Stealing fom SkinBase

Have you asked them to remove it Aaron?

Of course I did, but that is not the important. I´ve seen skins from artist like Jamaunzie, Butch123, Pinchecl, navigatsio.... If the artist have not uploaded the skins by themselves, it is a robbery. No other name. And if Media-paly.org is making money with a site full of skins from SkinBase, that money belongs to Greg and SkinBase. That´s my opinion, but I would like to know yours, SkinBasers and specially yours Greg.

Settle down Aaron....I understand your anger. I am on your side. I have visited the site and seen it for myself. I have also sent a PM to the individual and pointed out the correct ettiquette. I have also suggested that any work there on the site not authorised by the original artist should be removed. Have you contacted Butch and the others concerned. What have you done yourself thus far?

That is pretty outrageous... I can understand Aaron being pissed off. What a nerve the guy has got!

HI all...first I´d like to thank Aron for posting this. I checked out the website and find they are using some of my work. But when I checked the links they go directly to my work. Now there are quite a few site that do host other peoples work but I must agree that this is being done improperly. any of the other sties that host my work, first off, asks for my authorization in a PM. Trying to be open minded about this, maybe the person (he/she) doesnt know that they should as fior authorization but hopefully this will be cleared up. A PM is not very hard to type....

Im not there, But theres more than of ---------´s and more than one of ---------´s. I am sure it got over there somehow with permission..... If not, Hmmmmm :what

he didn´t steal from me..
but there are certainly alot of images I´ve seen here before

I´m sure I wouldn´t appreciate my work being taken and published by someone without at least giving me credit.

Well I see alot of my work on this site I did not give permission to be there I am Flattered that he likes my work but some of the stuff I do is for Skinbase only plus it does P____ me off he didnt ask see what can be done about it :o

Hi Guys! Thanks for the heads up. The following is the e-mail I sent along with a pm.

Several members of Skinbase.org are upset that you have taken their work and placed it on your website without their permission. As you may not be aware, this is in violation of copyright laws. I would suggest that sooner rather than later, you contact these members asking their permission to use their work or remove it from your site.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I also have notified gRAVE. Let me know if he contacts any of you.

Paparazzi germans

I have to confess that I didn´t realize how much ripping actually went on. I knew it existed but not to the extent that it is. Too naive I was. And I have learned when my brain is telling me that something isn´t right with an image, to check immediately. So, to the members of SB my apologies for not being dilligant enough with a serious, evergrowing problem.

Simple fact is that anyone using anyone elses skins or components thereof or using images without original artists permission is guilty of copyright infringement. Stock photos are there to use for a reason. There is no need to cut and paste someone elses livelyhood into your desktop to elevate your own standing. Those of us who have been around the traps long enough know copyright infringement when we see it. If you use others works be sure to include permission for doing so and grant the original creator a few lines of gratitude in your descriptions. It is simple courtesy to ask and to pay tribute.

Hahahahahaha!...lecrayon.....just saw your comment! At least I didn´t have a mouthful of coffee! We need a roll on the floor laughing emoticon,,,

Just keeping everyone up with the play here. Take a mosey over to [LINK] and look at what is on the front page. Look familiar. Media-play.org posted a log-on screen here with the exact same image but simply mirrored. It is an image copyrighted to Chowdy,WallpaperWorld.net and Jessica-Alba.com.
