He keeps flagging everyone's comments as spam so I left this for him again and I'll keep visiting until it's taken down.

"Gee...getting a lot of spam are we? Nah...Just comments on your thievery but I guess it helps you to sell stolen skins by hiding everyone's comments explaining how you steal other peoples work and call them your own. Honesty is the best policy..stealing is not. Dude...we are relentless and will hunt you out where ever you are on the internet and let people know you are a thief. Enjoy the ride!"

 

He left a feedback remark on my DeviantArt site....

 

"Why would I give in to these bully tactics from vStyler and his crew, it's all a load a bullshit, there is nothing stolen in this theme and he knows it and as it seems he will not admit that I was the creator of this theme I will post the PSD's so you all can see."

 

He had a link there but it was set to private.

I'm able to get to this thief's commercial site through dA.

The Admin at dA needs to ban his butt. John, you're not the only one whose work got ripped. This guy needs some serious 'love' from Paul.

Apart from that, he actually has the nerve to write this on his commercial site: (I have removed the active links)

 

"My entry for Clash of the Titans VC 2010 Showdown called Poison, you can find the Clash Of the Titans Thread here

This theme was based on the best WB theme I have ever seen called VENOM by vStyler, all images were reproduced with every detail and of course some of my own style was put into them as well, I made this theme because of the respect and admiration to vStyler.

Please don't forget to have a look at vStylers gallery and his brilliant VENOM WB theme

This thief has the gall to tell people how hard he worked?!   Yeah. While v was on vacation. He thinks he created the graphics?

Sic 'em, Jafo!!!

Edit: The plain and simple fact remains: He did this without vStyler's permission. That was most likely due to cupidity and arrogance.

This is why I don't visit DA anymore. It's a wretched cess pit of thievery and scum.

Wish I could help you out buddy, but I cannot post at deviantArt anymore, and this is exactly the reason I left that stinking trash site.  I reported a RIP last year and they completely ignored me, so I pulled all my work off their site and asked them to delete my account.  Funny, they would not pull the RIP, but they deleted my account without hesitation.  I hate people who RIP other peoples work, period!

That is because DA is a trash site, even worse than ThemeXP was.

i posted this on his virtual customs site in the thread about 'his' poison theme:

wow. you're a real dickhead. stealing (yes, the word is 'stealing' not 'steeling' like you've used on other sites) work done by others and then passing it off as yours take courage or loads of ignorance. i'm betting it's loads of ignorance in your case. you must have spent almost ten minutes adding the word 'poison' to vstyler's graphics. when you grow up and actually create a theme of your own that someone else mods and tries to pass it off as his, you'll understand how it feels to be ripped. judging your other work here, it's obvious you have yet to reach that point, though. the ONLY quality skin listed here as yours is the VENOM rip. congrats on being a complete douchbag, mrgrim.

i'm sure i'll be banned shortly

 

(notice the COLTS blue?)

I left a policy violation report for the guys at Devart.

They tend to be slow...but they are effective.

I expect he will be removed from their site.

As to his own site....that's probably a case for peeps who are into IP tracing....and having his ISP pull his account.

If  MrGRiM01 happens past this thread at any time....specific precedent exists in Australia for him to suffer commercial/financial restitution [vStyler WILL win, this is not in question].

It's specifically the role of the IP owner whose works are stolen or used without consent to forward the appropriate DMCA, after which options are open for litigation.

Sadly it's the nature of the [Internet] beast that idiots will populate it.

I see that scum sucker's name is Mark.

He's nothing but a low-life for bringing such a noble name down with disrepute and stealing other folks work.

More power to you, Jafo. That GRiM idiot needs a "Bebi Treatment".

He probably pirated your name. Mark my words...oops... Please note: Shakespeare was correct. A smuck like him would equally ill grace any name.
