Pix Os icons RIPPED

hey, just email an admin like jafo, karmagirl or tman, they will solve it

Lastshot,

Thank you for the rip report, I just sent the sites adminstrators an email requesting the deletation of the file.

thanks treetog, i realized that that was a different site, not WC. sorry. *foolish grin*

people from the site was kind and efficient enough to remove the file quickly, those guys are serious!

Ripped Foundation Icons as well... unless imrockit is Chad Ross

sad part is that these peeps dont think that they would get caught. or that any thing can be done about it...

aww i didnt see the rip, they should put a little image of a bandit behind bars

these sites could be cutting down on ripped work very easily by taking a dramatic stand. some of you might think it too harsh - but a site has to right to fine someone for uploading work they find to be ripped. all you need is a very well definined, and clearly presented, text that says 'if your work is found to have been taken from another and posted here, without permission, you will be fined xxx'. i bet most people would think twice about it. right now if someone rips someone elses work, the admins simply remove it. that person may never even think to come back and find out its gone, or will simply move on to post it somewhere else. point is its not gonna stop without some action.

yea yea you run into the troubles of actually penalizing people. you have to find their identify, locate them, demand the invoice, then follow through, and that itself costs money. but artwork is artwork.. this stuff matters. just my 2 cents.

I'm on that site. In the last week I have seen rips of foood, PixOS, and Indemnity/Chad. Now I kinda wonder about some other stuff too. Some of the members...er...well...don't get it. I'm a teeny bit fristrated.

Thanks for the link. I had my lawyer send them a e-mail. Bastards.

So if you want to get permission from someone who's on this site how do you get their e-mail address? IT IS NOT LISTED ANYWHERE I HAVE LOOKED

is that LEGAL where you are? oo oo i'm movin down under..

latin4567: If you can't get in touch with an author then you can't get permission to use his/her work for anything other than personal use. Which means you do not have permission to legally modify and distribute the author's work. It really is that simple. Authors are not under any obligation to make themselves available to others or to grant permission to others to use/modify their work for purposes of distribution.

Perhaps the author might also post work at another site and may have their email address available there. But if you cannot get in touch with them or if you do email an author and they fail to respond, you have no legal right to use their work for anything other than personal use (i.e. that means no public distribution).

Authors should have the option of putting their e-mail on their profile

Authors should have the option of putting their e-mail on their profile

They Do

latin4567....just post a polite request here with the author's nick in the topic name....he/she will likely see it and respond if they so wish...

Cool idea
By the way how do you that thing where you show your "current desktop" on your profile?

By the way "Design Candy"
When I said ITS NOT ANYWHERE ON THIS SITE I HAVE LOOKED I was refering to profiles not hacking a server
