Yet another rip site

July 5, 2007 1:44:39 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I got a notice from a friend on DA that there is yet another rip site for wallpapers. I went to see and found alot of things ripped from DA and also from here. I found works by boss and others. There is absolutely nothing on the site that refers to who made them, etc. This is a french site. More info can be found in this DA journal http://dwalker1047.deviantart.com/journal/13617004/#journal, and at the site....http://www.fresh-paper.com/home-en.html

Nothing of mine so far, but I noticed a lot of devertart logo wallpapers as well as some ubuntu/linux.

Will it never end???

Yeah it sucks.

Know whats weird? This site claims that those wallpapers is made for linux, and threespheres is made in Windows XP with Bryce, which aren't free software.

PumaKitten57 and XX are there two different sites that you are talking about?

Have you identified the sites that you found to admin here so they can start what ever action is needed?

Yea I know if the post is here they will read it, but why not give them a head start.

I'm not a skinner but it doesn't make any difference if people are being ripped. We all need to do our part to try and put a stop to it.

Those two sites I posted is different sites, yes. I couldn't get them to remove them last time. The site PumaKitten57 posted didn't steal any of mine (so far I know, I checked most types of wallpapers)

That's not too far from me these days and I'm a lot closer than Jafo....maybe I could go pay a visit n' scare the crap out of 'em...mightn't have the strength to swing a baseball bat anymore, but I still got a very intimidating bark.

His choice...

Email sent....

 

"Thunderchiefs" is a painting [watercolour] painted by me.

It was subsequently reworked [by me] in PSP6 and subsequently uploaded [by me] to several sites, including Deviantart.com and Wincustomize.com.

 

At NO time did I upload this image to your site...ergo you or someone else did so without my permission.  This is copyright theft, nothing less.

Reference to 'Licence -Freeware' is wrong, deceptive and legally actionable as I am the ONLY person qualified to determine its Licence condition/s.

 

By the way...don't bother to argue authorship/rights or proof.... you will lose.  I still have the original dating back to 1970.

 

64 unlawful downloads of my property without my consent is 64 singular and separate breaches of the International Copyright Law as determined under the Berne Treaty [look it up].

 

Kindly remove this image immediately.

 

Paul Martin

Please, Jafo.

Can you use baseball and nutcrackers?

Thanks, I suck on talking with people on copyright issues.

Rolf...will do.

Have already had a response regarding mine....and reiterated that our site [Wincustomize] has NO content of any sort that can be reused as topdownloads is doing....
