I wonder if Stardock gave permissions perhaps? I'd be curious if that is the case (since Stardock has rights to distribute as they see fit all submitted skins) but with
that said I find it highly
doubtful since you'd think some credits would at least go to Stardock on that site showing credits/permissions of some kind.
Since the above case more than likely
isn't the case...it's a hard point to fight/argue as far as copyright and warez issues when dealing with countries who don't even recognize US as well as other countries' laws regarding said issues. Sadly, there is always a way to steal. I hope WC just finally forces people to join or not get ANYTHING because it's just too easy to strip stuff from this site if one wants to be lower than low. Grrr >
I know firsthand how violating it feels to have copyrighted stuff of mine show up in some oddball place without any permission from me. It saddens/disheartens me but I've grown wiser at least about how things work so differently on the net compared to my own little beloved country. Until the 'global community' agrees to standardize rights to enforce copyright and uphold it by prosecuting those who choose to violate it...it's an unfortunate "free for all" rife with "unpunished criminal activity."
Our laws/morality etc. haven't caught up with the technology YET but I hope something can be done without costing us the freedom but it's a slippery slope...
