I think Baz needs the actual cover(s) rather than just those previews if i'm on the same wavelength as he is ;)


You are ;) I'm not sure if I like that though :bootyshake:

I took a moment and message Mr sk8flawzz this was the response.

Have YOU ordered and received a reproduced "original" artwork from this auction that belongs to artists at those sites? I'll answer that for you with a NO, because that is not what is for sale here. This listing is for RETAIL replacement Blu-ray covers.

haha, well you may like to know I sent him a warning the other day, to remove his listings or be banned. This is his response

I am insulted that my account has been threatened with cancellation. I request that my money be refunded at a prorated rate for the time remaining. I sell replacement RETAIL covers on eBay, from various local movie rental chains which dispose of them. Have you looked into my auction? Please investigate before making allegations. I am expecting my refund and cancellation promptly.[/quote]

He/she "the thief" knows what they did. see how defensive they get?

**allow me to brown-nose a second and seriously thank you guys for all the hardwork. I love sometimes just looking through some of the stuff thats been done on here. Some really cool ideas and concepts no doubt. I have replaced several of my original covers with art from this site. Pretty damn sure its been a little from all of you.

Someone should mention to him that retail chains that rent movies may dispose of their covers, but LionsGate, WarnerBros, Universal, Disney and Fox all use separate artwork for rental outlets. Each have different legal statements, UPC's ,sometimes completely different artwork and clearly state for rental only......the reason being to prevent the rental companies from buying retail copies to rent or from selling rental copies as used retail.

Hope that makes sense!

I'm a now retired coverflow artist for WiiFlow. After about a year and a half or so of making covers, I started to notice other people posting them to other sites as their own. It would upset me in no other way. They didn't spend the hours nor days to make the covers but yet pass it as their own. Don't get me twisted though, I have had some personally ask me if they could post my covers on another site as long as they credited me. I usually was okay with it then. Either way, it's gonna happen no matter what. I'm just glad to actually see a site that cares and does what they can to stop it.
I just may upload a few personal covers I made to this site :)
