do these layouts look familar? (they do, they're from createBlog made by designers from cb - roxanne, trish, dorischu, madame c, fishcake-y, avalon. and alot more if you actually look.) are they allowed to do this?
they replaced

with

and posted it on their site without asking permission from the maker. isn't that considered jocking?

I believe it is. I even saw two of my layouts. WTF? Low-life bums.

That site has previously jocked some of our other layouts.


Seems like contacting them directly won't work anymore...
maybe find their hosting site and report them?

Guys you can't really do anything about these sites, there are tons of them

There isn't anything we can do about it. Sure if this was a naive little world where all the bad people would go to jail and/or get punished for whatever they did, sure they'd be busted. But it isn't. its simply a thing that happens when you put things on the internet. People jock. People steal. People do pathetic things that they shouldn't do but they still do it. Sucks, yes, but its eLife.

cB should introduce a watermarking program.

all main photos of a layout are watermarked, so the source can be traced to a specific account. That account's IP can then be blocked.

either that, or put in easter eggs.

Actually, this exact site has been doing this for a long time. It's even been brought up several times backstage. I believe we've tried contacting them and whatnot, but all their information is fake. =\

We'll see if we can DO something this time, maybe..
