I googled myself and was surprised what I found. I am owner and manager of a tropical paradise group. I had no idea the whole world could click on the site. I wonder if there is a way to put a stop to that.
Well Jen's pictures must be much better than mine as I could not find one rip of my work! Perhaps this is a measure of the picture, search the internet for rips. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Perhaps theft is just an insincere form.
well, chris..............have you compared the number of photos i've submitted to the number you've submitted. it's astounding. i guess i way over upload! as for randy's googling himself, i say do whatever makes you feel good.
I google myself every now and then. I have an MSN Space, a MySpace and a Bebo page which all show up, as well as here and other wallpaper sites I upload too. I also find the odd rip site occassionally. The strangest I've found was a forum for customisation, which was in French, but they were discussing Crystal XP with one of my wallpapers - which was cool!
It's all advertising to me!
I googled myself. Seems like the Russians like me. Found alot associated with Caedes too.
It's all but impossible to stop the Rips. Just a part of sharing stuff with your friends I guess. There's always gonna be guys like that that take advantage and steal.

Even with my grand totlat of 14 posts (2 images :-) I still got a ton of hits on google. Sadly enough, none of them had anything to do with me whatsoever :-(. Comes from having a popular name I guess...
