These threads usually end up with nothing resolved, sadly. It's very frustrating; I don't know if any of my stuff has been nabbed, but then I don't use the Gallery or other very public mediums -- most of the stuff I do is either for fun or for illustration in game documentation. It seems to me that a potential solution might be for a coalition of artists to assemble as an official group/organization, get a lawyer, and go after these little guys. That could spread the legal costs around enough that it just might work. Erik "Kep"
