Hi All.. as you all know I run OMNI 3D. I spend hours searching down new and old poser resources for everyone to have a quick reference to download sites you might not find quickly at the forums. I do this because I enjoy poser and wanted to give something back that really would help people and since my bookmarks are filled with links i figured to share them. Anyway.. Recently while reviewing sites that link to Omni or the recently defunct Anase (which will return soon) i found a link to a site with more links... cool i thought until i really LOOKED at the page. It was very familiar.. extremely familiar.. Of course upon closer examination I realized this page was mine.. the setup and HTML coding was mine. as well as the text and links which represent about 400 hours surfing and research. This page is taken from my OMNI 3D site all the person did was take the html i wrote and added his navigation and header and footer and a background. Still the table setup and links and comments are mine. I wrote the person and asked him to either remove it or give me credit.. to date he has done neither though he wrote to say he was very sorry and would add credit to me.. he hasn't still.. I have researched it on the net and found out that it is still my work regardless of what is added to it since the basic coding of the page hasn't changed. I have tried to reason with the owner of the site but he feels it is not theft.. i am getting really tired of having to fight for my rights on my work.. Compare.. his page : http://roughkut.com/poser4-1.html and my page http://poserunderground.virtualave.net/poser/posds.html
