Know of anyone or a site that is stealing wallpapers and claiming them as their own? Post them here!
some1 told me that animewallpapers has been stealing pics. but this german site has been stealing for animewallpapers.
The way that animewallpapers works is that people submit wallpapers do us. We do not actually go out and find a wallpaper and put it up. Because of that, we dont always know if someone is lying about making a particular wallpaper or not. Whenever someone has posted a complaint of theft on this forum, I immediately go and change the info or delete the wallpaper from our site.
When you post a complaint about a website, please include a URL. Do you know how many german websites there are??
So is this just for wallpaper theft and not image theft in general? And should it be confined to AW.com/people submitting things here? I read your post and I'm not quite certain =P If it's just general theft I could go on for hours...
It's mainly to let others know of websites that have our wallpapers on their site. For example, if you found some general "aNimE roolz!" website that has someone's wallpaper on there.

take a look HERE, Xian...
Every single one is taken from AW.com
A damn shame..
At least they included the artists ^_^ so, in one way, they weren't really stealing O.o
Though they could have asked us for permission <_<
Wow. That site.. umm.. just wow. The things some people will do for popularity..

Well... damn, I guess it's a good thing that they didn't steal any of my wallpapers that I've got uploaded to AW.com... Though, in a way, it kinda sucks cause it makes me feel sad... and stuff. *shrug*

What Xian said. If the site doesnt say something like "used with permission from..." or atleast includes contact info, it's stealing.

I'm also sorry to the other wallpaper makers that had their work stolen. I wouldn't wish having this happen to anyone, and it happened to so MANY people...
