My graphics plagiarized by a Polish blog
Hi,
I need help dealing with a graphic thief/plagiarist that stolen and edited my wallpaper. I wouldn't normally ask as I am already used to solving this kind of situations on my own, but the problem is, both the thief and the kind person who has let me know about the theft are Polish and I don't understand the language well enough to read or write in it.
This is the e-mail I've gotten today:
Witam.
Nie wiem, może piszę niepotrzebnie, ale natknęłam się na pewną sprawę.
Tworzyłaś chyba, albo wciąż tworzysz grafiki/tapety na slytherin.pl,
prawda? Oglądając Twoje tapety trafiłam na tę:
http://www.slytherin.pl/download/tapety/zugma/slytherinpl_horcrux1024.gif
i od razu skojarzyła mi się ona z pewnym szablonem internetowym, który
widziałam na jednym z serwisów mylogowych, oferującym ocenianie blogów.
W każdym razie to:
http://priori-horcrux.mylog.pl/komentarze.php?id=5283541 jest już
zamknięte i można się tam tylko dostać poprzez archiwum. Ewidentnie
widać, że grafika jest ta sama, lekko podkoloryzowana, ale identyczna.
Nie wiem, czy ta przeróbka i użycie Twojej grafiki było wcześniej
zgłaszane, ale wolę się upewnić - poza tym podpis wskazuje na innego
autora.
Jeśli to pomyłka i Mi zyskała Twoją zgodę, to z góry przepraszam. Ale na
takie rzeczy to ja jestem uczulona.
Pozdrawiam.
Basically, I got what this e-mail is about: its sender has noticed that this blog's layout is made out of my wallpaper (which was, with my premission, archived at this site) and asks me if I allowed them to do so. (Of course I didn't; they didn't ask, either.) It also seems that the blog owner claims the layout their own work (?).
The details of the email, however, are lost for me. Also, my knowledge of the language is too tiny to navigate around that blog: I can't understand the entries or find the way to contact the owner :( I guess I have to register to be able to leave comments - but I don't know how to do that.
So, what I'm asking is help of Polish speakers, if there happen to be any here (I realize chances are low, but I don't know where else to ask). I would greatly appreciate it if someone could translate the e-mail for me or helped me contact the blog owner and ask them to remove the image they plagiarized. Also, if you can offer any advice on what else I can do, I will be grateful :)
Thank you in advance.
