Another Rip

April 7, 2003 8:24 PM from

I know I'm not supposed to put it here but it freakin ticks me off that my work keeps getting ripped. Lord Osiris which is UserID: 489339 ripped off my "Druid" (Droid huh Jafo

) image and made a second rate attempt at saying it's his. Here is the link to my image which he claimed he was rusty at Bryce with.....http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/1590970 As you all know I made this back in February and submitted it here first. I subsequently posted it at my DA account which you can see here......http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/1380384

Here is his supposed creation http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/1590970

ARRGGGGHHHH! I'm so frustrated.....barring myself from plastering my name all over my images I don't know what to do about this!!!

Correction....in my haste to get this posted I accidentally linked his image twice. The first link in my first thread is to my wincustomize image of my work https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=7675

its the down side of being good at what you do, copyright means nothing to some

Well, good news I suppose, but Lord Osiris removed the image and apologized for what happend and claimed his friend gave him the image to work on how ever he wished. I of course accepted the apology and will move on.

So frustrating because I don't charge or probably will charge anyone to use an image that I have posted and will post in the future (don't quote me on that

) so it's pretty much a 100% chance that if you ask me I will let you use and image, just give me the credit I deserve.

Green....welcome to the machine...

Price of fame is copyright theft, it seems.

Where possible, email or contact the site who is hosting the 'rip'...or contact me via email and I'll help chase it for you...

Thanks Jafo, I know I can count on WC for help in situations like this so it's reassuring to say the least
