Those are not my skins. I do not mind people using skins that I released. What I do mind is when people rip images from my skins and use them in their own skins.
If people want respect, they need to earn it. Ripping other peoples work is not a good way to get respect.
If you have a problem with me complaining, then I guess you are all for copyright infringements and believe in ripping other peoples hard work.

I do understand how you feel, I've had plenty of stuff stolen from me (say, a game engine 85% complete.. decided to open-source it, another company took it over and said it was made by them). It really doesn't bother me one bit, my hardwork is getting used.
Anyhow, I think the reason why people use your images is because there are NO images avaliable to replace Webwiz's default icons. I mean, who wants to have PURPLE non-transparent icons on their website.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but your images are all transparent, and look decent non-purple.
That is why people rip your images.
On the otherhand, if I was to use any of your images I'd ask for permission, and give credit where due.
I hope some day someone, or, borg will decide to make all the images a more decent color then the current color of the default skin... and to provide some different colored icons for people to use.
