Yet another rip site

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

*Sigh* found this while looking... damned rippers.

Again at http://www.wallpapers.org/wallpapers/browsecat.php?category=162&start=1105

pathetic... hate peeps trying to bank off the stolen sweat of others....

http://mepischas.dyndns.org/GALLERIES/pclinuxos_wallpaper/slides/ThreeSpheres.html

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)

These people deserve a good rip....yep, for somebody to rip 'em a new as#h*le.

maybe we should PM the links to the mods.

Or ask Jafo. He's good on killing those type of sites.

well....just checked and the site is down. Hopefully for good.

Indeed. I hate rippers. >

you would think they would get the idea ripping is not guna pay off .. but yet they keep trying.... yesh....

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.

That's gotta be worth a thousand words.....putting a human face on the thievery....

Rolf...if you want those removed...let me know...I'll telephone them and explain 'Licence - Freeware' does NOT apply...

And while I'm at it I'll have that one removed...or the site owner's balls.

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.

JAFO

Message sent from here too    these people... just don't understand sometimes

Total 1149 downloads of my wallpapers without my permission         

e-mail sent requesting their immediate removal.

Want me to send a couple litre cans of Bear Mace? Good at 10 ft. on grizzlies...

Please, Jafo.

Can you use baseball and nutcrackers?

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

Thanks for posting this thread and replies, they got me for a few wallpapers as well. I emailed them, so lets see where this goes!

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....

Did they charge for any of these rips?

SGT  

I know the freshpaper.com site is definately down now....they got 59 members from DA for over 8,000 images that were posted as walls......

Rolf....response has it that your works are gone...
