But that doesn't look like Annihilator. Lets be sure we're armed before going after this guy...don't want to make ourselves look bad.

Yup, Annihilator is definitely Kitty's.... he has a WIP screenie up (A WIP? As if) and the finished thing beside it, then a recoloured one beside that. 

Seems to me he has stuff up by The Skins Factory as well.... DarkStar at the above link looks suspiciously like one of theirs.

In fact ALL the stuff on that page looks like it is ripped.

One of Grimms buddys http://nofx1994.deviantart.com/ posted a theme and has this in his comments:

On some of these walls I do not know the artist but the ones I
do know goes as follows and I want to thank you all for these great pieces of art:

_I__by_MouseRunner
Big_storm_by_hmn
Magic_toy_II_WD_by_hmn
Pearl_factory_by_hmn
Blue_Expanse_by_Epheus
Blue_Tint_Curve_by_Ton_K300
Blue_Wave___Dark_by_minimanjapan
bluefire_sphere_by_tylerxy-d2xfder
windows_flag_by_shippd
Windows_Shine_Blue_by_caeszer
and the rest I do not know the artist but, if you do know the artist please let me know so I can
give them credit for their art.

I see a couple names I recognize in that list....bet they didnt give permission either.

Then at the bottom of his post he claims copyright!

This guy took the bottom of my start menu from MRX Reloaded: http://razorsedge16.deviantart.com/art/Armageddon-Clash-of-the-Titans-180317380?q=in%3Acustomization%2Fskins%2Fwindows7+sort%3Atime&qo=30#

I sent the DMCA notice to the Virtual Customs website, and was banned from the site in less than 10 minutes!

Yes the name is but that skin doesn't look like it.

That just proves their ignorance and determination to continue stealing other peoples work.  Me thinks more drastic measures will need to be taken to try bringing their site down altogether... like that's the only thing that'll stop 'em... as in NO safe haven to hide in.

I reported more of them, this guy has no originality at all.

Giz, I quote: vStyler for the venom objectdock skin I just changed to orange to match the theme
  Didn't you make the Venom Docks?

The Skins Factory as well.... DarkStar at the above link looks suspiciously like one of theirs.

In fact ALL the stuff on that page looks like it is ripped.  THAT IS  DARKMATTER  I HAVE IT IN  ONE OF THE SKIN FACTORY`S FOLDER  HERE.WITH  NAME CHANGE  I THINK

Looks like the Venom rip is gone.

Hi

Have just been reading what`s going on. I went to grim`s page on deviantart a few minutes before this post, and saw a screenshot of his new skin called Toxic. It will be ready in about 3 weeks.  Here is a link to =MrGrim01`s page- http://mrgrim01.deviantart.com/ .It has some features similar to venom, and i didn`t see poison so i can`t tell if is the same as toxic.

Yep...he's back at it! Recolored green and added a fastener to the Start Menu... more stolen graphics in the open windows. I guess his idea of originality involves going from "Poison" to "Toxic".

Someone do us all a favor?  Burn his Thesaurus!

I saw that he mentioned using Venom docks Jim. The problem is that they aren't very visible...in fact I tried very hard to see them and couldn't. Even though I made several Venom docks...my guess is that they are actually John's docks since as best as I can tell they look like the angled side shelf docks and I never made any of those. So it's just another thing added to the list of stuff stolen from John.

That orange dock looks like one of the Sexy Docks from waaaaay back.

Oh! And I'd bet my ass that the startmenu in that skin is from the Nvidia MediaPlayer below...or pretty damn close.

I checked out his deathstar skin and it looks a lot like a WB I had awhile back. I can't seem to remember the name though. Sorry. What got me was the task bar and the way it opens up for the pages.

yep theres a special place in hell reserved for this scumbag

Noted and reported once again.

This time I asked that he be banned across the whole site since he clearly has no understanding of copyright infringement or respect for other peoples work and nothing less than a total ban will get the point across.

I just now posted this little message on SergioGarcia9's site...

"Obviously you and your boy Grim don't get it! Once again he is using someone else graphics. Merely recoloring and changing small parts of the skin are not acceptable and is again copyright infringement and until it stops we won't stop. This is not a game...we've been doing "our own" graphics for years and will not sit idly by and watch as your group continues to steal graphics and then tries to profit from them. This is no different than you coming through the windows of our homes and stealing. Learn how to make your own graphics and you won't have this problem. We will continue to monitor this group until it stops. And telling us he is no longer a part of your group isn't going to wash anymore either since it's obvious you continue to support him.

You can ban us all you want from posting here but that is not going to stop us from stopping you and your groups. At this point we are now requesting a complete ban from DeviantArt and then we will focus all our attention on the rest of your sites/groups until you are stopped. Any reputation/credibility you had is now in the toilet. Have a nice day!"

He's also now been reported to The SkinsFactory for theft as well.

Me thinks I must've been a bad boy somewhere along the line.... I cannot comment on any of his pages/skins, etc.  It's like I can view everything but I'm unable to access anything interactive for some reason.

Maybe he came over and read that I'd remove all his nostril hairs.

And you KNOW Jeff will sic his lawyers on him if he doesn't comply!
