Okay, So, I've been searching around websites, and looking and searching through some stuff, and I've noticed that ALOT of people are mad at Ultimatemyspace.com

And they should, Ultimatemyspace has stolen MANY of the layouts from createblog designers. And the Ironic thing is, they add their own links to the div codes.

See if they've stolen your creation.

Whaaaat the craaap. They've got some of mine.

Is there anything cb can do about this... since they're obviously stealing stuff?

Hm.. I dont know.. We could ask thousands of cBers to spam the site But, that would be really immature.

Hahaah that's not a bad idea.

SPAMSPAMSPAMFLAMEFLAMEFLAME.

Fun.

Usually when this sort of thing happens, an Admin will email/message the owner of the site and try and get them to remove it.

^and it usually doesn't work. Because they more than likely don't care because all the layouts have the links back to the creator on createblog


I've worked for people that own those types of sites before, they don't care. They usually buy those layouts from other people anyway. Even some of them even know Jusun, so I mean that just gives them all the more reason why they wouldn't want to take them off.

Heyyo!

Since I'm sure the guys over at the Resource Center would be most concerned...
Moved to Designers' Cafe

^Actually it would have fit more in feedback since thats were most of these topics are moved and made at.

Sure, that would work too.

I'll just let Angeline decide where she wants it.

They have a couple of mine...

Moved to Feedback

haha they have some of mine

LOL. Its pretty pathetic

btw, has anyone noticed that if you say pronounce Jusuns name in cantonese, it sounds like goodmorning How random was that.

are you kidding me! WTF

Haha, this is hilraious, they didnt even install one of the codes right.

^Exactly.


I seriously use to look at these things as such a serious matter. On how it was completely rude that they would do something like that. But I mean come on their pretty much doing the designers a favor.


Although on this site they did remove the createblog link. I guess it isn't to big of a problem for me since I always leave links in the codes that places a link in the top left corner back to my own myspace.

^ How is stealing a design without permission doing the designer a favor? Unlike here, the original designers at the site arent getting any credit for their work.

Their leaving a link to you just like createblog is doing. I mean come on its the internet. Oh and don't say unlike the "original" designers. that really makes you come off a little eh and makes it sound like I'm not a "original" designer.

Once you post your stuff on this site. Its up in the air anyone can take it and alter your work and put credit links on it to themselves. If your going to get all worked up over it then you don't need to put your stuff on the internet. There is no way your ever going to stop little petty problems like these.

Ahhh sorry about that, I didnt realize they were leaving a link.

Whaaat? I didnt mean it like that. I meant the person who created each layout that "Ultimate Myspace" has taken from here. I wasnt referring to you or anyone else.

I understand that... I'm just assuming that the layouts here are copywrited, and not to be redistributed without permission. I could care less if someone takes MY designs... they're all crap I submitted over a year ago. But some people spend alot of time creating the layouts they submit here. And how am I getting all worked up? I'm just concerned like anyone else would be.

Holly, I do agree with you, it is kinda like ultimatemyspace is promoting cB, but I also agree with kimmytree. Taking layouts without persmission, and displaying them as though you've made them is redistributing right?

^ Is Ultimate Myspace leaving any type of link to cb?

But yeah, that's exactly what it is.

Unless you own copyrights to all the work featured in a layout there isn't much you can really do about it. Quite frankly, most images used in layouts don't belong to the creator of the layout. I realize that it's can be frustrating in the cases in which some sites take someone's layout that they have worked hard on and don't bother to give credit to the creator but the internet is vast, as we all know, and it happens, unfortunately.

^ So createblog doesnt "own" the material that users submit, then?

I see my Another Side(DIV) Haha, the only site that messed with the original links and didn't give credit back to the original designers was some site using them for Friendster.com Gah, I hate that site, to this day.
