OK...so I was getting heavy-handed but Vladimir has been a thorn in the side for so darn long...and dragging heels over the righting of wrongs...
It's back-to -front as a conversation...but you'll get the gist of it.
Thankyou, Lars for your efforts so far...
Hi Paul,
I removed the link to PixOS from my site.
But I found https://www.wincustomize.com/msgboard.asp?BID=WC&id=150208 in my
logfiles and want to ask whether there are other skins by him which aren't
ok.
I informed Vladimir about the removal too.
I think if you send a mail with such explanations to Fredrik Andersson
<[email protected]> he'll remove the skin.
Lars

Hi,
Thanks for letting me know about this. It seems like a big mess...
I will contact these guys today and sort this out. The copyrighted skins will be removed from MyOpera.
Could you please tell me which skins by Vladimir shall be removed from my site?

if someone is hosting a site with ripped stuff, there is a very small change (1% or less) that there is something from himself between it!Reply #12 Tuesday, May 20, 2003 5:35 PM
OK, They took off the PixOS skin, but the ToonXP is still there!!!

In the REAL WORLD of issues of abuse of copyright/s and 'ripping', it seems we are one step closer to resolving one issue that has irked for some time.
I really get a buzz out of 'kicking goals' and actually helping solve problems that concern so many of us so often.
It may be just one little battle in a never-ending war....but look after the little ones and the big ones look after themselves...
