It seems that this will never end

Yes, I was ripped AGAIN!>
This time was my old personal site Integration Worx http://www.integration-worx.com that this ripper took all the graphics for "his" site http://www.bienkowski-online.de/start.html
It's umbelivable, the guy ripped even the link buttons!
I'm getting relly sick of this.

Just chalk it up to imitation being the sincerest form of flattery. There's very little you can do to prevent it, unfortunately.

If he doesn't respond to Treetog's email politely requesting he cease, probably the next step would be to let us know and everyone can send him a polite email requesting him to cease.

Nothing like 5,000 polite emails.

That is amazing. It's one of the penalties of success, Renato.
Just say the word and the e-mails Frogboy was on about will be despatched.
Chin Up!

Thank you all for the kind support, this made me smile again.

btw, today I spent some time on counting all the rips I caught on my work during the last 2 years.

27 corroborated rips so far, between, skins, themes and sites. This is too much.

this is the same guy that ripped someone's work from DA, which was given a DD back in Jan 2001, and then backdated the rip to 1999 and attempted to claim it as his own. what the moron failed to realize is that the wall, which has a pic of Jessica Alba in it, used a picture that was not taken until late 2000!

Jark....I clicked on the link at DA yesterday and ended up at Renato's site.....so thought it was just an error on the part of the poster....not realizing it was really Renato's site...but obviously it was just the wrong link posted.
Ignore me, I'm rambling....

I shall send an email suggesting a payment of US$5000 is in order for graphics and site design work....sounds reasonable...

My email message as sent......clear, precise, and polite.....

Your site design and graphics were created by Treetog [Renato C Veras].
To use them on your site, you are required by law to seek permission from the Copyright owner and negotiate appropriate payment for their use.
Failing that, this site is physical evidence of copyright theft, exposing you to legal action for its removal, and/or monetary compensation.
I suggest you remove this site immediately, and contact the Copyright holder for his consent/opinion of its subsequent use.
Failing that, your host ISP will be contacted and informed of this unlawful behavior by one of its customers.

I am sorry that this is not in your native language, but I trust you will be able to obtain a translation via on-line services.

Yours sincerely,
Paul Martin [Jafo][Admin Wincustomize.com, and Pixtudio.com]

It appears that this idiot hasn't updated this site for a while, there are no new news posts, so he probably hasn't even seen our messages! If I were you Renato, I would just contact his ISP and get THEM to remove it.
