Here is the general situation, more details are following this :
user 'ProDragon' posted in the signature request thread to retouch a photo for him, he says that he will provide fgs in return.
i gave the request a shot and posted my version in his thread. located here:
http://forums.d2jsp.org/index.php?showtopic=18980699&f=111the thread ended after a couple of days and he apparently didn't accept any of the offers.
a few days later, i got a pm from a random user " PoirotH" warning me that Prodragon stole this piece of artwork without mentioning, posted in the italian forum, and is proud of stealing this artwork.
The exact d2jsp username is ProDragon

http://forums.d2jsp.org/user.php?i=298414this is my original artwork that i posted in his REQUEST thread:

this is the thread where he posted my artwork and supposedly openly admitted that he ripped my artwork for free and is proud of doing that.
http://forums.d2jsp.org/index.php?showtopic=19555237&f=269however, that topic is in the Italian language.
i received all of this information from a nice guy "PoirotH" who understands italian ( since the ripper posts in italian )
this is the pm this guy sent me:
"
I want to say that this guy in the topic says that he doesn't pay you for your job and seems that he is proud of that.
This user is a famous multiaccount,scammer of the italy section so I suggest you to make a topic in rip accusation section and don't say nothing to him.
You can have the possibility to lock his fgs. I am sure that if you ask him to pay for your yob he 'll transfer fgs on a friend account.

I have been very quiet about this because I know that if i went to discuss with prodragon he'd either not admit it or get rid of all of his fgs and make a multi.
I hope something will be done against this guy, I don't need any fgs or rewards, i just want a ripper-free forum where people respect the copyrights of artists.
