The work that had images from my Windowblind has been removed from DA.

Great, Lady X! 

Also great news about Jeff. These guys are being rolled up, but the primary commercial site is the jackpot... when it gets rolled up, it'll pop up again... so let's stay vigilant.

You know, with regards to "his" Toxic skin... it actually has quite a bit of it that isn't part of Venom at all. Like that taskbar. Those open/close buttons and scrollbars, along with most of the start menu look familiar though.

I, and I doubt John would have much of a problem with that skin if he asked to create a "similar to Venom" skin from the beginning and changed more about it. What gets me is the guy's arrogance...

SERIOUSLY!? I hate to tell him this, but nothing about "Toxic" is original, and taking someone else's design and changing a few things about it doesn't make you a real artist.

Hell, he can't even be a jerk online in an original way. Trolls have been acting like that since the 90s. 

little curious about the claims that grimmy and John have been in communications and that graphics files had been sent to John to review. is there any truth in that and what might the outcome be.

anyhow, sent this to virtual customs themes:

Poison window 7 theme by Mr. Grim appears to be direct copy or design rip of Vstyler's windowblind Venom. Personally, the copywrite issues should be obvious, might this, and other works, be removed to avoid confusion to the artists and legal ramifications?

After some "discussions" over the last coupla days with the GRiM & fanboys.... you can only conclude that to call them neanderthals, would be doing neanderthals a grave injustice....

it's quite disappointing that you can't even try and communicate with them.... to have an exchange of views and try and explain that what they are doing is wrong.... I'm sure they very well know it's wrong...but like to hide behind a curtain of indignance so they can just keep taking the shortcuts of chopping up other creative skinner's blinds.....and all pat themselves on the back as to how clever they are...... none of them seem to show the slightest indignation that this GRiM dude has entered a competition with someone's elses work....which is just the height of gall to me....beyond even the ripping or the selling....just can't get my head around that one at all...and they all find it quite acceptable...which tells you alot about the other competitors....that's obviously their accepted rules...

the skinners ripping and supporting ripping are a very juvenile, edukayshun challenged lot who can't master the English language, leave alone master an original design.... and I 'relize' now that the best course of action is as Jafo stated previously....but,  I had to find it out for myself.... ...and...wow.... that lot are scraping the bottom of the evolution barrel....

Well said Syd

From my dA site:

Me:

Mr. GRiM has taken vStyler's Windowblind "Venom" and used his graphics without permission to sell a theme called "Poison".

May he be banned from this site without further ado!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GRiM:

"You guys are all fucking retards, there is no doubt about it, you telling groups to ban me when I have already left, get a fucking clue you morons"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me:

Your intellect is exceeded only by your honesty and artistic talent.

I will leave your comment here as a tribute to my contempt for you and your ilk, and my loyalty to vStyler as an artist and friend.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GRiM:

"Mate I can do themes that fast, it's just a mock up in Photoshop, it doesn't take that long for a professional such as myself to achieve a quality theme, maybe you on the other hand struggle with intellect and ideas and maybe you have very little understanding of Photoshop, maybe you should stop being such a ridiculous fool with these unfounded accusations and try and keep some of your self respect intact."

[comment: I'll bet he can do them fast...how long does it take to steal someone else's ideas? Sort of the difference between a Ferrari factory and a chop shop, no?  But didn't he claim to have spent weeks on this?]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me:

A thief is a thief is a thief.
You've been branded for what you are. How long will it take you to realize the truth through all your self deceptions? Everyone else sees it, why can't you?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@Jafo.... Press the "Smite" button already!

He claimed it took a week to create that theme.

Oh, he gets it all right. He simply refuses to admit his guilt and own it. Instead, he'll spend hours protesting innocence, calling names and trying to muddy the issues. "Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

I suggest that anyone that has their work at DA remove it, and tell them why.  Did it myself a long time ago.  The site has no copyright controls whatsoever.

I can't help myself!!!!
