I came here because i understand the power and fury of a motivated Jafo 
A lot of wallpaper artists in the scene are having their work stolen and deface by some fella. I elaborate on this here: http://www.geeessemm.com/viewtopic.php?pid=9109#p9109
Basically he's defacing and distributing A LOT of people's work, probably a good number of artists from here, without people's permission.
In order to download the work, you need to look at page full of adsense ads. So he's making money off of this, maybe a good bit.
I really don't mind that he's distributing my work really, although credit would be nice. I make things to give away because I think it's fun and it makes me feel good. It's the fact he's defaced my work with his url, turning it into a promotional tool for his baltantly for profit site and given no credit where it's due that bugs me. I think it's wrong. I think it's stealing. By putting his url over my work it makes it seem like he owns it.
Thanks a lot, go check it out and see if you're being ripped.

I can't see anything. Am I wrong, or do I have to sign up to view it...which means the guy makes more money off of me?

direct url, rather than going through the GSM forums, might have confused you.

You know what I think...I think this is all a conspiracy. I mean...over 1,000 walls ripped and not ONE of them is mine. I think someone makes these little sites just to irk me and drive me further into the psychosis that is my life. Further more, I think people like you, who spy on me through my microphone or toaster in your demented version of spare time, enjoy posting these links to these sites just to watch me pull out more hair as I try to peel the gummi bears that are gnawing at my brain away from the gray matter that I have left to work with. Bichur must sit in his stump, chewing on stale monkey-lizard omlets, just waiting for these posts to pop up so he can do his Troll dance of glee as he watches me go further and further into the darkness of the Whirley-Na-Na zone, while I scream the lyrics to 'Welcome, Back Kotter', sure in my heart that no one is welcomed back, because there is no going back only deeper and deeper...and...and......
Huh? How did all these bats get in here?

I bet not ONE of mine is there either. NO. My crap ain't good enough to rip. You can invade my brain with your fluorescent bulbs, beating down on me with Lord only knows what kind of lethal energy...sucking idea's right through my skull. That's right. Who do you think thought of 'Urine Gone' first? Yeah, they got that one the same day they stole my idea for reversible underoo's. I know what's going on here! The walls might be padded, but I can still hear the whispers of conspirators plotting things that will turn the entire space-time continuum on it's ear and have us all drooling in the shadows. Did you really think the whole Britney shaving her head thing was gonna get by ME?!
Whoa to you, who heeds not the words of Mr. Peabody!

Funny! But I have proof!
Sometimes I like to go to my personal site to see if skinhit has left any 'coded' messages for the mothership...and sometimes just to see if dreams do come true and I have made Journeyman....
Look what I find today!
Top 1 yearling???
Top 1 Objectdock Downloads!!!!????
I know. Oh, I know. This is all to taunt me. It's like a dull, rusty, serrated knife slowly sawing at the thin thread of my sanity. You would love to see me go over the edge! Well, I will not go quietly into that dark padded room! Not I. Cause I have coated my entire body in wd-40! HA! Just try and catch me!
Let the pigeons loose!

It's the Greeplaks, Po'
....I heard their conspiring whispers last night. They say you're a pushover for their evil plan, and that it's going to schedule.
...Take the blue pill.
