was wondering lately i've seen designs that look very similiar to other designs so i was wondering, what is the best thing to do when you catch someone stealing your material/ideas/codes/designs or structures for their own uses or sites?
what if they are using your stuff but credit you? what if they are using your stuff and alter the credits? what if they are using your stuff and remove the credits? **normally i email them or comment on the site and tell them to take it off or i'll talk to their hosting services xD that's the best i got, and if their ashamed of what they did, they put the credits up or completely change everything before next sunrise. some are rude enough to slander & object the claim when clearly the material is stolen. |

If they clearly know the creator of the icon/graphic, then they should acknowledge the creator's effort by giving credit. Just because some people don't give credit and "borrow" others' work doesn't mean you should do the same. Just a matter of courtesy.
