Dude...that pisses me off & I didn't even draw them! The fact that some idiot is using ur shit w/o permission etc. Just irritates the crap out of me. Hope it gets worked out.

Oh I know EXACTLY what you're talking about! I hate people who think Google Image Search is a way to find free images for their website. Do they not understand it's like ripping a page out of a book, copying the text verbatim to make a book of their own? That's WRONG right?

When kids have computer class in school and learn about the Internet...this is one thing they should teach them. ARRRRGGGG! :( Hopefully your email will get those graphics removed.

You want to know something crazy...the other day I discovered a website that had RIPPED 48 PATCHES (including member patches) from the Q*Bee and posted it on some profile on a forum. Not only that, they were HOTLINKING those patches from different members sites, which was craaaazy. Luckily. we were able to get them removed. People are stupid, I don't care how naive they are about the web...

Hi Melissa,

Long time, no see.
I like the new Blog look, very nice:)

The problem you are having seems to be an ongoing problem here on the net and most people don't even realize that their stuff is being stolen or hot-linked.

Your generosity and the way you display your images makes it really easy for these kind of people to rip you off.

You can keep most of the thieves at bay by protecting your images and requiring people to register for access to download the images.

If you need help protecting your images, let me know.

Fortunately, my biggest problem are the people who like to share a download page after they bought something.

They seem to think that because they bought something from me they have the right to share the downloads with everyone.

Let me know when you write the big fat book called ‘How not to be a fuck-tard: for idiots’.

I'll post it.
I think you could sell a few copies.

That's sucks, I was be pissed too. I hope that issue gets resolved quickly.

And I agree with Melissa. It's surprising how many people think Google images is fair game for taking whatever image appears and using it however you want. But then again, most computer/internet related classes don't attempt to educate people on copyright and what material can and cannot be used for personal and commercial use.

Mh, that's horrible, just for someone to steal after all the effort in making your graphics..
Hope they delete that page soon, since it's still online and also, for that to never happen again..
