The German incident

Die Cowboys von der Goldenfifty Homepage hatten einen Teil meiner Arbeit (Grafiken, Fotos und Text) für fast zwei Jahre auf deren hausgemachten Webseite. Als ich den Diebstahl entdeckte, sandte ich den Fifties eine Email mit der Bitte, dass sie meine Arbeit unverzüglich entfernen. Darauf hin erhielt ich eine Email von einem Peter Becker: Wir betreiben keine gewerbliche HP, sondern sind lediglich normale Chatter eines Channels, ist ihre Reaktion nicht etwas überzogen wegen der Bilder?

Ich musste ihm dann, wie man es mit kleinen Kindern tut, erklären, dass es eine Menge Geld und Zeit kostet um Webseiten herzustellen. Dass es zum guten Ton gehört, dass man fragt bevor man sich bedient, und dass ich mir nicht erlauben kann, dass jede hausgemachte Webseite meine Arbeit veröffentlicht.

Zur Zeit haben die Fifties eine ellenlange Erklärung auf der Homepage weshalb deren Seite ausser Betrieb ist. Das Interessante dabei ist, dass nun ich, die Geschädigte, dafür verantwortlich gemacht werde, dass deren Webseite down ist... What ever!

The untalented

Some untalented loser with no manners took an entire page of content from the Christmas Magazine without asking and publishes it on his own web site. He actually directly linked to images on my server. Basically he stole my illustrations, instructions, and bandwidth. So I decided to re-name all images and swap one with the one you see below. I wonder how long it takes him until he notices it.

Here is his crappy web site: Ron Knoll & Associates, and the page in question.
