He should at -least- have the decency to give credit where its due. @#$%@! Sounds like a real jerk, too. Lycos, or any company for that matter, tends to immediately pull offending material in copywrite disputes... at least if the copywrite in question is owned by another company or organization. Heck, I heard DeviantArt pulled a bunch of fan-fiction and pics down as a precautionary measure and Squaresoft didn't even ask them to. However, with enough complaints, Lycos should probably pull down the site. If it re-appears, explain to Lycos that they should really start checking for duplicate member info (and ensure that emails are valid, etc) before granting sites, especially if they revoke someone's site for TOS violations. I almost hope Hobbit_King steals some work from Wizards of the Coast or another "big gun" RPG maker or famous fantasy cover artist. There's nothing like a threat of a multimillion dollar lawsuit (by someone who has the bucks to follow through) to make a company change its policies.
