The issue is that coreyvisto is using copyrighted icons that he must buy a royality for... since he makes no note of where he got the icons or gives credit to the actual author, who spent countless hours actually making those icons.
Stealing someone's else's work is not cool. I would think that bbforums with the evidence given should give coreyvisto a warning and remove this theme....
stealing is stealing.... when someone does it, they should be caught red handed... not in a private im.
I appreciate all the pm's from others thanking me for pointing out that people should produce there own graphics and not take from others and then sell it.
This post is not meant to open a new wound... but to stress the importance of how hard it is to produce graphics and that credit and money should be due to the original author...

You would expect to give credit to the author of the icons if you hadn't purchased them.
Why would I give credit to the author if I purchased them?
That's usually the way things work in this business.
