I'm ashamed of my people - he didn't even bother to change the text in the wp.

Both were posted by Dangeruss. And without prior permission from him to post this on your site. It goes against copyright laws. So, please delete it from your site. :angry:

To repsond, respond to the person above my post. And no, I'm a diffrent person then him. I probably won't be the last if you continue to keep this up. Thanks.

One could also direct them to that wallpaper on Dangeruss' website:
http://www.dangeruss-industries.com/wallpapers4.htm

If you read at the top, it clearly says:

"IMPORTANT: Artwork on these pages are not covered by the open source agreement and are copyright Russ Schwenkler - aka Dangeruss."

And at te bottom of the page:
"Dangeruss Industries.com
Copyright2002-2003 All rights reserved"

BTW: Did somebody email Russ to let him flame the heck out of them too?

I don't want to become a member of that crappy site just over this, so maybe somebody could post something like:

" Well, yes, that would be a good start. How about you only uploads things that is legally yours in the future?"

Russ uploaded that picture on Wincustomize.com, so we have a vested interest in protecting its copyright.
Anything posted here and subsequently unlawfully redistributed without consent elsewhere is as much an afront to Wincustomize.com and Deviantart.com [both being legitimate hosting sites] as it is [in this case] to Dangeruss, himself...

It's sad I think that the majority of these people don't even understand what makes it a rip. We're all just raving lunatics to them. But someone made that "little picture" ... it didn't just appear from thin air, for them to post at will all over creation. People are just stupid.

Perhaps if they do this again they will believe their ISP. Really crappy attitudes. Makes me feel stupid for giving them the benefit of the doubt... >

Hey! Thanks for all the behind the scenes efforts here. I guess the violation is gone, so all's well. This site sounds like a real "treasure".

I didn't curse or say anything bad myself either. I even put the links to the orignals. O'well.. They are Mac.
