Still, copyment is the greatest form of flattery. It means she thinks your work is good i spose. Not that I condone these selfish, blatant rips!

brooke,
should we start 'the thing' to bring the girl to the reason?

make her to re-create the picture herself in illustrator if she wants it so bad... that way she might actually learn something useful from this

I remember when Tank was ripped. The boy went "I'm sorry designer, I'm sorry".
Tank acted classy as I remember and I think the kid was left with a lesson without unnecessary humiliation.This chick though seems to be too dumb to ever learn anything.
Consider calling a couple of hard, pipe-hittin' niggers with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.

I propose we send MrDinky as undercover to pretend if he's trying to hit on her... get her to send full sized pictures and all...
THEN we do a Friday PS Battle with those pics and post them in every forum we know.
That'll teach her.

Sometimes after i finish a project i notice that it shares similarities with something impressive i saw years ago but completely unintentional, even that gives me an unsatisfied feeling. I'm not even sure whether i got it from my memory or made similar conclusions and links as the original artists.
Of course this is not the case here, but i try to understand the reasoning if you just steal and present it as your own. what do you gain from that? Maybe you can impress some people with a lie but where is goal in impressing people you don't respect? I can only conclude she will lose her self-esteem and pride in any work she actually did herself.

brooke,
firstly, tell her to stop skipping english class cos that email was written horribly.
secondly, if she is daring you to report her... report her! the balls on that girl. find a lawyer who will send her a threatening letter via snail mail that is completetly littered with legal speak and have it somewhere in the letter that you just want an apology.
or, you could just contact her hosting company and tell them to take down her site as it contains willing copyright infridgement.

Brooke,
As Matty said, you could try contacting the host and explaining the situation, because it works sometimes. Otherwise report her, or spam everything.
I was going to tell you to ignore it, but after I read that email she sent you, I think you should take further action :)

First I thought some of the reactions from were a bit exagerate. I mean, it was posted by a 15 year old girl, on a website that maybe 2 know existed. (her and tank, apparently)
.. but then I read her email to brooke..
Since her # is on the site, I think somebody should have a talk with her parents.

I always like to play devils advocate, so...
Thinking maybe you guys are being a bit harsh on this lass?
If she were making money from this, then I would be the first one to demand and end to it.
As a final year design student I think I can see this situation from both sides; I can see Brooke’s annoyance at the girls use of her illustration, however I can also see why the girl in question 'stole' the image.
She is only young, and that’s somewhere everyone has been, struggling to learn and develop. It is said art imitates life, and thus it could be argued that true originality is an unachievable ideal, and we all learn to develop a style by assimilating bits of pieces from the styles of others, be it from members of newstoday or artists of the renaissance for example.
Whilst I agree that it should have been pointed out to the girl that 'ripping' work in such a manner and displaying it as her own is wrong, I don't think such a full on textual assault, with threats of legal action and such was really required.
Perhaps a more responsible approach of supplying guidance to the girl and advising her on how to develop her style without directly ripping other's artwork would have been more appropriate.
After all you cannot blame her by being inspired by very talented designers such as Brooke.

I know who you are. Girl, don't try to be "undefined". Show yourself. Why are you so scared? Gah! Idiot! One word to say to yourself if I was a judge, "CONCEITED BITCH". Thank you very much. So what? Free country, free stuff, aha! The real artist? Aha! Thanks for taking time to even visit. Mind your own business, Untitled- anonymous."

You may feel she needs a slap.
But as devils advocate:
She's only 15, and to be fair what does she have to respond with when faced with everone coming down on her like a ton of bricks? Not much, as to be fair she is guilty, and doesn't yet have the education to dream up anythink clever to say. Everyone has been in an argument where all they could think of to say in reply was F-off!
