Hey everyone! Someone is stealing artists works and selling pictures as her own work. Illegally using copyrighted material to make a profit. This stuff need to stop! Rion is an awesome guy and doesn't deserve the time it will take it court for this girl to learn her lesson.
This is from her website :
"All Tags are made from Tubes, which I have received thru my MANY graphic groups.They are then animated and become moving "parodies of the Tube itself. Once animated, I add a name,then it is posted on these pages, for ALL to enjoy and take! THESE tags are FREE for all to take and Use! Below are some of the Artists, whos tubes I used in the PAST! Special Thanks to Dean Yeagle and Joel Adams for their help YOU will find their links below, Please visit! IF you see a Graphic on MY site that is YOURS & Copyrighted, PLEASE Email me and IT will be removed AT ONCE!!. or A link to your work!"
Problem is she has never gotten permission from Rion or any other artist there that I know of. These are not free pictures she is posting.
Her website is
http://www.bronxtags.com/ and her email is
BronxLady1@aol.com. Boycott her and her nastiness! The good folks from Rion's Yahoo group have emailed her about the illegal pictures and she has been NASTY to them.
lamer: n.
1. Synonym for looser, common among warez d00dz, crackers, phreakers
etc. A user who behaves in a stupid or uneducated manner that's often
characteristic of newbies. A person who downloads much, but who never
uploads(aka leecher). One who opposes the elite(L337). Has the same
connotations of self-conscious elitism that use of luser does.
2. A person with no Phreaking/Hacking skills, but who talks a lot of
sh1t.
3. Someone who annoys the sysop or other users — for instance, by
posting lots of gay messages, uploading virus-ridden software,
frequently dropping dl'ers, etc.
4.Crackers use this to refer to cracker wannabees. A lamer is one who
scams codes off others rather than actually doing cracks or really
understanding the fundamental concepts.
5.In warez d00dz culture, where the ability to wave around cracked
commercial software within days of (or before) release to the
commercial market is esteemed, the lamer might try to upload garbage,
shareware, or something incredibly old (old in this context is read
as a few years to anything older than 3 days). `Lamer' is also much
used in the IRC world in a similar sense to the above.
This term seems to have originated in the Commodore-64 scene in the
mid 1980s. It was popularized among Amiga crackers of the mid-1980s
by `Lamer Exterminator', the most famous and feared Amiga virus ever,
which gradually corrupted non-write-protected floppy disks with bad
sectors. The bad sectors, when looked at, were overwritten with
repetitions of the string "LAMER!"
