Anyhow thank you again to IAmbeautifulInside for the proof and discovery.
SUSPECT: Before
- ripping a layout off deviantART and editing it into his own 'layout design'
The deviantART victim is ~eg-graphix, whose layout version can be seen below.
Note the unique designs on it.
Now look at Before's version of it.
Can you see the similarities?
Below is Before's layout overlayed on the original version so you can clearly see the theft.
Can you see the resemblance? The thief simply sliced off the top portion of the layout and edited the copyright at the bottom, as well as edited in navigation.
Here is a conversation between IAmbeautifulInside and Before:
Me: It seems very weird to give away an obviously sliced layout and claim it as yours. o.o You have even edited the copyright.
Him: This is imvu, the copyright is edited so people know my avatar name overall. Also, a portion was taken off as it has my initals on it.
Me: Sure... Can you then explain why your copyright design is different? If you had the PSD it would look the same. Also Jake and Andreas, not really the same. You are from UK, he is from Germany.
Him: As I said, it is a shared account and i didn't make it for me. The copyright isn't much different other than a slight glow. Stop trying to start something.
I'm sure you have something better to do with your life.
Me: LOL.
This isn't the only layout you've stolen. Cut the crap. I can EASILY get a proof of you lying. kthx.
Him: I'm sure you can. Go out and find some proof. I'm sure you have more than enough time to find something that isn't true.
Me: Admit it and be a man. You've been busted and you should be ashamed.
Him: I should be ashamed of no such thing.
All of the so called proof so far is anything but.

Do you not find it sort of sad that you spend your time looking for internet layout thieves?
ReplyDeleteHave you never considered perhaps the person in question also came up with the same layout codes and divs as the "victim". If one person can think of an idea for a code why can't others?
Its a petty thing to concentrate on when there are soo many more worthy causes to focus your minds on.
