Wallpaper Rips?

Sunday, November 4, 2001 by davad70 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

There's an MSN community http://communities.msn.com/wwwwindowsxpnu that has a section for XP Graphics, where "members" have uploaded various XP/OS wallpapers, several of which are by wallpaper artists that are members here (adni18, boxxi, ??). No credit is given to the artists. Thought you guys would want to know

Kind of ironic, don't ya think.........since every XP wall and skin, I've seen is a rip to begin with.

I can't get in to see because you have to be a member, but I have left a suitable message to the effect that no-one uses my graphics without permission, and i WILL sue!

I managed to get in, and left this message:
On page 26 of your XP wallpapers, you are displaying two of MY works, you have called them : XP24 and XP3, These have been placed here without my permission, and you haven't even credited my company (BoXXi Graphics) with making them. I have successfully sued other individuals and even large companies for stealing my work, and unless the aforementioned graphics are removed from this site forthwith, I shall pursue the same course of action against you. No further warnings will be issued, remove them now, and, in future, seek the permission of the authors of copyrighted material before you display it on your site. Bryan Cook: BoXXi Graphics.

No-one messes with the BoXman

Thank you for the information davad70,
I am used with this riping of my wallpapers, there was a time that more than 25 sites, they have riped my wallpapers without any comment for who is the author....

Hey Bryan...can you sue for me too;)
