makes you want to make MORE. So, yes, leaving happy thoughts and praise for any creative is just a feel-good positive feedback loop. And asking is just POLITE.
In a way, being in that place between NNF and BNF is fairly uncomfortable for me. If I'm a NNF, I get no love at all, but no one would take my stuff. If I'm a BNF, it's obvious when something is mine, and therefore it's not any harder to steal but more obvious that it IS stolen because it's recognizable to a lot of fans as being MINE. Somewhere in between is where your stuff gets noticed, pinched, and the person gets away with it. And most artist's are in that in between place.
But yes, it's always sad to see a talented artist chased off by piracy. That just sucks. :(
