Site with skinners' "dreams" posted without consent

http://www.dreamscenevideo.net/blog/

Amitsaran notified us on a rip of his work at dreamcenevideo.net . I saw the names of many of the artists who post at WC there (don't know if their work was posted w/o permission). A DMCA letter was forwarded to Amitsaran for him to send but it is unclear just whom to address it to, there.  He might have to join their Forum and Post the letter there.

Quite a few of mine are there...without permission.

They even has the gall to say I create these for them.

Our Dream Guru Carguy1 released another great dream.

I saw ausvet's work there too.

It is a 'fair' assumption this 'David' is more closely connected to the site at issue than is made apparent.

With a little digging I found info on this David can be found here.

I posted the link because Davidcubed.com is a dead link.

They have also provided a copy of Deskscapes in the tutorials section.

The worst thing is they have made the .Dreams available in the video format >:(

^ It does indeed, and your find did more than that.

The second entry (ironically, the one selling all he owns), gives an email address:

"If you are looking for sites or domains, please check out my list. If you’d like to purchase anything, just e-mail me at [email protected]."

I hope Amit sees this (as well as the other artists involved) so as to have an "address" to send their DMCA notifications.

Looks like hes got alot of them Posted to youtube too.. 124 in all posted by this guy on youtube directly linked to at Dreamscenevideo.

Will most likely have to Send the DmMCA requests to youtube directly, with links to the dreams on youtube as well as explaining the direct-linking to youtubes site by Dreamscenevideoand NumpXP, using them as a host site to illegally redistribute copyrighted materials.

Pathetic considering upon reading some of the comments on his youtube site, he has been granting others permission to use the dreams in videos etc.

 

Got stuff from carguy.,Vstyler. you name it.

Doesn't that make it a lot more serious? Copyright infringement. Sue his ass for 1.5 million dollars!

Might want to file a complaint against this Facebook page too as it is by the same people and links directly to dreamscenevideos. * just recently created* Dreamscene

 

 

I also posted over at DA letting folks there know about this ripper. link

Excellent, HG_E.  There seem to be a huge number of bases to cover, here.

@ Jafo:  Might it be a good idea to make this a sticky for awhile so that artists get a chance to check out whether their work has been misappropriated?

 

The unhappy fact is that even if we succeed, he'll probably just open shop somewhere else and notify his user base.

I went to check it out.   It's like a cheap, mini Wincustomize.    Unbelievable.    Everyone is there.

I wish more could be done to these thiefs.  XD    Your all so organized and calm....  

 

 

Should he be scared?                       

 

It's so sad. Sorry this happened to such nice people.

Troll Thumping Day...they even stole my Troll Thumping Day Dream.

They can't be allowed to get away with this. I'm sending Guido and Vinny over to have a sit down with them. ;)

Me I would have to send the team of S&W to visit them, if they did not mend there way maybe Mr's Colt and Winchester could them talk to them.

Excellent job Sir :thumbsup:

I posted a request to the site asking them nicely to remove my work. The requet was deleted and my work is still there.

Hopefully You tube deletes the files I reported as being ripped soon so the preview clips will be missing on Dreamscenevideo.

David left a comment that he pulled some dreams due to copyright issues, hopefully he deletes mine soon.

It seems Guido & Vinny's talk may have done some good.

My fervent hope is that SD goes after him for the "Free" Deskcapes he's distributing as well.

TheWindowsClub has an .exe to enable Dreamscenes on Vista Ultimate and W7 as well as a link to dA where links to offsite downloads of many dreams from WC and SD dream "Blissful Sunset" is "Freely" available as well as "Utopia Prime", "Edge of Eternity", "Planktonic", "Good Night Earth", Aquarium II", "Cosmic Waltz", Jellyfish Up", "Underwater", "Undersea", "Asteroid", "Mywindows 7" a recolored rip as well as "Hexican Gold" rip of the same dream, etc. are.

I will not, of course post such a link here.

Damn...now I have more work to do. This guy has posted a bunch of our work as well.

Looks like he may have a warez copy of DeskScapes also.

Doc, you might want to take down the referance to where the site is...there's master dreams involved.

 

Edit: While reporting those rips of mine that Doc pointed out, I found even more there. This is turning into alot of work.

Looks like this dude's been really busy. S&W is beginning to sound more and more like a viable option.
