Rip on www.tss2000.nl

Published on January 16, 2004 By MadIce In WinCustomize Talk

Last year I was ripped by a guy called OnlyMe. He "ported" my BlackAndBlue WB skin to MSStyles. I was able to make him remove his rips and he even removed his site. It's an aggressive guy who wrote a nasty e-mail back, but he removed it.

Now he is back in action and I found my skin on a Dutch site: http://www.tss2000.nl/site_pages/index.php .

I have written the administrator of that site with a request to remove his "work". I also CCed this request to T-man and Jafo so they know what's going on.

I am not sure if there are more rips there, but maybe skinners should have a look.

I do not know if these had permissions or not.

Corona and XBOX are on this page.

If the link does not work this time they are on page 9 in XP Themes.

XBOX was made by the same person for both formats. (even before Skinstudio had this one-click conversion thing

)

Corona is copyrighted by Microsoft and nobody else. there are plenty of Corona rips around the net (not as many as Aqua rips though). btw: compare the look of the skins, not the name.
