*This page, added on October 28th,
2003, is a result of...the recent "theft" of one of my
tutorials. This encompassed copying,
posting/emailing the entire tutorial including
backgrounds, graphics, and Bravenet banner.
The Yahoo Group
owner/moderator also posted many of
my own finished examples of my
tutorials. The response from that person was:
"if it's on the web, it's up for
grabs".
I've seen so many
wonderful artists have their work stolen &
shared ,without a second thought regarding
their time, talent, or "terms of
use" . Many times this
resulted in their decision to close
their sites, which is definitely
understandable, but also such a huge
loss to the entire PSP community.
Below are
Informational Links for
anyone who thinks that everything
posted on the world wide web is "up
for grabs", free to copy, rewrite, add
their name to, or to take the credit for
the hard work, ideas, and the imagination
of the original artist.*
