Haha, I don't think claiming art (or writing or anything for that matter) as one's own if one doesn't own it will ever be legal in any place on the world xD (except for maybe Antarctica, and there it would only be technical because I'm pretty sure the main inhabitants are the penguins, not humans lmao) Even for works in the public domain, if you claim them as your own, you might not get sued (because the authors of many frequently-used public domain works are... well, dead, so they're not around to sue you LOL and they'd have been dead for maybe a century or something haha) but people will really look down on you xD

But even saying "this doesn't belong to me" or "here is the link to the original" isn't good enough, and I agree with you in that it should never be legal xD I wouldn't want my OCs to be used as something else (they're my OCs damn it), and when I draw others' OCs... well, I'm pretty sure they don't want their OCs to be used as something else, either LOL and I certainly don't want the very artwork that I created specifically for a certain person to be used elsewhere as something else :c
