lol, I'm laughing a bit reading this thread since a lot of folks seem to just think c-pr0mpt is whining and has never been ripped or if he has its just people who took a quick glance at his work and were inspired to create.

I can personally say I have reported sites to corey which contained complete rips of yaxay as well as one site which had a complete styleset of yaxay in a zip file for download as well as the buttons.

Perhaps some folks are easy to pass it off as nothing, but like it or not yaxay is considered one of the best looking vBs by many people (myself included) and its that way because c-pr0mpt spent a lot of time on it. It's a shame to see it just blatently stolen and passed around and even more a shame to see people saying that its just fine to do so.

I'm kinda wandering from the original point of posting this which was to point out a couple things to Mathiau. Though I get the gist of what you are trying to say I have heard that argument a million times before and would like to respectfully disagree. Millions of people have written poems but that doesnt make my work any less original, it should be the same for art. And I would hate to think that some cat could just come along and change boat to sailboat and claim it as theirs.
