Icon Theft Alert

[saifai]

Please check out velvetwhip's post (and comments too!) here if you're a Buffy/Angel/Veronica Mars icon maker.  She listed two sites that both displayed icons they'd stolen from me (using my bandwidth to do it).  I recognized quite a few of them.

Everybody should read the comments, too, because there is a ton of new info in them...from YOU, for example...

Too right. I made sure to check out the rest of the links suggested. Didn't have anymore of mine, but I did recognize some.

Xanga needs to be shut down! It's nothing but a nest of icon thieves!

I'm really starting to believe that.

At least 98% of the icon theft cases I have heard of involve Xanga!

Sounds about right. I swear I recognized some usernames over there from past offenses.

Why do I NOT doubt that?

Oh my god, the default Brendon Daily icon (made by sin_fonia is over here at Xanga. I think I recognize some other Brendon Daily members' icons, too. What is the best way to fight back/complain? stop_plagiarism maybe??

For graphics complaints, you can head over to hotlinkers to report them.

My way of fighting back was to replace the icons with image theft icons.
