i posted this on his virtual customs site in the thread about 'his' poison theme:

wow. you're a real dickhead. stealing (yes, the word is 'stealing' not 'steeling' like you've used on other sites) work done by others and then passing it off as yours take courage or loads of ignorance. i'm betting it's loads of ignorance in your case. you must have spent almost ten minutes adding the word 'poison' to vstyler's graphics. when you grow up and actually create a theme of your own that someone else mods and tries to pass it off as his, you'll understand how it feels to be ripped. judging your other work here, it's obvious you have yet to reach that point, though. the ONLY quality skin listed here as yours is the VENOM rip. congrats on being a complete douchbag, mrgrim.

i'm sure i'll be banned shortly

I left a policy violation report for the guys at Devart.

They tend to be slow...but they are effective.

I expect he will be removed from their site.

As to his own site....that's probably a case for peeps who are into IP tracing....and having his ISP pull his account.

If  MrGRiM01 happens past this thread at any time....specific precedent exists in Australia for him to suffer commercial/financial restitution [vStyler WILL win, this is not in question].

It's specifically the role of the IP owner whose works are stolen or used without consent to forward the appropriate DMCA, after which options are open for litigation.

Sadly it's the nature of the [Internet] beast that idiots will populate it.

I see that scum sucker's name is Mark.

He's nothing but a low-life for bringing such a noble name down with disrepute and stealing other folks work.

More power to you, Jafo. That GRiM idiot needs a "Bebi Treatment".

He probably pirated your name. Mark my words...oops... Please note: Shakespeare was correct. A smuck like him would equally ill grace any name.

they're slowly turning on the guy. here's a post left on his personal site by xkaix:

I don't know what to say.. I have followed your work Mr Grim and thought highly of you.. But after seeing this puts a big dint In what I thought of you to be honest.. I see you have disabled the comments to your theme on DevianArt.. Is that due to this theme not belonging to you? As stated above you have just changed afew things and called It poison and called It your own..

Wrong thing to do man.. Better yet you are charging people for something that Isn't yours? If you want to take someone elses design and call It your own, Atleast have the decentcy to not take credit for it and better still make yourself money from It.. The design Isn't yours therefore It's so wrong you have put It up for sale.. And haven't even gave the real designer VStyler the credits for it.. You win this showdown and It's wrong.. After the others atleast made there design themselfs.. Dissapointed

The heat is on! everyone!

Oh...and this sergiogracia guy has now threatened to ban everyone from posting on his site for spam of all things.

on Sep 25, 2010

I know just where he needs some Spam...still in the can...so to speak.

How about a crate, GRiM?

Just posted again on grimmy's site...

"As long as stolen work exist here we will continue to post here and make people aware of this theft. Threatening to ban honest people from here is cowardly. You would be better off distancing yourself from this person if you wish to retain and dignity or respect for your group. Otherwise your group will be branded as a haven for thieves and I don't think that's what you want. Your call."

And his "co-founder" avatar has disappeared as well.

Same here. Posted on their Group Site. Let's see if the cowards try to get us banned at dA.

If they succeed, that'll just prove it isn't a place to grace with one's presence/art.

Anybody notice the user name this guy put on his start menu?

on Sep 25, 2010

what a swell bunch of folks you all are

He just left me this message on DA:

 

paid me a visit too.... link... 

apparently it's ok to rip if someone's else has done it to you....and we should all get over it...

on Sep 25, 2010

The guy is a douche for sure...but he does have good taste.

 As for all the "work" this clown put into counterfeiting Venom: ( the most polite term I can think of)

Let's say someone spent months getting the paper, ink and plates "just right."  Hundreds of man hours invested just on the engraving.  I don't think the treasury department would think it is ok for that person to print their own money based on the amount of effort expended.

Reproducing works of art on display in the Louvre to sell as your own work, design or concept is still forgery, even if you buy all your own paint and canvas and do all the painting yourself.

Saying "other people do it too" won't keep you out of jail in either case.

Saying "other people steal my work all the time" won't keep Jafo off his ass either. ( A fate that may actually be worse than jail.)
