OP
I&acute;ve taken out a total of 11 that I know are rips - aka that I have seen elsewhere (posted by original artists) <br />The rest are unfamiliar to me, but if original references could be located I&acute;d be more than happy to take out the rest too.

Good idea :-) If I have the time I will do some cleaning tomorrow, feel free to point out obvious rips here if you want!

That link up top takes me to an empty gallery. I assume all the rips are removed and the user has been left with nothing. The skin I see on that page is actually this skin: http://www.skinbase.org/rate.php?skins=8685 which is not related to the user linked to. Site bug I guess. <br /> <br />Better to see a good skin than an empty gallery! ;)

No I did not rip them since I reprocessedf them in an entirely new and unique way, rendering them a background all an original work of mine, and they are indeed my wallpapers.

<i>You´re not up to this responsibility, and the management of Skinbase does best dumping you as soon as possible</i> <br /> <br />Why don&acute;t you email him then? <br />I bet Gregor would love to hear your arguements for my removal of admin rank because I &quot;strangle your artistc freedom&quot; by deleting your rips. <br /> <br />Anyway, any further conversations on this matter can from now on be handled via email/IM - this sharade have gone far enough!

I don&acute;t think you&acute;re able to grasp the concept of what ripping <b>really</b> is. <br /> <br />Ripping: <br />Using other peoples copyright material without permission in whatever form/size/shape - <b>period</b>. <br />It doesnt matter what you do with/to it - <b>period</b> <br />So altering (as you do) images created by others and re-distribute them without permision (as you do) is ripping - <b>period</b>.

OK, since you&acute;re so smart, why don&acute;t you explain to me what ripping is then?

Ripping is a not an official term, but a moralizing one reflecting the values of the speaker, so there can be no lexical consensus, and to insist on using an all biased verbioageto gaine some upperhand in a controiversy is nothing but garrulous and immature. Grow up. (Smart? I happen to a member of High IQ Societies ISI-S and Poetic Genius Society, both reserved for people tested for some best 1 of 200 IQ level,that is, belongimng tgo the smartest 0.5% people.)

aha.... I guess the following site is all BS and just a load of nonsense then -> http://www.copyright.gov/ <br /> <br />The term &acute;ripping&acute; was adopted by the graphics community as a definition of &quot;graphics theft&quot;. <br />The term &acute;ripper&acute; was adopted as a definition of a &quot;graphics thief&quot; <br /> <br />(btw, a high IQ isn&acute;t a definite proof of intelligence.)

Cut the crap, snowball, because it&acute;s all simply just too stupid to be taken seriously. By your definition just about every single one homsite around the world is outlawed for &quot;violation of copyright&quot; by using photographies not taken by themselves; and the Third Reich certainly had laws and rules as well, but that does not imply these laws were justified. <br /> <br />For time being, I have archived absolutely everything of this malicious nonsense by screen dumps. I willl use it imnte future against you, if so I choose. <br /> <br />For time being, I will stay away from this awful place. I have deleted all but one of my wallpapers. More than a few people here just make me vomit, and I will indeed make any single one of the mob pay for it&acute;ts dirt in due time - that is, if things are not rectified. All this is, in a way, trifles. Maybe I will be back in a year or something. But the day may come, when the issue is decided and abjudged by som consensus of a posterity scrutinizing what&acute;s been going around. Toughies today, all aginst one; pants down to morrow; the ordinary fate of sowards complete idiots. Good Night.

..&quot;is outlawed&quot;.. etc... <br /> <br />let&acute;s say a substantial number of them. The obvious point being the crippling effect of these laws or rules on art; on communication; on liberty of &quot;speech; on freedom. Now... zzzzz.

<i>By your definition just about every single one homsite around the world is outlawed for &quot;violation of copyright&quot; by using photographies not taken by themselves</i> <br /> <br />That is not entirely true. Alot of of news-sites does use photos taken by others without a specific permission for every photo. That is only possible due to the &quot;terms of use&quot; defined by each photographer. Thoses terms normal says &quot;use at will if source is mentioned&quot; or something like that. <br /> <br /><i>For time being, I have archived absolutely everything of this malicious nonsense by screen dumps. I willl use it imnte future against you, if so I choose</i> <br /> <br />Use it in anyway you&acute;d like as long as its for legally purposes and within <br /> <br /><i>For time being, I will stay away from this awful place.

You&acute;ve obviously been deprived of sunlight for far too long! <br /> <br />I deal with people like you (rippers) on a daily basis and have learned to not take &quot;threats&quot; like yours seriously - I only see them as pathetic cries for attention.

Bullshit. May I ask: my most popular wallpaper here - that Laetitia Casta picture - did I take that phot of her myself? Did I??? Still it was appointed featurerd wallpaper or something like that. So: you&acute;re flatly incoherent. <br /> <br />And about that clocjkpic by G. G.: how the heck would I know it was his, since he hadn&acute;t signed it? How could I possibly??? I found it in my personal archive. <br /> <br />This is the point: free wallpaper art, open to just anybody, is profoundly democratic, and many talented and happy people use photos, above all &quot;babes&quot; reprocessing threat. Your bad attitude is by implication a threat to all of us. <br /> <br />This is the point: of all these &quot;rippers&quot;, who we see everywhere in &quot;Wallpaper World&quot;, I am unique in even observing this problem, taking great care to process the picture I use beyond recognition, and bestowing it my uniquely personal touch. <br /> <br />This is the point: by using photographic material, taking great care to to respect the rights of the original aythors, a vast new an productive field of artistic is open to just anyone; we are enabled to make entirely new kind of creation, really telling something new. This way art is moved by a profound democratic revolution. <br /> <br />This is the point: ordinary people cannot reasonably be expected to &quot;ask for permissins&quot;, since we have not got these resources for it, in contrast to a tiny circle of established firms. This way, you simply do lackey service to high capital, authority and tyranny, because this is simply what &quot;copyright&quot; is about; strangling artisic freedom and human liverties in general. And you just go on licking the ass of the Rich and the Powerful...! Such an attitude is obviously in conflict withb the general spirit of all Internet. <br /> <br />This is the point: be reasonable, prove good judgment and sense. But you&acute;re just panicking in self defense pursuing an extremisticand outright absurd interpretation of &quot;copyright&quot; in blatant contradiction to your own praxis, as can readily be seen by scrutinizing other wallpapers here having used photographic materialks, and virtually wiping out an artistic genre og expression. <br /> <br />This is the point: no one here contacted me in person, trying to reach an accoimodation, which had been very easy, you just shot from the hip, and witn an initially bad intention. <br /> <br />This is the point: you did not take it easy, looking into that complaint, but fell prey to the malice of a severely disturbed man, proving his true nature of his state by mechanicalloy repeating exactly the same phrase of praise on every single newly wallpaper brought up here; an an obviously strange behavior. <br /> <br />This is the point: by your reckless and suppressive action, you have painted yourself into a corner, and now you go on defending yourself in an obvious state of panic, by just repeating the same insult, lie and false accusation all over and over again: ripper... ripper... ripper... ripper... But I am certainly nothing of the kind, and we all do know it. <br /> <br />This is the point: I did immediately and unhesitatingloy accept what yo reqired of me, that is, not posting any images even suspected to be in conflict wiuth these rules; so, formal point of you, I have behaved impeccably. But you don&acute;t care, you just go on insulting me, flashing your Big Penis to prove and assert yourself. Such behavior is but undignified and immnature. <br /> <br />And again: nether you nor I decide who of us two are the worst villain; other people do; many people do;not now, but in the future. <br /> <br />Still I will not take this controversy out of Skinbase, and I will not, in the future, actualize this conflict. After having made myself perfectly clear, my intention is to leave this turmoil, and let time work to let things settle. You will see no image posting trespasses by me here again; but those made already by other othermembers, may indeed be of concern to t-h-e-m, your lack of judgment an integry proven amply enough This is, however, not my problem. <br /> <br />

That is what is expected of me, as a site-administrator. <br />I will strike hard against any kind of violations and as far as I know, posting the same comment over and over again isn&acute;t breaking any rules. OK, it might be annoying but not against any rules. <br /> <br /><b>MY</b> point is: Obey the rules, written or unwritten or go elsewhere.

I have already told you many times that I will, and proved this by prompt action deleting all but one of my wallpapers; still you just go on repeating this, which is of course in perfectly in accordance with the rules - just blatantly stupid. <br /> <br />And what about these u-w-r-i-t-t-e-n rules...?

About the image &quot;TIME CORNER&quot; , it is photo taken a year ago at my parents&acute; house,, i have witnesses that this is mine, Mr. Kraxpelax.. <br />Secondly, i give comment as a support, and if i wish to speak repetitive language, this is my choice. I hurt no-one, like you do. I neither steel (or say rip) pictures from someone else, and also , why do you use my photos, if you find them inferior, mr. Kraxpelax, don&acute;t attack everyone because what you do is a lack of respect towards other members, i think this site is too good for this issue. These are my last words that i am wasting on this matter.

I do not agree the non respect of Kraxpelax for the work of other people, reworking some pieces without permission of the author. <br />I would like to say explicitely that he will never have my permission to touch any of my submissions here or elsewhere. <br />Today, Mary Qualls ask him to remove his rip submissions, if he don&acute;t do, I suppose that admin can do that by themselve. <br />I know that I&acute;m not concerned by the problem, but I don&acute;t like this way of acting. :sad:

I agree with Srg01 about this totally disrespectful action by Kraxpelax. Art is very personal to the people who create it and nobody has the right to &quot;rework&quot; their creation unless permission is asked and granted.

The two uploads (plus a few others from him) in question has been removed <br /> <br />Using other peoples work without a written and specific permission is <b>not</b> tolerated and will be removed without prior notice even and especially if one uses copyrighted pictures of adult nature, mr kraxpelax seem to be an expert on that area.

I see people are insulting me here, showing their open and entirely unprovoked hostility. <br /> <br />I have made the reply it deserves. <br />¨ <br />I responded to that e-mail by snowman. I sent it with about 200 copies to influential addresses aroiund the world, so they should know what&acute;s goin on here. <br /> <br />My reply runs like this: <br /> <br />&quot;First, this is completely untrue. <br /> <br />I do image processing, that is, I use images collected from the web, change them, moderate them, mix them and and reshape them till it&acute;s perfectly clear I have bestowed the my persmnal and absolöutely unique quality. <br /> <br />Secondly, this is nothging but a shameful insult. I see lots of plagiats on the wallpaper sites all around the web, and nobody cares aboutit the slightest; I have in kore than one instance pointed out the most shameless and ovious . What it&acute;s all about is you perfid hoistility against me as an o-r-i-go-n-a-l seeking new methods and new modes of expression. Those imitators, dilletantes and plagiarizers swamping wall paper world with their juvenile trash feel threatened by competition, and they endeavor to stop me and strangle me at all cost. That &quot;copyright&quot; bullshit is nothing but a sham, a fake, a sirty trick and a subterfuge to murder me existentially as an artist. <br /> <br />Thirdly it&acute;s outright perverse. Among artists counting, there does exist an intercommunication and a mutual exchange of influences. This is the very spirit of art. Untalented people belonging to a stifled and arid conservative styl of repetition, imitation, and indeed plagiarism, cannot handle this, and such is the Banality Of Evil, that they do not shy away from anything to stop genuine talent. Acoordingly, any wallpaper site is just swamped down with &quot;works&quot; that are, nothing but imitatrion and repetition, and indeede plagiarism. This is the way to stay along with the stupid, and the mean. <br /> <br />Fourthly it&acute;s absurd, since absolutely any work using materials found in other pictures virtuaölly makes any fuigurative work &quot;violation of copyright&quot;. Consequently, you are endeavoring, NOT to protect any art of personal quality and uniqueness, but, contrarily, make art in essence impossible, wiping out a whole genre. This is Sovietism, tyranny and dictatorship, and must in the end be fought down using revolutionary methods. <br /> <br />Fifthly, I will not cave in to poisonous threats like this. My works are aölready out in thousands all over the world; any person knowledgeable abourt wallpaper art know me as the absolutu opposit of a plagiarizer: an independendet, pioneerin and genuinely original artist. It&acute;s within my power to make myself known, and toascertain the survival of mmy art. <br /> <br />I have made art for 25 years as a poet and a image artuist, and as a pathfinder, I have coinsistently encountered the vicious hostility of the Establishment, sopping me, smotrheringe me, murdering me existentially; because such is indeed the Banality Of Evil. <br /> <br />To bereave an artist of his possibility of expression is murder, sapiritual murder, existentially murder. You are, coonsequently and in essence, threatening me to my life, and I have the right to defend myself. And you are not alone; the Establishment, the multitude of it, has been trying to murder me for all my life. Iwill not, I repeat, Iwill NOT allow this to happen. <br /> <br />Now let&acute;s make a thought experiment. Suppose I start out a new career as a terrorist, as a serial killer, or whatever. If I finally get caught, all will learn about it, and my pictures and poems, readily avilable on uncountable sites around the world web, will be the flash of the days and downloaded by hundred and thousands. It wiuld be the ultimate self marketing. You just consider this this thought as a principle shedding it&acute;s most telling sidelight on this dirty artkilling project of yours. <br /> <br />Finally, I strongly urge you NOT showing agaionst me an entirely unprovoked hostiliy agains me like this again, because if you do, I can assure you, you will be guaranteed <br /> <br />to bleed. <br /> <br />For the future, I will take great care only using image materials in a fragmented form, so that no one may reasonably make such a false accusation against me again . <br /> <br />Peter Ingestad <br />Solna <br />Sweden <br /> <br />--- <br /> <br />http://www.hebus.com/membre-21968----.html <br />http://www.hebus.com/membre-19104----.html <br />http://www.wallpaperbase.com/author/Kraxpelax <br />http://www.fond-ecran-photo.com/Galeries%20Membres/fond-ecran-Kraxpelax.htm <br />http://www.themindseyes.com/?gallery=Kraxpelax&amp;free=1 <br />http://www.skinbase.org/gallery.php?uname=Kraxpelax <br />http://www.desktopia.com/wallpapers/Computer_Art/Posterized_Art <br />http://www.wpgallery.com/eng/ab1 <br /> <br />http://www.nevermind.nu/ <br /> <br />Faites les donations &#224; Kraxpelax: <br />BIC (SWIFT-adress) NDEASESS <br />IBAN SE3630000000032562136748 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />>From: &quot;Snowman&quot; <snowman@skinventory.dk> <br />>To: <luzgannon@hotmail.com> <br />>Subject: Skinbase notification <br />>Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2005 20:12:51 +0200 <br />>MIME-Version: 1.0 <br />>Received: from csmtp.b-one.net ([195.47.247.21]) by mc11-f33.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.211); Wed, 20 Jul 2005 11:13:21 -0700 <br />>Received: from snowbox (0x5358a5d2.vgnxx3.adsl-dhcp.tele.dk [83.88.165.210])by csmtp.b-one.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 129B51A007998for <luzgannon@hotmail.com>; Wed, 20 Jul 2005 20:12:50 +0200 (CEST) <br />>X-Message-Info: JGTYoYF78jEz/ZqFPy76YLg6lO+Qa5Rj92XHelx8gIM= <br />>X-MSMail-Priority: Normal <br />>X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) <br />>X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180 <br />>Return-Path: snowman@skinventory.dk <br />>X-OriginalArrivalTime: 20 Jul 2005 18:13:21.0663 (UTC) FILETIME=[B663E0F0:01C58D56] <br />> <br />>Dear Mr Peter Ingestad <br />> <br />>As an admin at Skinbase.org, one of my duty to ensure that the copyright of <br />>any given artist(s) isn&acute;t violated in any way and for the second time within <br />>a short period of time I have been made aware that you have submitted <br />>wallpapers which in fact was originally created by someone else. <br />>This would&acute;t have been a problem if you in fact had optained and included a <br />>written permission from the original author(s), which you hadn&acute;t, therefore <br />>the submissions have been deleted. <br />> <br />>Please refrain from further uploading of material which you haven&acute;t created <br />>yourself - unless you have a permission from the original artist(s). <br />> <br />>Any further violations will result in all your uploads being removed. <br />>Subsequent violations will result in your account being deleted. <br />> <br />>Sincerely yours <br />> <br />>Morten Norup <br />>aka Snowman <br />> <br />>Admin at Skinbase.org <br />>&quot; <br /> <br />

&quot; I think that it is a provocation from kraxpelax and I suppose that admins won´t like that ... &quot; <br /> <br />Says mr. srg01; himself, he is capable of nothing but imitation and repetition. Devoid of talent, he is himself nothing but a plagiarizser, a fake and a dilletante. His own works should refused for miserable quality alone. But this is the pest of wallpaper land: all these teenagers swamping it with their juvemile trash using thousand dollars softwares, and since they cannot compete on their own, they stoop to censoring, and throwing dirt on other people. It&acute;s nothing but a shame. <br /> <br />Now, that iclock image? I just saw it un my own collection, and made a rather casual and bad wallpaper ofit. No loss it was deleted. IO was completely unaware G. G. had made it. <br /> <br />But for this posionous little dirdbag sgr01, it&acute;s a &quot; provocation. I suggest the little girl just gets out of here and stays with her over-protective mummy for the future. <br /> <br />I don&acute;t want to see filth like this here again.

Maybe I should tell something about what&acute;s really behind this sh*t. <br /> <br />There is a French campaign against me. This hostile campaign has been goiung on for some time, and it is completely and entirely undprovoked. <br /> <br />This is it. I have been submitting wallpapers fo several months to the French Hebuse site. Many has been refused, but I don&acute;t complain, since many has been accepted as well. <br /> <br />My wallpapers at hebus can be seen under the member names of Ataroipe and Kraxpelax. <br /> <br />As can readily be seen, they have been very succesful. Quite a lot of them . nearly all in the populare &quot;Babes&quot; genre - has had more than 1000 views. The most popular one of trhem, a Laetita Casta wallpaper, is bt now close to 7 000 views. <br /> <br />Then all of a sudden, that Hebus site started refusing all my wallpapers - for no reason at all. They turned every single one of them - maybe they wer 12, maybe 15 - and I had said nothing, done nothing, to warrant such a sudden and inexplicable hostility. The Hebus moderator suddenly decided to kille my works. It had nothing to do with bad quality, since the images in question were far superior to many an earlier one I had had accepted while still technically rather amateurish; and simultaneously, I saw not only many wallpapers of outright miserable quality, but one or two cases of ovious plagiarism as well. <br /> <br />So I went furious; and here we see that completely unprovoked campaign agains me personally, for no reason at all, going on at another site. <br /> <br />Wallpaper land should be free: talents and dilettantess side by side, live and let live. <br /> <br />But some dark power cenre in France didn&acute;t want it that way. They didn&acute;t want paceful competition. They wanted war. They wanted me out of the way. They decided to kill me. For no reason at all. <br /> <br />What you see here is nothing but my perfectly justified self defense. Because I did NOT pick this quarrel. <br /> <br />Those sinisters Frenchmen did, and now we see them posiniong Skinbase too. <br /> <br />If they just had left me alone in the firstplace, allowing me existing alonf with others, on perfectly equal condotions, nothing would have happened, I would have had no cause for complaint. <br /> <br />I most strongly urge these perfids to LEAVE ME ALONE, so we all may get back to normal business, forgetting this horrible mess. <br /> <br />

Mr Ingestad, <br /> <br />Nobody insult you, but you are very offensive, we just want you to respect some rules. <br />You dislike my works, it&acute;s your right. <br />Yes, I&acute;m influenced by some artists, here at Skinbase there is Adni18, Kavel and some others. My work is like their works because I love what they do, and they do it with more talent than me, that&acute;s sure ... <br />An other thing is sure : you have a problem in your head, reread your posts, it&acute;s upsetting. You speak about war, everybody here want peace, and I think we get it when your account has been deleted. <br />I can reassure you, there is no French campaign over you, only a dozen knows you. <br />A last thing, a citation of a member of DA : <br />&quot;Ce n&acute;est pas parce que tu te sens incompris que tu es un artiste&quot;. <br /> <br />Yours

Srg <br /> <br />I didn&acute;t pic a quarrel. You did. You CHOSE to start the communication up by insult, insinuation, aggression and a bad intent: &quot;I think Kraxpelax intended a provocation&quot;. And don&acute;t accuse me of violating any rules, because I have nothing of the kind; and for the future I will take great care not evening running the risk of it.. <br /> <br /> For your own good, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, and I will not bother you again.

Mr Ingestad, if any one started all this it was you. You&acute;re the one uploading the rips.

No I&acute;m not, since I have not &quot;ripped&quot; any single image in a meaningful sense; in contrast to some members here, I am not a plagiarizer. What rules here I may have violated is an entirely different matter, since those rules are in themselves stupid and undignified. <br /> <br />Still, those rules do hold, and I will accept them; I will for the future stick to the rules here, since I have no reason whatever to keep a coonflict going on. <br /> <br />And now to the context; you miss the point entirely. You see, what I was referring to HERE was not &quot;starting it ALL &quot; up, but, specifically, the one-to-one discussion between me and srg01, which HE started up by a vicious interpretation of my motives. A fair person would have considered the possibility I simply made a mistake; but he wanted conflict, not solution. What about you.
