~Here is another chapter on stealing~ updated 08/06/09

So it seems that just got around to my messages i sent him in January asking him why he was stealing peoples application files & posting them as his own. I told him he should remove them, of course he did not. I'm glad he reminded me though, because i have reported them & am sure they will be removed very soon. If you would like to tell him what a low life he is before these are removed, please do!

He really doesn't care at all that he is stealing.

my post:"These are not yours either!
Why don't you just remove all of the files that you stole instead of waiting for someone to ask you to do so one by one???!!"

his reply: "get a life dude!" find it here -->[link]

Its not just 1 or 2 files he steals, he takes like 50-100 whole sets from different people & combines them & uploads them. That is a lot of theft!!

again, my post:"These are not yours either!
Why don't you just remove all of the files that you stole instead of waiting for someone to ask you to do so one by one???!!"

his response: "why dont you do something constructive with your time?
like jumping off the nearest cliff?" found here:[link]

again, i think his callousness just shows how he has absolutely no concept of respect for other peoples stuff.

I am 100% positive all of his application files are stolen, i have linked dA to the appropriate sites of the original creators.

Again, i'm sure his fils will be removed in a few days, but please tell him what you think of his theft here --> [link]


Thanks a lot guys!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~update~~~~~~~~~~~

I am happy to announce that today I sent another message to Brushes Download ( # 5 or 6) after having received no response to previous sent requests. I promptly received this reply:

"I am sorry for all this. I don't have problems to remove your brushes or anybody who ask me for. I don't know what happen with your other mail from you, I didn't read that before. Anyway, of course I will remove your brushes.

Thanks for contact us and I am sorry again, I really don't want problems."

PS: Sorry about my english."

I do not know what happened to my other messages either, but I am quite pleased by this. I responded with a thanks and no hard feelings and was sent this:

"Well, as you request, I removed all your brushes, you can check them out !

Sorry again. I will not upload your brushes anymore.

Thanks for contact us !"


....and yes, I did check all of my links ;>
They have all been removed (except one that is a different file but still has my preview - they are unrelated ), I find it interesting though how all of the links already belong to others?

So i wanted to up date anyone who may have wondered what happened with all of this. I know I have contacted maybe 30 deviants today,(the first 30 in the "new brushes" section) I know some of you don't care as long as they link back to you.
For those of those of you do care I guess the point is that they seem like nice enough folk and if you ask them to remove your application file/files they will. If you don't get a reply right away, just try a few more times, you will ;>

It is nice to have this little annoyance out of the way, I feel like I won't have any further issues with them regarding my files.


**Another thing I found interesting was that of the aprox. 30 files I checked today, all but one was from deviantART.....so...





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry to say not only did i find 11 of my own brushes posted on this site with OUT my permission, but while gandering i saw many brushes belonging to others here on deviantART.

Here is the site: brushesdownload

Anyone who reads this who makes brushes or gradients should take a look and see if they are posting your property. If they are, you should firmly ask them to remove it/them immediately.

Anyone with the misfortune of having experience in this area and have any suggestions as to how i can "bring some heat" down on them, i'm all ears.

I will add thieving sites to this journal when/if i come across them.
