Unfortunately, it's pretty much as Razon said. Times like these I'm almost glad that I don't have a scanner or any means of putting up my stuff online.
It's pretty silly and perhaps a bit discouraging that there is an actual group on dA that supports art theft, but what can anyone do about it, really? All you can really do about it is to, simply, stop feeding the trolls. But not everyone on the Internet has the good sense to do that now, do they? Taking a good look at certain YouTube video comments, and even the comments in that group you're talking about, pretty much proves that.
