Quote - It is not uncommon for an artist filing an infringement claim to make a statement to the customers of the product in question. SteffyZ did the same thing when ByteMeOK's textures were in question. His original post did not appear to be meant for inciting anything, just a notification that people may have gotten ripped off.
I didn't see what was posted and haven't read that thread. Also, I wasn't here during the SteffyZ situation, but I do know that both turned into 3 ring circuses, resulting in hurt feelings, marred reputations and people leaving.
This is a classic example of why I feel that any copyright accusations/claims should be dealt with in a professional manner and handled off of the boards in private between the parties involved and the store administration.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
