Wix said that it will continue to operate DeviantArt as a standalone site, but it will also use it to boost its own business in a couple of ways.

Wix will open up DeviantArt’s repository of art and creative community to the Wix platform, giving Wix’s users access to that work to use in their own site building.

Next time you upload your artwork to some website, check the small printed TOS; then you might think twice about granting full rights to your work to someone else who can just sell it to another third party which allows users to make Flash-based websites. Flash, seriously?
