Graphic Design Contests

So you admit to stealing the image?
That's a crime, for which you can be prosecuted.
It also makes you a hypocrite, see your previous theft accusations in this very topic.


I vote that this artwork thief is banned from the forum. He gives the rest of us a bad name and ruins the contest.

Pardon? You take copyright infringement lightly, eh?

He? I was talking about you. You broke the law, I don't think this forum should be seen to be condoning such behaviour.


Unless of course, you can somehow prove that you're the rightful owner of that image...

Neonimage I like your work but to blatantly use another persons artwork is wrong and you shouldn't have submitted it if it wasn't your own work, I think its the ethics here really and you are good enough without using someone elses work

I am getting frustrated with this contest (like a lot of you are). I am going to make an executive decision to close it. I have made efforts to contact the contest holder without any luck.
ReconmarineUSMC - If you decide to follow through with the contest you started, please PM me and I will reopen this so a winner can be declared. If I do not hear back from you within a week, you will be banned.

**Edit** As far as copyright infringement goes, just dont risk it. You make a bad name for yourself and you lose trust from other people. The reason I did not threaten to ban neonimage, but did threaten to ban ReconmarineUSMC is because neonimage has been a member of this community far longer then Reconmarine, and has contributed a lot more to the forums. I feel he deserves a chance.
EVERYONE - Please read about copyrights in the "how to improve contests" thread.
If you believe you have proof that someone has breached a copyright, please contact me, and that member will be contacted, and warned about future behaviour.
I opened this thread back up for the time being, but please, no one else put in an entry for this contest. You will be wasting your time.
