[quote=Dmitri]Copying is actually a very serious issue. If you do it in the real world, you'll get a lawsuit filed against you. If you do it at a university, you'll get kicked out and you wont be able to apply to another one. Unless of course if you live in China since they dont give a crap about copying (and they do it all the time) Peebok shoes! it's better than reebok. Yamakawa - Why buy from Yamaha when you can get it cheaper at Yamakawa! etc etc[/quote] Are you Chinese to make that comment? Some Chinese people may get offended from that. I'm not Chinese but it looks like a big assumption. You're in for a surprise. Your wish has just been granted! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=1434sweet Do you need more shop sales?

There's nothing wrong with stating the truth lol

Coding takes time. Lots of it. I have personally seen 5-8 people be frozen because they refused to take down coding that did not belong to them and when it is a mall that it belongs to, a lot of times before I would hear about it several members have reported the person already and there isn't much of a chance to ask them to remove it. The lesson is be very glad she didn't just hit the report button. That could have cost you the account you play on because stealing code can get you put on ice fast. I'm glad you are sorry and have said as much to the person. I know doing those pages can cost hours of time and your eyesight so saying your sorry will go a long way to heal the situation.

I was doing about 3 hours of coding last night and woke up today with a splitting migraine... coincidence? I think not..

I'm going to throw my two cents in just for fun. :D Dmitri and I share code and art stealer NMs pretty frequently, and occasionally I'll receive NMs from other mallers or Neopians if someone has used code or art I've built without permission. I'm always very thankful for the information, it's super thoughtful when someone else is looking out for your time, talent or $$ bandwidth. There was only one occasion when I NM'd a borrower to remove the code that they became really upset and behaved childishly - however, they were also 12. For the most part, if you find someone has taken liberties with your code or art a simple NM to them explaining that they don't have permission to use your work gets results. I've also found that the Artwork FAQ on my pet's page helps too, I'll direct people to this page in the same NM about borrowing work: http://www.neopets.com/~myalbum Sadly, the link is no longer active with a great screenie of a TNT response on the boards to stealing code, but the questions from the Neopian Times still do the trick. cornstarch876 is a nice guy, he's malled with Roo before and is really into his shop, I have to appreciate that, and think that even a mistake like this made public will be overlooked since his apology was sincere. I think everyone makes the same mistakes about borrowing code when they first get started and am glad to see that he and Coco were able to work things out. In terms of posting the message here, it stings when you are on the other side of the messages, but Dmitri has created an excellent forum for people to have open discussions and I'm super appreciative of that. Plus, I'm with Dmitri 100% on copywrite, it's the law. Neopets might just be a game, but it's just good practice to ADD VALUE and create original content no matter the venue.

People always copy my advertisement from the Ahop Ads Board. Sometimes, they copy my stock when they see I'm doing good. I don't care if they follow me in my stock and such, but it bugs me when they take my advertisements and mess around. I once had someone steal my table of Scratchcard prizes and just edit the colours. I flipped on him, and he was never even frozen after I reported him and warned him and etc. He then reported me for harassment, for which I got a warning and eventual suspension. I still wonder if he had anything to do with me getting frozen ... ________________________________ Are you feeling lucky? Click Here!
