Rip Report....
Monday, March 31, 2003 by BoXXi | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
This website http://www.macoszone.com has ripped my walls without my permission. I have sent them a cease and desist e-mail. I suggest other authors check to see if they have been ripped too.
Judging by the extract from their terms of use page below, they claim to understand copyright laws. I think they need to take another look at the laws!

slinky...no, it's just a respect and enjoyment of our little skinning cosmos...someone 'needs' to help as and when they can...
So far, BoXXi's works have been removed, as has those 'unknown' works by 'unknown' author/s.
I'm getting there....slowly...

Thanks Paul, you are a star! If I wanted my works on sites like that I would post them there, and as my work these days is usually exclusive to this site, I hate it when others take it and offer it for download at sites that I would not personally be involved with.

If that is the one featuring Janetino's fractal wall... it was the first link in Boxxi's thread...
they do not have written pemission from her even though they did post her name as author.
It is still an unauthorized ripoff...

Styl...a 'Senior Member' at Devart tended to be [originally], people who had been around a long time in the skinning scene even prior to the genesis of Devart...but you'd have to ask Jark for more clarification...
[In my case I think it was more a subtle dig at my age]
