^I already reported it to the dA boards. What really annoys the heck out of me is this text that he put up there: "The original visual styles are Microsoft Corporation from my windows xp os cd. I am just try to new look." He had a different text up there before, stating that the visual style was from him. I can even see that he has hidden my comment.

And he blocked me after I told him that I reported him. dA needs moderation urgently.

Yeah, I can't comment anymore either after I commented 2 times. He knows he's wrong that's why he blocks certain people. The deviation has been reported by a few people all ready so I think it will be taken down in the next couple of days.

Sorry for no response. Grab my updated winamp skin here

No problem and great work on the winamp skin! :D Will you be making a 5.1 Blue version as well?

I've found some bugs in the skin. The Medialibrary isn't updated and the Shuffle buttons etc aren't looking like the LE buttons either.

@bizarresk: He has disabled all comments. He knows that he's wrong by ripping it. Let's just hope that the dA boards will take actions soon.

I've been a member here for quite a while, but have made very few comments... I'm more the type that enjoys looking, reading, and smiling. However, in this case I just couldn't refrain from adding my two cents. The last comment that ~sagorpirbd makes is:

"~sagorpirbd 21 hours 44 minutes ago

'This is not Tornado5's deviation this is from Microsoft corp. I found this visual styles from my os cd. there is a other name by microsoft corp.'"

I think that he is pointing out a legal issue (in an indirect way, in broken English). If you open up any of the Luna Element "msstyles" files in, for example, Resource Hacker, and look at the last entry, which is "Version Info - 1 - 1033", you will find that the style is copywritten by Microsoft.

Now, I respect any themer's or site's wishes for people not to post unauthorized mods or rips. However, I do this out of respect for the themer, and the fact that I rather not lose the valuable services that sites like Neowin and deviantART offer me. But, as far as I can tell, ~sagorpirbd has every "legal" right to submit the style he has.

Like I said... Just my two cents.

No he doesn't have all the rights for it. It's all be discussed in this thread several times. The person that ripped tornado5 DID NOT make the theme and DID NOT make the graphics. The only reason why the MS things are in there is because the skin is build upon Luna. If you look in other visual styles you'll see that they all have it. Does that really mean that people can just rip other people their art, only because of that?

Don't get me wrong. I'm all for "honoring" the artist's wishes. What I'm saying is that

~sagorpirbd has every "legal" right to do what he "supposedly" did. And yes, if an artist

does not "legally" identify a piece of work as his own, he leaves it open to others to take

advantage of his hard work. If he or she wished to, it would be very simple for a themer

to "attempt" to copywrite his or her part of an msstyle by adding the appropriate entry in

the msstyle file. However, I think that there are legal issues which prevent themers from

doing this.

Once again, I respect, and always will respect Tornado5 and other themers' requests.

^I only pointed out why the ripper didn't had those rights ;) If you open up the file with Stylebuilder you'll actually see that EM3 aka tornado5 is the "author" of the theme. So that's enough proof that the ripped doesn't have the "legal" right to modify the theme ;)

Oh yes, i dont use the Medialib so ive forgotten to skin it ;) About the Shuffle buttons. I tried the original one from the .mystyles but i was not happy with it. In my opinion the current match better to the Winamp Skin.

If i find some time i will fix the Medialib thing.

It was even noticeable without applying the skin. I don't even know why the ripped keeps the ripped skin online after all those comments that where given..

@Han_Solo: Then I'll change the shuffle buttons etc for personal use when I'm going to use the Winamp skin :)

^I don't have Vista and I'm not planning on installing it anytime soon. And making MSStyles is pretty hard since it's all resource hacking. The ripped is lame by reporting people that say that he's a ripped. He wont achieve anything by doing that.

      Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.
    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
