Where’s that apple skin?
Thursday, February 27, 2003 by johnct | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Where’s that apple skin for desktop x, not sure who the author was, it was in the top downloads. I went to download it today and it gone. I hate it when artist remove their work, epically when it’s really good.

I think it was the " Apple" OS-X ..... Apple is a registered trademarked name of all things...

anyway, like I said, it sux, but... can't fight a Global reaching Corporation over a word, or an icon really...
just hope they don't take notice and decide to go on an extermination quest...
With Meta-spyders they can get a list of every location that the words "Apple Icons" are listed, and then take time to browse around and pick one or two out and thats enough for word to get out... i would think they would like the fact that Windows owners want it painted like a Mac

OK...perhaps every single reference to 'Apple' 'Macintosh' and 'OSX' and all derived graphics included in whole, or in part need to be totally deleted.
Perhaps absolutely NO reference or association or comparison is to be allowed.
This may very well be our near future.
Anything even vaguely 'derived' must go.
Could be a good thing....making skinners and artists actually do their own work for once instead of taking Apple's...

sad but also maybe very true...
It's kind of like Russian Roulette with every chamber loaded but one really.
They wouldn't even have to work hard to track back to every site posting such skins and things...
I think what they are pushing for mostly is after reading some of the stuff on the link, is for people to purchase rights to use these things. I do not know if they would do it for a site, and then that cover the skinners and such, because even if it was setup so the work is supposed to only be posted on that paticular site, it would all eventually hit the net
anyway...
mums the word
thats an admin,wizop,frogboy kinda choice thing dohicky
