even I am guilty of a little copyright infringement in the bootskin section, but ripping a whole wall is a lot farther then where I have stepped over the boundary. Anyway there are a lot of theives at the evil site compared to elsewhere. mostly in my opinion because of the lack of good moderation.

Aside from 'evil doers' at any 'evil website' the fact remains that the boot skins were made using an already existing wallpaper from apparently another author, and there is no permission text attached to either skin.

if you think that every submission at the other site is a rip, then you are just plain dumb. if you´re looking


Hey moshi... I hope your kidding with that "dumb" remark. I really don't want to have have to start slamming you.
I think you MEANT to phrase that as: "Thinking that every submission at the other site is a rip, is just plain dumb. Has a much better ring to it don't you think.

I never said everything there is a rip.. but it is common knowledge that they are extremely lax with removing rips. Just for fun, go there, to the wallpaper section, and do a search for "Mustang". Straight out, blatant rips direct from Ford Motor Company's website. That's just a small example too.

moshi, no not everyone is lame enough to RIP on that site, but they have a number who are without a doubt. There are some very talented people whom use that site which spend the time and effort to create instead of take...

moshi...thanks for that wall link....I'd thought both may have been a 'problem' and was waiting for verification.....they'll be dealt with.

There are several bootskins that need closer 'attention'...
