Some advice?

[LaevisX]

Hello, I've got a strange sort of potential problem here. Let me explain.

I had published a skin earlier in August, then recently in December I altered it and republished as an updated skin. Now this guy comes along and, seeing the updated skin, says in a review that he doesn't think I made it, and says _he is trying to publish the old skin_, the one made by me!

His name's Peter Lee, and you can see his comments here:

My skin's comment page (http://winamp.com/skins/reviews.jhtml;$sessionid$U2H1IFXORHXDNTN24UYBCYY?rOT=C&rOI=69987)

Any ideas on how I can rectify this situation? Can I communicate with him by some means, or do I have to wait for my old skin to be published by this guy before I can do anything?

He has just used an image that is quite a lot like yours. I don't think that either is a rip, or that there is anything you can do about it. (I'm sure Mr. Jones will be along soon enough to put me right)

Are you saying someone ripped off your original skin?

Provide a link to it for me please.

read it again, can you provide a link to the guy who claims you are ripping him

/me confused:igor:

Sorry for the confusing issue :confused:

As of now, no ripping has happened _yet_.

Again, to review the issue (and perhaps clarify it):

1) I made a skin (Naru v1) around August.
2) Peter (the reviewer in question) sees it, and downloaded it.
3) I updated the skin (Naru v3) around December, changing it substantially (but keeping the main image intact).
4) Peter sees the updated version, and thinks I ripped this skin from the original author (who Peter doesn't realize is me).
5) Peter accuses me of ripping in his review and declares he has submitted my original skin (Naru v1) for publication.

Knowing the queue issues, it probably won't appear for some time. If I can somehow find out the email of this Peter, I'd just like to get in touch with him to set things straight. Is there some way I can do this?

[Mr Jones]

not without a link to one of his skins, sorry, we don't give that kind of information out.

Ok, thx for your help anyways :) Guess I'll just have to be vigilant and watch for the rip to show up. If you can suggest another course of action I can take it'd be most appreciated.
