In this particular case I wouldn't have objected since I've already given permission in the past for them to use my work and I find them very considerate and responsive. However, I went and checked to see when they actually posted my skin and found that it went onto their site After I had responded to their email wiith permission to do so. So it's certainly not an issue in this case. I agree with Pat that most people don't think of it as an issue since the work is available for free downl

That's Nikolay from Media Jukebox fame. They just came out with a new version (7.0) that uses winamp skins instead of WindowBlinds skins. He's only looking for winamp skins to post on his site for his customers. They seem to be real nice folks there and they get a lot of downloads (my "Doreen's TV" had over 41,000) so I'd recomend letting them have any winamp skins you've got.

Reply to Microsoft's ultimatum: Upgrade to XP by October--or else in WinCustomize News JoeUser Forums

So Microsoft uses heavy-handed marketing practices to "force" their customers to buy a product..... sounds familiar. What about the claim that the reason for their new registration scheme is to prevent unauthorized copying which was driving the cost up and thus, could benefit consumers with lower software prices? The article says Microsoft is raising their prices over 100% - another lie gets folded into the myth filled fabric of the consumer conciousness.......
