that is unforgivable. Period. People like this are the reason for me cluttering my HD with psd files, because the idea of someone stealing an image (which has happened before) turns my stomach. So he stole a professional's image, but that pro should be treated like anyone else here, he is simply not here to defend his point. Someone stealing your stereo, that sucks, but whatever, you buy a new one, but the theft of intellectual property...that is an entirely different thing in my eyes, and I can't help but question somebody's foundations for doing so...what sort of person are they?

How would you feel if he stole one of your images but you were unable to defend your stance for whatever reason? Would he come forward and fess up in that case if you couldn't prove it? I doubt it, he had to be caught. This person is not your friend, he has no respect for you or the images you make, he has no respect for the passion we all share, and he may say otherwise, but his actions prove he does not. Entering a photomanip in a drawing contest was real low, and at that point I would just ignore the user and suggest he be banned from entering contests, but after this point, with outright theft, I see no choice but to toss this user to the curb.

an ironic handle for a member with no shame...

PS. Sorry for jacking your thread Force...I know how it feels.
