Here is the rip:

Here is the culprit:
Now, Im not really looking to do anything about this, except get it removed from iStockphoto, whom I have contacted and am awaiting a response. I also emailed 3Some.biz and told them to remove it.

uhmm.. you can buy filters for video that'll do that really quick and easy with a click of a mouse... wheres the rip?
ive seen it before... its like a standard filter with some program i cant remember.

how did they manage to get the streamlining tighter on the ripped version? my condolences.
- unknown0
i wouldnt even bat an eye...
they both are crappy

it is the same sequence exactly. that I cut up from footage of rodney mullen from 3 different skate videos. coincidence that they are identical clips? No.
Also, I didnt use filters, I used streamline and trace bitmap on thousands of frames.
And Qburt, this was about the rip, not your opinion on the quality of other people's work.

if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, these people must dig yer chili.
if i were u, i'd have istockphoto sell yers instead.

thanks lyrek, I honestly was amazed when I saw it. didnt think anyone would bite my stuff.
Vespa, I imagine that whoever did the red and white one just optimized the vectors and made them smaller in flash to make the filesize smaller. Which seems like an awful lot of work, for stealing it.

thats harsh..
but i kept thinking "why does the rip load way faster than the original..?"
- leaves0
greater technical skill (which may or may not be the case) does not justify using someone elses work.
- rasko40
theres no music on the rip, and maybe a faster server.

When I made this clip, it was also available as an mpg and mov.
this dude just emailed me saying he didnt rip it and "you are not the only one who uses flix pro".
what a fucking dickhead...
I dont use fucking flix pro.
- tomkat0
hack him.

if you look at the bottom of his email you'll find the words (in small text) "Please sign me up for as much gay porn spam as you can, thanks"
