RIP Gallery

desirex / 1 decade ago (02 June 2006 03:45)

this guy has 0 of his own photos.
all of them belong to Webshots, Skins.BE and other sites.

he even went as far as stealing premium photos from Webshots.

this is what he published here:

http://www.skinbase.org/rate.php?skins=28980

here is the original:

http://www.webshots.com/g/33/618-sh/29955.html

----------------------------------------------
this is just the smallest example. i can find you lots of links but hope that he will make the right decision. he holds more than 4 other Webshots wallpapers which i hope will be removed by him rather than have Webshots charge him for god only knows what. they can do that esspecially when it's premium photos..
all other wallpapers including those from Skins.BE should be gone as well.

Now, he is being given a chance to clean out his own gallery so let´s give that a chance to happen. It´s always better when they remove things on their own. Booming love

I checked out this gallery in question. Lots of nudes and stuff I don´t consider ´art´ but that kinda stuff gets major downloads. I could see ´nipples´ in the Bobby Billard wallpaper, for this reason my thirteen year old son doesn´t visit this site and others with the same mentioned ´art´, (sub art). Anyway, to me his gallery is a big joke, who said that, I said that and a whole lot of other people who don´t have the extra two minutes to type it. I have a forty word per minute speed and don´t mind letting others know that ´crap´ is crap. Be original or stay off public sites with your ´RIPS´ of porn taste. Yes, the truth hurts, and it will set you free as well. :adminpk Congratulation A w a r d lol :moon :moon :moon

Glad I know about it. We cant feature stuff like this. Now I am removing favorites and from buddies - not that I hate him and his taste. Sets a bad example to highlight stealing, though. Not necessary + not how it works. Some people are a bit young + underestimate things (I will never be sure whos really sitting there).

If you credit, get permits, or make a variation its different. Some just alter 2 pixels, that backfires in the long run. Thanks for report, a serious case Sad

When browsing through and correcting my favorites, I saw he was in contests and even gave permits to OTHER artists for a variation. Now what do other serious artists feel like who worry about a permit but never know for sure where THEIR supplier get its from? Sure lucky that didnt happen to me yet.

lol, Captain America.
nudity is permited in most customizing communities such as this one along with Wincustomize and DevART. what´s bad is that Skins.BE is the owner of all of them. He removed the (C) notes that show that.

I agree with Artur. I could understand someone ripping art if he could, for example, sell the art and make money. I said understand, not aprove it. In fact pictures, songs, books (see Da Vinci Code affair) have been fighting with plagiarism since the man is on earth. But here we are talking of something different. When I make a wall or a skin I enjoy the process to create it. I spend hours making changes, variations, colours...you know. When I´m satisfied with the result I post it and I feel happy to have created something that I like. Then, people start downloading it and I feel much more happy, because someone is enjoying something I created. And at the end, your nice comments also make me feel good. So, nothing of this happens to the one who rips. You have 400 downloads and 20 comments saying you are a great artist...but you aren´t...and you know it. So, where is the pleasure?. Greetings to all Skinbasers. Happy

I´m thinking that maybe when we upload a photo or image we could perhaps put a personal small watermark on, that would put other people of from stealing the work. Just an idea what do you think? Smile

The thing that I don´t understand is the why too Aaron. And the fact that a ripper always gets caught. It may take a little time but some where down the line, he will make a mistake. They all do. Unfortunately nothing is gained by the ripper except the low opinion of fellow members. Fortunately SB is full of wonderful, creative artists and that´s what I care about. Booming love

Recognition, coverage, attention, those are the forces driving rippers.

It´s like buying a fancy car and say "hey, look at my fancy car". Yeah, great car, too bad about the poser driving it.
