x-box wallpaper ripped
Sunday, March 16, 2003 by Styl-X Design | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm not sure, but I think that the wallpaper from the skinsfactory is ripped (x-box wallpaper.)

Apple has a right to control it's intellectual property doesn't it?
I am kind of on the fence about intellectual property rights and such. I feel that people who have put a lot of work into creating music, movie, software, and other products that have no concrete existence deserve to be paid for it. I just think some copyright owners such as record companies really go to far in controlling intellectual property.
I have purchased the premium suites offered by Stardock and Pixtudio and I am very happy with them. I recently purchased the Wincustomize Browser so that I can get the premium suites released only for Wincustomize subscribers and to have a less limited way to access skins and themes from Wincustomize.
I appreciate the high standards set forth for what submitted wallpapers will be posted. I like being able to select from a collection of high quality wallpaper. I wish the same standards could be set for submitted skins and themes. Too many times I have downloaded a skin that looked good in a screenshot and turned out to be crappy when actually on my system.

I'm glad you like Pixtudio's work...but while you are enjoying it/them, I'm chasing someone who has deprived them of approximately $26,000 US of lost [potential] custom.

I think Apple and Microsoft already know about all this. How they found out I have no clue.

If I recall correctly, Stardock (Wincustomize) has dealt with both MS and Apple with regards to this issue in the past and it seems that they've "resolved" their differences in a suitable manner to appease all parties. I'd be comfortable in saying that whatever appears on Wincusto or Stardock's sites, meets up with mutually agreed upon criteria.
