Thanks Island Dog, I feel OK leaving this in your hands and trusting you will do the right thing. ."No matter how you wish to use it - Ask FIRST." I don't think that's totally possible in this industry, not this as in this place but as in video editing, what we cater to with our work. For me I think violations like this are pretty clearly evident. He got some thing from some place put it online some other place and said go ahead and DL it, it's mine. Right he has to say it's h

Thanks Dave. Great point about that guy being a known liar at this point. I read this one more time and when Island Dog chimed in I figured finally someone that can and will do some thing so I sent him links to the work. Also great point about if they take this seriously why is this guy still here... Tons of work is stolen and in this guys portfolio and writing it up as a misinterpretation on his part seems grossly negligent to me. Also the amount of sticking up for him and trying to ke
Well there mods are talking to me saying the same thing over and over giving me the run around, in my eyes refusing to do any thing. Saying how it's not being sold, soooo.... That's why to me it's basically already escalated. If you have already reported them to all of them then that's allot more then I have done. I was still on the giving them time.. I contacted appropriate channels at the sites that sell our work legally, Ill just wait and see if they have better luck. Can you do me a sold
Hey Dave you know allot about this stuff they are saying they are a "Stardock.corp] is a Gold Partner to Microsoft" so do you still, or currently have any contacts at Microsoft? They basically are giving me run around in PM, I'm done with dealing with this. So do we pass these guys off to sites that legally host our work or contact microsoft, or both? Hit me up via email.

Right on Dave, sup you get some sleep finally? Was that one yours? I'm not trying to escalate it, just chatting and defending my point of view till I'm blue in the face. For some reason that seems like escalating it, or flaming to these people, we know each other Dave this isn't flaming...You make a good point with the family stuff, I'm right there with you. I shot P5 a quick message about it, I'm trying to be nice and not take it there yet. Really I just want it removed, it's not like anyone
OK well the terms of service are in severe violation, so I'm really wondering when that's going to get fixed. Thanks for filling me in, I can assure you I have already provided the prof of ownership... So just waiting for action, I would provide it to you guys too but that would be outing the guy, and I guess that's considered flaming here? Personally I don't have a problem outing him because he is stealing from allot of people. There is no need for the poll did she really say that! Y
Yeah it's still online, so there you go... On with the poll?
Well I'm new and I saw allot of copyrighted work being passed out for free, so I thought there was a need for a poll.. We are all entitled to our opinions, and being my first few hrs on here I figured it was the best way to find out if it was a little P2P scam, theft site was to just poll the users. That's harmless enough right? Seriously this is the internet, you I'm sure have been on it for more then just today... You can understand how much of that goes on in the world right? Can we stop t
Hey thanks for the advice I appreciate it and it seems like it came from a good place. I totally understand what your saying, but the funny thing about this is, I just wanted to poll users... I didn't want to make this a big thing. See the sites I work with take this stuff extremely seriously, and you just never know what type of site this is when you have only been a member for a few hrs. Basically my poll was not to flame anyone I have no need to flame the accused because I have all the pro
Hey NP KK5hy, and thanks for your support! I posted links on P5 and invited the artists there to come here and check it out. I figured why stop there though, so I posted on SS and Revo too. Hopefully we can stop this free give away of our work from taking place for much longer. I wonder if any of them will take it upon themselves to strap on there lawsuit boots and go to town on this place. It would give them so much cred with all the artists who upload on there site. I mean I'm not suggestin
Also Hankers I sent you a message thanking you for your help earlier, (that you didn't respond to at all)I think I have been really nice about all this... Even when I was told that, they not sure the rights I have to my own work, I didn't lose my cool I was nice about it. I have been nice to Jafo in PM too. Really I don't have to be nice about it, I decided to be. So why are you acting in such a hostile way and saying you will remove my ability to post? That's just not justified if you ask me
I'm handling it through PM with him, I'm not ignoring any thing. My poll is separate as I saw it. I didn't even bring that stuff up, I was just posting this poll, it's everyone else that is drawing this conclusion... I'm really sorry, I'm just very used to having freedom of speech, I had no idea that this was a shut up or we will shut you up kind of a place. I'm not sure why it's not OK for me to say any thing on the forum? I joined, I'm not saying mean things... I even fi
As of today correct, I would never have been a member here at all if some guy had not gone on Pond5 and said some thing on the forum about how you could get are work for free on this fine site. Minor investigation on my part later and Taaa Daaa! I'm a forum member! Really I'm not trying to be mean, just trying to get my point across, and as a forum member that's OK for me to do right? I'm not flaming anyone, just using the forum, being an active forum member that's what it's a

Is it OK to give away someone's work? Just want to take a general poll of what you the users of Wincustomize think about that...
