Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Did she steal this image?
Some of you may know my posts in regards to my stolen image threads (see: She Strikes Again! and others here in the soap box) ...
Well it finally came to a head and went to 'litegation' (sp?) so to speak at our host. I finally got the 'original' graphic that she claims to have used. I feel like an ass because now looking at the 'original' (I use quotes because she did not create this image, she found it on a clipart site -- mine was created in Adobe Illustrator) it seems that she didn't take my image THIS TIME. However, she's done it before and won't stop I tell you! Anyways, here's the final version:
The blue one is the client's/her's, the middle one is the claimed 'original' and the right one is mine from my website.

So she stole it, just not from you?
The more people I meet, the more I love my cats.
LOL I think so. - Also, remember the flower tooled leather image that my friend did, (I posted it on one of the other posts) where the purple one that she did was undoubtedly a copy? Well she yanked that down off of her site and *swears* that all her images are 'originals'.... She makes me SO damn mad. She even wants an apology for accusing her!

Wow, some nerve of that 'lady'.
She wants an apology?
Yeah, I'd write her an 'apology' on my 'special letterhead for special customers' (aka. a photocopy of my ass).
If I was any less productive right now, I'd be comatose.

You think that is the only barbed wire out there?
There are thousands of barbed wire vector clip art, rasterized clip art
Not to mention what you could do to each one with a simple reflect, or reverse etc.
as for your being created in illustrator it sure does not look like you made it in illustrator,
tub (and redeye for that matter)
I never said it was the ONLY barbed wire image... I simply said that I created this particular one, therefore there was no way this person could say that it was hers just because she took it off the web somewhere and changed its color. She also took another image from a friend of mine but then changed it when we called her on it and is now trying to say she never did anything wrong. Whatever, because several people saw it on her website and know the truth.
And yes mine was made using illustrator, but that is not what was in question here.

she didnt rip anyone off,

and put a clear picture of what you did instead of a blown up jpeg
tubdesigner, CowgirlExpressions states clearly in the first post of this thread that the image is NOT a ripoff of her image. She has a history with this other person and has demonstrated that some of her images absolutely were stolen from her site. This just wasn't one of them. What exactly is your point in stating over and over again in ever more nasty posts something that was established in the first post?
I love children but I don't think I could eat a whole one.

If it makes you feel any better, Cowgirl, ayequestrian.com is one fugly-a$$ site.
And, even though the barbed-wire image was not stolen from you, the concept certainly appears to be stolen, judging by her site and yours.
Where are the threads discussing your previous problems with this person?

Kool & DY,
Thanks guys. Yeah, I know her sites are crap, and I have a VERY high 'incling' that the barbed wire image in question WAS actually ripped off, just not from me (this time). I *swear* I have seen that tan/brown one (in the middle at the top there) before, but I can't find it. 'She' claims it was on some free clipart website... but somethin' just don't sit right with me on that one....
DY - The first post was www.graphicdesignforum.com/default.aspx?f=13&m=70349 (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/default.aspx?f=13&m=70349) and the next one was www.graphicdesignforum.com/default.aspx?f=13&m=81004 (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/default.aspx?f=13&m=81004) .. Of course, the links provided in the 2nd one probably won't work, because after we called her on that, she pulled the 'Remedy' site down and claimed she never used that purple tooled flower image from TeamRopinGal's site (Zane Bowers) and the only proof we have was a screenshot - http://www.runninghorses.net/overlap.jpg (and subsequently, found out her new Remedy site is located at www.remedyranch.com/ (http://www.remedyranch.com/))
And Tub, if you think that nearly ALL barbed wire images look the same, you've got some more design skills to learn. I think most on here will agree with me that mine is of relatively good quality, and when used in different designs, can look very nice (www.cowgirlexpressions.com/ (http://www.cowgirlexpressions.com/) ....

Phew. Just read both of those threads.
All I have to say is, everyone throw pancakes at WHORE HOUSE!!!!
Can't we organize some sort of international coalition of hackers to bombard her sites and ruin her?
It worked in Hackers.
