survivor said You should ask the thief to prove, that he made it and not me …Actually, no. In legal terms and generally speaking (I’m not judging who’s right or wrong here, it’s not my business), the burden of proof is on the claimer.yes, exactly
ToivoMedia saiddedicated staff to copyright and piracy issues would be nice, better if he stay close to the community. it will have the help of all the authors around here.
It shouldn’t even be the job of authors to police the marketplace. There should be dedicated staff for this called the Envato Sheriffs or something.
This guy is close to the community. We should enlist his help as sheriff!

I’ve already told You (1 year ago) that it has been bought or downloaded with propper licence or with author permission. I’ve several folders with graphics I bought or downloaded which can be used in commercial files, but this folder with foods is almost 2-3 years old, so I can’t remember the link.

Even in this thread we have a pretty good example on why we can’t just disable accounts or remove files immediately once they’re reported to us. Just think what would happen if we removed your file Survivor on the strength of xstortionist’s claim alone. The DMCA process is the current industry wide standard for this reason. Yes it takes time and effort, but it also prevents us from disabling files recklessly as well.

Well KingDog, I understand that You need to do some steps before You disable items / accounts, but the first file of this author was taken down after less then 24 hours, so I’m just currious why not the others? What is the difference?
May be my English isn’t good enough to be understood, but I’m not trying to insult anyone from Envato, I’m just sad about the situation.

i just do not understand why only the files can be taken. Why it’s not possible to tell that if anyone has been caught on the top then just simple stop to accept any further job in the future. 1 to 3 months ban also could works. C’mon if the Envato do this, thats not a jurisdiction. This place is his own, so no need to prosecute, no need to sue. Just do not accept further job thats all.

That’s not true, because I stumbled upon the original copyright holder and notified them about the unauthorized use of the cookie. It’s apparent they never sent in a DMCA notice but I was able to scrounge up the email I sent them and this was their response.
“Thanks for this info, I always think that people reap what they sow — if they steal, their lives will be bad for it — in that way I feel sorry for them. Keep up the good work.”
I guess it’s okay to use the cookie image considering there is a large number of other authors who have used it but aren’t you supposed to supply reviewers with the license before uploading artwork for anything that you used in the file?
