I don't know what to do, but this is why I hate theme xp...can't comment or anything, walls are usually low quality, (hey they actually got a good one since they ripped yours lol,err sorry thats not funny) I guess you'll be needing to try and find a way to contact some sort of admin at that site, this is why I always sign my work, but idiots over there could just as easy put a black box on top of my name and act like it's supposed to be there, sigh.....

No Rules, its better if you can get an admin for it (at the time they are probably drinking coffee or such thing, and they have time enought ) this happends quite a lot and mostly they DO listen to them

I saw another rip, not from one of our authors, but from the image samples that come with 3dstudio max, of course I also saw a wall on this site that someone took from the same set of images.

In fact here you go, https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?authorid=184602 check out the comment i left him and you'll see all that you need to. I posted where the image came from, and also the real authors homepage which also has the image.

Guys....the way to deal with issues such as this is to contact their site admin/s with links to the rip and the original and politely ask for them to look into/resolve the issue. Greg at ThemeXP is very good at responding and dealing with these rips....every site gets them inadvertently and it's not necessarily a fault with a particular site, just that things sometimes slip through before they are spotted...

I just looked at this, and on further examiniation, I see that this person goes by LANDER as a nick.
I found 3 rips from artists here:

No Rules - Tornado
Gypsy Darla - Mother
FTO - Circle 3 Orange

I took it upon myself to send greg@themexp.org the following message:
----------
Greg,
I can't help but notice the amout of stolen / rip'd items that are in the wallpaper section of themexp.org.


Here is a list of them
-------------------------------------------
Your Sites URL: http://www.themexp.org/view_info.php?id=31501
Original Artists: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=11092

Origianl Artist : Gypsy Darla
Rip off Artist: Lander
-----------------------------------------
Your Sites URL: http://www.themexp.org/view_info.php?id=31450
Original Artists:: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=10761

Original Artist: No Rules
Rip off Artist: Lander
-----------------------------------------
Your Site URL: http://www.themexp.org/view_info.php?id=31186
Original Artists: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=10966

Original Artist: --FTO--
Rip off Artist: Lander
--------------------------------------------

This is very frustrating to the original artist, and I for one would very much like to see these rips pulled from your site and have the offending "Landers" banished into the lands of forbidden slime mongers.

Thank you,
Duane Miller
