Huston, I think we have a problem!!!!!
Friday, February 28, 2003 by adni18 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Jafo, I think we ALL have a problem!
I have just been informed that there is a company with the name Delphi-VCL Skin that sales the “Skin Engine” and with their product the give a huge number of skins, which means that the buyers of SkinEngine, can use those skins for having a profit with their business.
Here comes the good part of it!
The skins that they sell are all the works of known authors of WinCustomize, like Alexandrie, treetog, Mike Bryant, Grayhaze, essorant and many others.
There are no names, no credits, nothing, just an ID number of the skin.
Any one can download the skins for free, but the professionals can use them for their applications, sites etc and the have the right for the profit they will get, because the have purchase the Skin Engine!!!!!
I think this is too heavy to accept it.
I hope that our Official Layer Jafo will take care of it.
So, here something to start with Paul.
The following skin ID numbers are my skins:
0330
0294
0394
0379
0392
0177
0178
0034
0138
0377
0378
0060
0383
0353
0165
0249
0051
0203
0147
0075
0067
0030
0107
0055
0092

As usual with these things, I didn't see this thread until the whole thing was all over! 
Which of my skins were being redistributed?

I used to have a friend with the last name Huston. Anyway...
I took a look at the download for 'Skin Builder' which is still available on the site, and amongst the 34 skins included I identified the following:
skin0000.skn: 'XP Corona' by Alexandrie
skin0010.skn: 'seer' by essorant
skin0012.skn: 'QNX3' by Alexandrie
skin0016.skn: 'Olympics OS' by treetog
skin0037.skn: 'XP Platinum' by Alexandrie
skin0095.skn: 'Sinter' by essorant
skin0103.skn: 'Saphardana' by treetog
skin0204.skn: 'metalX v1.5' by grayhaze
skin0264.skn: 'Ketix' by essorant
skin0273.skn: 'Ferix' by essorant
There were also several others that I recognised, but couldn't put a name to. Then there were the XP and OSX ports which could have been any of a number which have appeared over the years.
Something needs to be done about this quickly. These people are leaving themselves open to substantial compensation lawsuits from several parties.

Aha, no wonder I didn't see this one before.
These, by the way, aren't them Russians. These guys are Chinese.

The page is not accessible so I assume it's been taken down. Hopefully it won't re-appear elsewhere. Not heard anything about the Skin Builder situation.

Perhaps I'm speaking out of turn, but their online means of payment is via "regsoft" and they are US based. Could they be an alternative means for a solution? Just a suggestion!

My poor English. I was refering to the skins page. The Skin Builder download situation is still unchanged as far as I know. So what happens next?
