Themes: second row, third column

Rather depressing. And I'm not the only one obviously...

Did you try contacting Ebay with the news that someone is trying to sell your intellectual property? See what they'll do--I'm no lawyer, so I'm actually not quite certain that it's defined as intellectual policy, but just see what Ebay has to say.

[Edit: I also see, in the fourth column and second row of the wallpapers section, a wallpaper that one of our members released. Something like "seasons," or similar to that]

Its actually a devARTist that made the seasons one... they may have modded it though. regardless, this is the umpteenth time this has happened, and its already been mentioned on neowin, no doubt someone there will deal with it.

the change of seasons wall is by radish on neowin i believe. i think he reported it.

[sakurakira]

actually, if you really wanted to get the guy, you could sick Microsoft on his ass. one of the themes in the SS is (or appears to be), is an XP port/mod of the Royale Media Center Edition theme. i don't think they would be happy to find that a lickness of their theme was being sold on eBay....

[edit]
i find the fact that a person is actually selling those things to be pretty disgusting. it subverts the whole idea of the theming community >.<.

OYYYY these people pull this shi t once every few months....assmonkeys

[rjohnstone]

Official complaint had been filed with ebay.

[deathmedic3rd]

i think what should be questioned more than anything is wahts is the rest of the stuff that is on the DVD.
I mean, he's proberly got all the walls off dA and customize.org and alot of the best themes.

so he's proberly ripped off alot more people than we can tell

[mubach]

I bought one of the dvds just out of curiosity

[Unbeliever]

Where's the "report" button on eBay?

In my opinion that is the only way to stop this :slant:

****ing stealing bastards :mad:

[kaloyster]

mubach, so what are the other contents of the said CD?

[rjohnstone]

2-4 business days

you guys do realize I was being sarcastic right? :cool: :cool:

[smoovie]

I'm just wondering if any Stardock apps are on that thing along with the hacked/patched MS .dll to change skins. It would be very funny if people were paying money for a disk with a bunch of links on it. hahaha

[mxp]

i reported it .. and sent a message to the dude

[sakurakira]

well the bidding has ended, and there are 0 bids. yay .


@mubach actually i thought you were serious XD. kind of hard to tell sarcasm online unless you know the person, even if they put "" hehe.

@smoovie that's an interesting point. i don't think any of the themes in that SS he provided are Windowblinds themes, but it's hard to tell since they are so small; but i guess there are probably some on a huge DVD. also, i'm wondering if there do happen to be Stardock products on there, if the guy went further into law breaking by including sereal numbers and whatnot.
