A person has brought to my attention that one of my digital art pieces has been posted by one of your WinCustomize users as their own. Before I post that users info, I wanted to find the proper place to post this info or find out if it is best handled privately with an admin. I joined WinCustomize in order to place a comment on the users page (asking her to remove it) where the image is displayed.
The way it was stolen is quite common. In order to help those who are learning the program, we often post parameter files that they can load to see how the image was created. They are then encouraged to dissect the variables and change them in the learning process. They are also aware that this sharing is for learning purposes only and that they are not allowed to repost an image made with those parameters with out significant changes made so as to create something unrecognizable from the original piece. This person only made a slight color change and crop. The general view, structure and detail are exactly the same. Pure theft.
If someone could inform me of the proper way to get this person to remove the stolen piece, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Hal Tenny
