Found a rip

Dark Mist's Wallpaper 'Bolt' https://www.wincustomize.com/window.asp?Cmd=COMMENTS&Lib=8&SkinID=9692
is a rip taken from an actual photograph found here: http://www.chaseday.com/lightning2.htm
the image is about halfway down the page.

Sorry to have to tell you this, he's such a good artist.

Thank you for your kind words, I made a mistake and had to correct it, though I must say a simple E-Mail to an Admin etc would of had it sorted easier but it's the way it goes I suppose.

In the end I just don't want to be listed as something i'm not.

Oh and DJGeoff even though this was not the way to go I just want you to know I hold no grudges.

, its funny indeed, imagine, DM ripping an image.

: evry artist here that did some skins and is active on the msgboard wouldn't even think of ripping! imagine they catch you and kick you out of WC (that won't happen, but it sure give's you a bad name....), the fact that DM already was willing to remove the wall is a sign that this was just a misunderstanding.

well anyway, evryobody back to work, and some admin kill this thread.
Sort like public hanging.

(but jafo, the image was ment for windows, and this wall to, so its not a rip right? )

Styl...clearly I'll have to explain it all to you more carefully, speaking dimly for the dim-witted....

, well ok, it might be that the cursors aren't ripped if you watch the rules, but it also isn't original.

But if I get it right, I would be allowed to port the original WMP skin to coolplayer? (without permission)

What are you talking about Styl skinner?! Just let the thread die already and start another one to talk about whatever it is you're talking about.

GH, I had mailed jafo about 2 cursor xp theme's that were uploaded (one is called fun theme or something, and the other is by the same author) it are original window cursors ported/ (ripped ) to cursor xp.

This thread is already dead.

Styl, that is covered by the infamous "gray area"      ....... if you wish to discuss it, start a new thread........... this one isn't dead, if you continue bumping it to the top.

I don't know if I understand correctly, but just to make things clear... Photodisc images certainly are not free, nor free of copy rights. Furthermore, I'm not sure buying an image would give you the rights to distribute it yourself afterwards, even if you modify it. I doubt it greatly.

Please let this die, amends have been made and case is closed. Thank you.

Actually this is the perfect place to expose such chicanery, why should this be a dirty little secret for admins only? I wanna see Wincustomizes dirty laundry.

1) You assume there is a little secret? No, you want to suggest there is.
2) You assume there is a dirty laundry? No, you want to suggest there is.

You want us to take you serious with a nick like EvilAggression? You are out of luck.

You want to troll this message board? Let's see how far we are willing to let you go.

Ok I can see what type of person I am dealing with here, you can make fun of my screen if you would like. I must inform you that making fun of names is a pattern of human behavior usually reserved for elementary school children. You can call me a troll if you wish; at least I am not a guy who takes someone else’s pictures, claiming that those pictures are mine.

If you had a brain you probably would not be dangerous.

I must inform you that I have just labeled you as a troll and therefore I don't make fun of your name. Instead I am very serious about it. Malicious trolls (the type of troll group you belong to) tend to select names like that. I am sorry that I need to stigmatize you, but I do have little compassion with trolls of your kind.

How generous.

EvilAggression...you have inferred that Dark Mist has been involved in an act of deliberate subterfuge/wrong-doing...where, in fact he has not....and the determination of which is our responsibility, not yours.....'dirty little secrets' will remain a perk of position of the admin/s.

If you had a brain you probably would not be dangerous.

Let me quote the Wikipedia on this.
"On the Internet, a troll is a person who posts messages that create controversy or an angry response without adding content to the discussion, often intentionally. Though technically different from flaming, which is an unmistakable direct personal attack, trolls often resort to innuendo or misdirection in the pursuit of their objective, which is to create controversy for its own sake, discredit those with whom they disagree, or sabotage discussion by creating an intimidating atmosphere."

Someone actually took the time to define 'troll'?.....Good Lord....
