I'm not telling you want to do, but maybe you can just send an e-mail to the author of that image asking for permission to use it in your backgrounds pack that you're sharing freely with the community? I have a feeling he just wants some acknowledgement for his creation and he already knows you're a good guy because you promptly complied with his take-down request. He already alluded that he might have granted permission if he had been asked (leaving the door ajar).
Again, it's just a suggestion. You do what's right by you and you don't need to justify your position with anybody.

Indeed I took only 1 image from this guy, not the other ones. But anyway it was enough to break my "sharing mind".
Now all the GFX I have and I am working on are and will be only for my private use, sorry guys. PS. For CirrusEX/Aeon Nox skinners, that doesn't mean I don't want them to use my artworks anymore. I gave them my permission to use them - even developped some stuff in close collaboration, such as the the complete orange icon set with Butchabay (ported to blue version later with Phil65) which I designed myself from scratch without stealing anybody - and of course they can continue to use them as long as they want. cheers Mini 2.66 Intel Core 2 Duo / Silver Apple Remote / Philips 32PFL9606My complete GFX contributions to CirrusExtended 2 My complete set of backgrounds and complete set of moviegenre fanarts Check them out! … and btw my name's Julien

No reason to change your mind mate, it was a mistake, the picture was removed and you already apologized. We all know your skills so keep up your outstanding job for this community and the best mediacenter available. Cheers |

Please for the sake of the community (we all like to see new artwork here) have a rethink if you decide to do any custom artwork in the future Yours Leepenny (Lee) |
