Well said Syd

I do think the guys at DA who stole vstyler's ideas and work, they are eating this up, all this attention they are gettting from us folks on here, as hard as it would be to do, ignore them and they will go away, they are wise ass, arrogant thieves, and are eating up all this attention, if ignored long enough they will go away, just a thought, i would love to throttle them as much as the next guy, buy folks here making comments there, is just adding fuel to his fire, stop adding the fuel and the fire goes out, its kinda like dealing with an EX-WIFE LOL

From my dA site:

Me:

Mr. GRiM has taken vStyler's Windowblind "Venom" and used his graphics without permission to sell a theme called "Poison".

May he be banned from this site without further ado!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GRiM:

"You guys are all fucking retards, there is no doubt about it, you telling groups to ban me when I have already left, get a fucking clue you morons"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me:

Your intellect is exceeded only by your honesty and artistic talent.

I will leave your comment here as a tribute to my contempt for you and your ilk, and my loyalty to vStyler as an artist and friend.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GRiM:

"Mate I can do themes that fast, it's just a mock up in Photoshop, it doesn't take that long for a professional such as myself to achieve a quality theme, maybe you on the other hand struggle with intellect and ideas and maybe you have very little understanding of Photoshop, maybe you should stop being such a ridiculous fool with these unfounded accusations and try and keep some of your self respect intact."

[comment: I'll bet he can do them fast...how long does it take to steal someone else's ideas? Sort of the difference between a Ferrari factory and a chop shop, no?  But didn't he claim to have spent weeks on this?]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me:

A thief is a thief is a thief.
You've been branded for what you are. How long will it take you to realize the truth through all your self deceptions? Everyone else sees it, why can't you?

@Jafo.... Press the "Smite" button already!

I got a message from him too, on my site. I removed it because I couldnt respond to it (he has me blocked). Then I realized, all I had to do was respond on my site with a new comment, not a reply.

He is so arrogant and quite frankly, very rude. I blocked him anyway. I don't need his ilk casting insults at my friends on my page there. He just don't get it, and probably never will. I imagine others will be getting messages from him too.

He claimed it took a week to create that theme.

I got this notice at DA.

Oh, he gets it all right. He simply refuses to admit his guilt and own it. Instead, he'll spend hours protesting innocence, calling names and trying to muddy the issues. "Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

Jim, we didn't see the report they're answering...but if you reported (the rip of v's "Venom") how professional/skilled could their Moderation be?

After all, I don't think Jafo would have turned to their people unless he felt there was an issue. My best guess is that these notices are simply their "plausible denial" to avoid legal action.

I suggest that anyone that has their work at DA remove it, and tell them why.  Did it myself a long time ago.  The site has no copyright controls whatsoever.

I agree and was planning to do just that. I don't want to support a site that supports ripping. 

I can't help myself!!!!

MrGrim = the Pillage Idiot

Does anyone know where the defendant is located?  dA is in Los Angeles, California, where, you would think, they would take copyright infringement very seriously.

Australia. The Land of Jafo.

Read my Journal.

I'm still having conversations...

I'm still a member, just not with skins.

I truly believe Grim and the Grimmers are thieving bastards. However, if a RIP happens on WC we are told to deal with it privately thru PM to Moderation...Public rants are very discouraged here. Why is the public flame fest OK in this case? As I said, I truly believe Grim and the Grimmers are thieving bastards, but this all seems rather lynch mobbie to me and very immature with all the shit talking...Arent we better than this and them?

My stance is that I am blaming DA for not having better guidelines, or for not having a moderation team enforcing them.

I'm to afraid!
