I was browsing RPG.net today and noticed that a number of the images on their website seem to be taken from the ones listed on the Tome.

For example the Rider Fantasy Creations images:

RPG.net:
http://index.rpg.net/pictures/show-pic.phtml?picid=11481
http://index.rpg.net/pictures/show-pic.phtml?picid=11479
http://index.rpg.net/pictures/show-pic.phtml?picid=11480
http://index.rpg.net/pictures/show-pic.phtml?picid=11478

These items were posted by ShannonA who seems to be an administrator over there.

I've notice that a number of images on RPG.net have also been stolen from the Acaeum, JG subweb, and TSR Archive site as well.

Having now looked over more of the images on RPG.net, there are literally hundreds of images taken from The Acaeum, The Tome, TSR Archive, Noble Knight, Paizo, WotC, Mongoose, Green Ronin, EXP, etc.

I cannot think of a single instance when it would be OK for another site to build their content with our user-submitted images, information, and related thoughts. This matter was decided a long time ago by our administrative team to protect the efforts of our community. Regarding the Tome's Intellectual Property.

I have seen the thread regarding this matter on their forum and I have not received any message from that administrator asking for anything. At this point, I would very much appreciate it if our images and information was removed from their site without further permission for additional lifting of information and images from our pages.

You can contact Shannon directly at <shannona@skotos.net> if you haven't already. I can also relay a message if you'd like?

I really can't think of 1 good reason why anyone here would allow this? I would be pissed if I spent numerous hours scanning and typing for some project here and then some _____ from another site just copies and pastes it somewhere else... A lot of online 'personalities' have a scary sense of entitlement these days... I think you can see it in almost every site that over some period of time a sort of degredation takes place. The crap seemingly rises to the top in most cases online Wink Some morons build up a tremendous # of redundant posts and before you know it they start to write some moronic BS and attack other people with a few posts or people who rarely post and therefore will not put up much resistance. Everyone else silently watches because they don't want to challenge somebody with 4,000 posts because he obviously knows what he's talking about to have so many posts... ... ... This is the kind of person you're dealing with Wink
