Lovely. Browsing through lensroll.com and found a Kung Fu Panda lens. Since I have one (that’s been bouncing up and down into the #1 spot in Movies for a while), I went to see what this one was all about. And two of the pieces of art on the page were taken from my lens. Boo. Now, the art itself isn’t unique - afterall, I got it as promotional art originally from Dreamworks, but I had cropped it and added borders and tilted it and so forth to make it my own. Left a comment in the guestbook requesting he remove them because, well, they’re mine now. Not going to hurt me or anything in the long run (or the short run, actually). I guess it’s just the principle. Sigh.

Yes, that’s annoying to work hard on something, then to have someone else take it without giving you credit, or asking for permission. I’ve had it happen with some of my articles.

Boo, hiss. That *would* be kind of annoying.

I’m assuming he did a Google image search or something, but would still have seen that they came from another lens. I worked hard to make those guys!

That’s just wrong. Now if they had used the same artwork from Dreamworks that you did, fiar enough, but to blatantly copy yours - well it’s pretty obvious where it came from isn’t it!
Very annoying…. And unoriginal too…
Sounds like they were trying to copy your lens to try and get traffic…
