c242...if you get hate-mail from this uploader...whether related to his uploading at ArtUproar, or here at Wincusto....the result will be the same....for him...

Jam: Apologies. I was looking at the wrong Whirling Dervish in your section. Was looking at Whirling Dervish 5 and it had a resemblance but was not exactly the same. Now I have seen the light so to speak. A bit foolish of him to upload with the same name.

pjpowell, I think this is the same guy who was doing this there a few months ago. The MO is identical, he takes other peoples work and tacks a 1280 onto the end of the identical title and calls it his own. He was booted then, but I think he came back under another name and is doing the same thing.

JM they have removed the offending rip. I posted on DA's RIP Report board and got an earfull geez... but as soon as they seen it they finally did something about it.
They sure don't seem to read email over there.

§tatic, I submitted FIVE policy violations over two days and they just ignored me..
Finally, I left a comment on his rip telling him I would have my lawyer sue him if he didn't remove it, and within
ten minutes I received a policy violation from DA for harassing the guy!!!
Yes, they did finally remove it but I still have the policy violation on my page... >
Thanks again for all your help in this matter...

I am not about to even think of what my place in that rumba line might be

just got to focus as best I can on positive things and let the negative slip off the back

cause Jafo might get his wooden bat/club thingy and slap me smart, silly would only knock me further down my current location on the bar scale

On the topic of "rip offs"... what do you call what I do... since I can't find a DX theme that I like, I take others and mix and match to my liking, however it is only on my computer and nowhere else. I don't upload it anywhere or give a "copy" to others, why? because I know it's wrong, but I also want my computer to be unique.
