I've had one piece removed, and since then I've been careful to only use images made available in the Resources & Stock section of dA, Creative Commons license or images I've been given permission to use.

I've noticed many newer artists and people creating one off pieces tend to get away with it though. Mature works without proper credit tend to attract more attention too. Give anyone an excuse to report your works if they don't want to see it, and they will. Some people do make you wonder though, if you don't like it, then don't click on it -_-
