tell us more about you and sen rev!

I think all the person wanted was some recognition for their tutorial, ive seen people post ‘copy’ tutorials all over the web, but these people have the common courtesy to say that they got inspiration from the site where they originally got the concept. and usually provide a link, saying ‘check it out’!!

::soulty:smirk:::

soulty -

I agree with you on that. A simple link for recognition would have
been at least a tip-of-the-hat for the hard work. The LEAST they
could have done, IMO.

true, but why waste the energy on them… Only you can let people effect you…

Rev

spoken like a wise, old, man…oops!

I didn’t mean OLD per se, just that you, uhhh…well are up there
in age, I mean you said it yourself, but…umm…and the words
you…uhh, said were uhh…well, you know…wise or something…

ahh forget it [puts both feet in mouth ;)]

Hey… Alot of people have copied my stuff and you don’t see me whining and throwing a fit… anymore that is…

When one of myd esigns got copied and used somewhere else… I was pissed at first… But then after sitting down and resoning with a bunch of thoguhts I just shrugged it off…

If someone wnats to be a fake… Let them be a fake… As long as you know that what you are doing is right in your own mind… Then you will be allright.

All is well and good with that, but when people are fake by copying exactly what you have, sometimes people tend to think you are the fake one if they saw the other one first. So some sort of credit should be given at least.

I’m sorry, but I have a lawyer to help me with this exact problem,
and for good reason. I have a copyright infringement letter that I
had written to serve as a “cease and dissist” for any
unauthorized work I find posted of mine.

It gets sent to the owner of the domain, the company that
represents the site, the isp that hosts it, and the owner of the
web site if I ever see any of my work posted elsewhere.

Once this letter is received, and no action is taken on their part, I
notify my lawyer, and it’s out of my hands and into the courts.

I don’t take copying/ripping lightly, and I don’t ever plan to. I
don’t work as hard as I do to make and create to have someone
come along in a few seconds and claim it as their own. :bad:

I’m making a living doing this, and plan to do it for a long time. My
and my company’s livelyhood depends on it.

This subject REALLY burns me, and I better stop now before I say
something I’ll regret…

i love those tutorials, thanks for the link. it’s too bad what happened, though.
