Another Rip

August 2, 2003 9:16:52 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

A few people have pointed out to me that my image "Love's Dying Embers" has been ripped over at ThemeXP.org. I e-mailed the webmaster 2 days ago but so far the image remains. The ripper calls himself "Breal", and from what I can see, he takes other peoples images, puts a logo on them and then claims them as his own.

you can visit the rip here: http://www.themexp.org/view_info.php?id=30215 and if you want to you could even leave a comment on this fine piece of ripping.

I feel for you Boxxi.......I have found several of my images at ThemeXP which I didn't post yet those authors claim to have made it. I have sent several emails to get it removed but I get nothing.

Not only is it an obvious rip, but what he did to it is awful! FWIW, I left a comment ...

Why don't we all register at themexp so that we can add comments to the rips to see how many it takes for them to act. I have but unfortunately you have to wait 6 days before you are permitted to leave comments......

I am looking forward to 8th August so I can comply.



Does anyone know of any more rips at themexp?

It is possible to email the admins there. They usually react favorably to RIP reports.

That's odd. They responded very responsibly the last time I got involved. Give it time, its the weekend after all.

It's the weekend, maybe they will take a little time to get to it. They're usually very good about removing rips when notified. Posting a comment probably won't get any action but emailing the admins most likely will.

I left a comment too... can't stand rippers...

Greg at themeXP.org is quite conscientious when it comes to responding to posted rips.

It's a two-way street....we sort them here and he sorts them there.

Give him time to resolve this.....[I've contacted him myself]...

I have sent an e-mail to the guy. The e-mail says:


hi,
I have found that on a web site called www.wincustomize.com a person called BoXXi has made that wall paper you put up called Amd Duron Hell.
He says you have copied it and then slapped on a logo.
If you want more info about this person or if you want to talk to him privatly go to https://www.wincustomize.com/window.asp?Cmd=AUTHORINFO&accountid=194

Thanks,
Bliss980

And the Subject line was:
About the wall paper you put on ThemeXP


I hope I could help you guys more than that. I have an account there but I can't be botherd to put a comment in.
I hope they take it off or put credit in your name. I think if he doesn't remove it I might flood his inbox now that I have got his e-mail.

See ya,
Bliss980

P.S. did you see there was only one vote and iut was rated 0?

Corona is different, I think. The design is taken from Windows Media Player 9 and different from Alexandries, if You had that in mind.

Note that it is NOT the site which is 'ripping works' but a few of its members.

Wincustomize.com has the same problem with some of its members as well, often through ignorance, nothing more...

I believe they have removed the wall that BoXXi indicated was a rip.
