Guest cold_fire Posted October 23, 2005 Report Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) Hi it's Cold_Fire here ,i found out from another forum i am a member on that there are sites where homescreens from different authors are "stolen" and published under a differnt author .I followed a link and found 7 of my homescreens under a name of "alleynn" .The previews are exactly as here on MoDaCo they were not modified . Edited October 23, 2005 by cold_fire
Guest simon211175 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Posted October 23, 2005 'tis a sad fact. I've had many a theme "stolen" for other sites, although I have to admit never my smartphone themes. That's why you'll see my name printed on one of the screens in all my themes - if someone is sad enogh to claim it as their own then at least it'll still have my stamp on it.
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 23, 2005 Report Posted October 23, 2005 Not sure how we can combat this... I guess as the author, you have the right to request removal if you choose from other sites? P

On the preview it's not worthed because a new screnshot can b replaced .

P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It may be so but the site's language is kinda complicated .I'll see if i can get in touch with the site's admin.Oh and btw i sent u a private message .
Guest cold_fire Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) I have searched more and found 15 of my skins posted .The previews are original but the author is changed ,i also saw where from some of them were taken . Edited October 24, 2005 by cold_fire
Guest simon211175 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 On wich image are u printing your name Usually on one of the startup images, but it depends on the theme. Plus the xml file has my name in anyway, so the theme should always be recognisable as my own.
Guest James Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 What a bugger! but i supose there is not alot you can do except copmplain... hop you get what you want!
Guest chucky.egg Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 Some commercial company (I think it was an Operator) stole some of Kleinweder's skins a while ago and passed them off as theirs, and even promoted them as something they'd done for their loyal customers!

Plus the xml file has my name in anyway, so the theme should always be recognisable as my own. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok thanx ,the name on .xml file is quite for nothing because it can b changed .I'll keep in mind the other tips .Thanx ! ;)
Guest lastxserenade Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 i was on a nextel forum a few minutes ago and found someone taking credit for the really nice longhorn theme richie m. made. people are so pathetic.
Guest jaycounet Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Ok thanx ,the name on .xml file is quite for nothing because it can b changed .I'll keep in mind the other tips .Thanx ! :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah you know how to change the name and in a HME you can't change anymore. and i don't that the thief would open the hme to change the name so ... I'm in the same case as you ;) but my name are on the xml and my skin are pack in HME. and now yours too :D
Guest cold_fire Posted October 29, 2005 Report Posted October 29, 2005 yeah you know how to change the name and in a HME you can't change anymore. and i don't that the thief would open the hme to change the name so ... I'm in the same case as you ;) but my name are on the xml and my skin are pack in HME. and now yours too :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes thank you for the tips u've sent me .
Guest w411y Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 After installing a HME arent the xml and the jpg files copied into the application data/home folder? So surely the 'thief' can activesync them from that folder to their computer and then edit the author in the xml? If I'm right delete this post so nobody gets ideas :x
Guest chucky.egg Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 If I'm right delete this post so nobody gets ideas :x <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, you're right, but the "new owner" then has to repackage the files. Not that difficult to do, but possibly more effort than your average lazy content thief will want to put in.
Guest cold_fire Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 Yeah, you're right, but the "new owner" then has to repackage the files. Not that difficult to do, but possibly more effort than your average lazy content thief will want to put in. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are right ,but as i said the stupid who stole my homescreens did not even take new screenshots of the themes ,it used mine so i think that the author's name changing is less likely .I just hate people like that !!! :evil:

Gave the links on your site. As songs, books, images, pictures has authors, skins too. You ought to ask permission to the right owner to share his skins. And at least, mention him. You didn't. I would have given permission to do it to anyone as my aim is to please most people with my work. Now, you've got to delete them. I WILL NEVER GIVE YOU ANY AUTHORISATION TO SHARE MY WORK! And don' t try to place yourself as a victim. Is it also an anonimous poster that sent you TmR's lemondeduskin.com graphics?? No. You're just a thief. And the simple presence of pirate softwares (as noticed by MoDaCo Team members) on your site confirm this. DELETE MY WORK RIGHT NOW! You've got each link on the mail I sent to you. Here's a copy of my mail, edited from badwords and links... You’re trying to steal my work ! You’ve got one week from now to delete my skins, tweaks or everything you stole me from your site, "badword" ! For the moment, the whole community of skinners of the world you tried to steal is leaguing against you. I’m begining a campaign to inform the public that you stole every single homeskin you upload. Between my blog, Nectun, Airfagev, JDSkins, my Yahoo Group and every other people who is getting mad against you, there will be thousands of people insulting you from all over the world. I will continue to spread your mail to everyone until you delete my skin. This mail will be offered to people on various sites so that you’ll be overflooded soon. If you change your mail, I’ll find the new one and continue. STOP RIGHT NOW!

Guest [[[ZeN]]] Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) ywong, I know these sites since one moment, quite simply removes the skins copied and the problem is solved. --- jaycounet,Vulku,cold_fire, You have a terrible advantage on the person who shows herself voluntarily unjust towards you; you have the capacity to forgive him. --- PS : The speed of the light being higher than the speed of sound, many people have the air shining until they open the mouth. --- INFORMATION : At the end of the article L. 122-4 of the Code of the intellectual property, you cannot reproduce whole or part of these works on your site without to have obtained of it the authorization express of the holders of the rights: authors themselves, their heirs or managers of these rights. The use of a work protected without authorization is regarded as an act of counterfeit. It constitutes not only one fault likely to engage your civil liability but also a penal offence punished three years of imprisonment and 300 000 euros fine. Whether your site is free or paying, the rule is the same one. Thus, to avoid any judgment, take care first of all of well identifying the holders of the rights on works which you want to publish. Be vigilant, because several people can claim with the titularity of the rights on the same work: the author, the joint author, the editor, the producer... Ask a their then authorization written bearing on the setting on line of the works wished on your site. In the event of litigation, it will rest with to you to bring back the proof of the existence of this authorization under the conditions envisaged by the articles L. 131-2 and L. 131-3 of the Code the intellectual property. It is thus preferable, for more safety, than it comprises the handwritten or electronic signature holders of the rights.
