PixOs rip at...

June 9, 2004 3:49:35 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Hi! I went to Themexp.org & saw this. http://themexp.org/preview.php?mid=55894&type=vs&view=date&page=1&cat=&name=PixOS+modified+by+streawkceur.zip Is this a rip or not? The VS skin looks like PixOs skin suite. Please look at the linky link. Thanx.

This is a heavily modified PixOS theme I found on the Internet. There's not much left from the original one.
I tried to imitate the marvellous look of the Media Center 10 PixOS skin.
It is part of my kiiroi/PixOS desktop, which consists of a LiteStep theme, my
modified PixOS WinXP theme, a modified Wallpaper (kiiroi) by Jens Karlsson, an
XP boot screen and an XP logon screen

Damn site popups at themexp. Evil, plain evil.

Thats what he left for a comment. I dunno if it is considered a rip or not. I m gonna sit back and see what others think.

Actually there is no mention of the original author (Pixtudio) as there is also no mention of permission granted for the use of graphics or modification of graphics from the original.

hmmmmm.... I need to go through my papers and find the link and the contact for the copyright and trademark service I've joined and send it to you treetog...

basic one year fee ( $20.00 US ? ) and you send them the info and graphics and they do all the foot work on registering your stuff in the US. Which is a stickler on such things and pushy as hell, so it might add some weight to the hammer when push comes to shove.

I visited that site and I got a gator cookie request. I am very suspicious of anything from gator. Cookies can be harmless or they can be tracking cookies as well. I've heard that cookies can also grab personal information. Gator is notorious for spyware which will cripple ones computer. I therefore accept nothing from Gator.

Just wondering, why people, when they find a rip, come straight to the message board with a link instead of just emailing the original author or an admin.?

Maybe, you'll find the artist or admin more on message boards.

I have been around long enough to figure out that with treetog and pixtudio, there will always be another skin suite coming, its just a matter of how long.

It's more of a 'be aware' message. This gives the chance to all the artist that frequent the board to visit the site displaying the rip and make sure that their work is not there.
Not long ago someone posted a ripped work from an artist here and when we visited the site there were dozen of other artist's work ripped.

OK. That's cleared up. Thanks, for the info. I understand the reasoning better now.

To me, it always seemed to be, for other people, "Here is a rip, download it before they take it off". I just thought, the less people know about it, the less people will download it. Hence, letting the original author or an admin. know.

The $14.95 service does the following:

c-Site puts the protective power of the federal government square in your corner!

Just as a trademark protects a logo and a patent protects an invention, a federal copyright protects your Web site, literary works and more!

When you value your Web site, source code or music and the hard work and original ideas that went into it, you need indisputable legal proof that YOU own your work! And that proof is a Registration Certificate issued by the U.S. Copyright Office.

Until now, getting this essential federal protection was complicated and often required the hassle and expense of an attorney. Those days are gone!

c-Site eliminates the confusion and complexity from the copyright process. Its step-by-step wizard and expert assistance guides you through completing the copyright application in just minutes. (Show me)
Once completed, simply upload your work. Our team of experts will review it for accuracy and compliance with federal copyright laws.

Then file it with the U.S. Copyright Office. Upon approval, the Registration Certificate is mailed directly to you. It's that simple!

-

You pay the mandatory $30 Filing fee which goes to the U.S. Copyright Office.

The service takes out all the leg work and questions on covering all the angles, and exactly which you need to file under ( Copyright, Trademark, and so on )
