Resources stolen from GGZ

[Alex]

Here is the email i received from GGZ webmaster.
As you know i am no more directly involved with Complete Resources, so delete them and act as needed against thieves.

Alex

***********************************

Here is a list of all the resources we have found, so far.  What is very sad, indeed, is that with the exception of two of them, the sets that we found were stripped of the artists' names, and the person(s) who posted them, in some cases, claimed them as their own works.  None of these, including the ones with the signatures, are permitted to be posted on your website, as you are well aware.  These sets were stolen, without a doubt.  The removal of an artist's signature from his/her original work is out and out theft, copyright infringement, plagiarism ... call it what you will.  And I have no doubt you will remove them without hesitation and admonish those people who sought to take them.
 
I would hope there is no argument regarding this issue as, in the past, you have always respect our copyright and the copyrights of our artists.
 
I have obtained the url locations of the sets/files, have added the name of the GGZ artist next to each and at the far right at the end of each, the name of the poster.

As you can see, the pokemon sets stolen by Shun de Virgem even state not to steal them.  He's taken syxtem's beautiful work and removed the signature and claimed them as his own.  This entire thing is abominable, to say the least.  I can't tell you how angry it makes me to see this.  Your website has become an epicentre for this type of practice.  It is not a good one.
 
I look to receive your confirmation that all of these sets are removed immediately and there is a message posted regarding the taking of resources from the GGZ website artists, and any other artists for which there is no permission to do so.  I'm sure there are a lot more there, not just GGZ resources.  I also look to receive your confirmation that the thieves will be punished accordingly.
 
Thank you for your prompt attention and cooperation.

They have all been cleared, and I don't know why the links still work.

[Alex]

All seems ok, the links don't work for me.
Maybe you had them in cache?

[MrMister]

Chaindog is a big contributer at GGZ, though, did he steal them or did he add them there first?

as you can see these are all great works.

Maybe it was not meant to steal maybe it was, but they just want them out., it's only fair.

[GhostClown]

All cleared!

[Alex]

Another piece from a wishmoo's mail:


One of the "Authors" who claims these works and who seems, so far, to be the worst perpetrator of copyright infringement is: BlackMagePlujo
Among some of the stolen graphics are those belonging to Artemis Bane (aka The Cold Mage); Chaindog; GraySapphire.


Go and check, plz.

[GhostClown]

Ok, BlackmagePlujo's name has been cleared out, nothing left.

Should have been deleted awhile ago..

[GhostClown]

Hm, This is a kick, but about those, before I said they were ok because  he credited the aurthor, But I may have to delete them unless he gets an 'ok' from Shear destiny him/her self.
