Is this a rip?
Wednesday, July 18, 2001 by treetog | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I recieved a message alerting me about this...
http://www.winamp.com/skins/detail.jhtml?componentId=61331
I really don't know how to proceed, since the person gave the credits in the skin's description, but never asked for my persmission and also changed my original graphics (erasing the skins real name of the titlebar).
I remember that last year, someone made a rip's list at skinz org and all the ripped skins were banished from the damn winamp.com site.
It seems that this kind of sucking things will never ands there.

Well it is either flattery that made him do it, or it is something elese which is beyond my scope of thought right now.. But either way, the fact he did ask you Renato, is pretty low. Winamp should take this down I think in repect of the fact that you are the real author of the skin.

Ms Cat...it is the desire to bask in reflected glory...."hey look at me...I have the most popular 'copy' of a famous skin".....

Wow! This is really sad... Please let us know how things turn out Renato because we could band together and complain to nullsoft - the fact that they promoted this rip in a newsletter is a terrible breach of copyright. I think they even owe you an apology in their next newsletter...

That's rather nasty, treetog, since I love that skin. And the thing is pink!!! ew!
sorry it happened to you, treetog..even though I'm sure it's not the first time.

Sent and e-mail to [email protected]
I think if everyone sends an e-mail and complains, they'll listen eventually.
Then again, if their deaf, there's no sense in speaking at all... arghhh

Yes....the skin is still on line and continuing to be showed as a featured skin, nothing was done so far.
During just the last 48 hours, the skin was downloaded over 10,000 times.
I'd like to thank to all of you that placed comments about the rip on the skin at winamp.com.
I just uploaded the original one over there, for them don't have the excuse, that the skin wasn't there.

I just openned a thread on winamp.com forum, asking them to remove the skin.
Let's see how much time they will spend to proceed it.
Gracias Pablito (Jafo)
