OK hello everyone!
Graphic thieves really piss me off, take a look at the little canopy dude I designed @ http://www.cyberskydive.com
cool eh?
Well evidently someone thinks so because now look at this website : http://www.medi.avs.net.au/
and its not just on the main page, its on the entire site at the top! Noone ever ASKED to use it, and I'm freakin starving for web design work over here! They dont even offer any form of gratitude anywhere on the site including the "shout outs" page.
I've e-mailed the dude, and I know he's here too, so if your reading this, you know what you can do.
have a nice day everyone! Spread the LOVE!
oh, the dudes name on here is Medster, newbie, 11 post graphc thief.

ya know, i went to that site and saw something that made me wonder...
a pic of a tandem student from Princeton University in New jersey, doing a tandem skydive over Skydive Crosskeys in New Jersey, with a camera flyer working in New jersey, at Xkeys... this is an australian web site. student isnt australian..
figured it was given with permission, but now I wonder...
student prolly submitted the pic, but still. Camera flyer should be mentioned.

The also have a "Forums by Dropzone.com" logo prominently featured on the top of the page. If you click the "Forums" link on the left side navbar, it takes you right into the forums, bypassing the main dz.com page. I don't know if they have HH's permission, but if they are stealing images from other sites then I wouldn't put it past them to piggyback off of the forums.

Yeah....I was the one who found this graphic stealing. I just brought it to attention, but didn't check anything out like that. Pretty sad.

Yeah, that does suck Cyber, but look at it this way- you made a great logo that someone thought was good enough to copy. Be flattered that someone appreciates your creativity!

But wait! There's more:
Their FAQ page appears to be copied verbatim from this page: http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/skydiving/skydiving.html
Their virtual tandem skydive page was ripped (images and all) from Skydive New England: http://skydivenewengland.com/firstjump/tandem/vts01.htm

I got a nice reply from the dude saying SOMEONE ELSE on the forum sent him my graphic to use-lol.
ANyhow he was willing to link back and provide proper credit, or take it down, which is ok with me. (i prolly would have let em have it if they asked-lol)
damn shame.

But officer I bought this HDTV square and fair from a guy on that street corner for $50. I am absolutely innocent!

Lets all send emails to the site regarding our disaproval and demand that they either remove the images or show credit to the image creator. It they wont play fare kick'em till they beg for mercy.
