Report of possible icon theft

[jans_intentions]

Hi, first post here on behalf of friends who will follow and answer comments.

Icon maker smelltheflowers discovered a theft of her icons being shared in an icon community.

This is one link to her icons which were stolen (There may be more.) I asked her to open it since her community is flocked. Post at Rapture Icons. Check on page four at the bottom of

How interesting about 0_i_t_y_t_0. While the link in your post to the post within that community has been locked, one of smelltheflowers icons is in their preview post. I'll send t_w_o an email.

I saved the post before it became flocked -- lemme know if you need it.

Thank you. How about either emailing the link to me or tagging it onto the newest mod post I did? My email is spiralled at yahoo dot com

I suggested smelltheflowers also capture the original post, so she has that as well as I see sevvy_o.

I also suggested she report it at hotlinkers, since they do share icon theft information there with the pool of icon makers.

smelltheflowers also does Disney icons and the like, so it's possible those have been taken as well.

Thank you, spiralleds.

You're welcome. Thank you for your help with this.

It was reported to hotlinkers but with the posts locked we can't see any of the icons to check for any theft of our icons

Did they respond to the email?

[spiralleds]

Yes. Although since I sent that one, more information has come to light. I've just sent a second message. Once I pull all the pieces together, I'll do a full summary. Right now I keep uncovering more elements to the situation, so it may be a while before I'm at the summary stage.
