i can't upload a skin so i made a blog.
So we all are pretty pissed when we are just browsing through a site (like novaskin or skindex) and we see our skin stolen.. without credit. You want your skin 'back' right? Well you can't tell the person to take the skin down as you posted it publicly, but what you CAN do is ask for credit. There are two ways to do this ,the 'wrong' way and the 'right' way
do NOT rage at them. if you are mad flaming them will just make them less likely to give credit/take it down
DO NOT act cocky in any way. don't go saying "lelele i'm su fam00s on pmc i'm practically notch su giv mi crdit!11"
Don't hold a grudge on them just because they stole a skin. everybody (including me) has stolen a skin at one point in time so we need to forgive
oh also don't go around making false statements like "i can sue you know!?"
actually know and read your copyright..rights

(it seems like a lot of paper work right? XD)
what TO do
Ask nicely. Asking nicely will not worry/anger the person that 'stole' your skin.
Act Professional. It will seem like you aren't some silly 13 year old who just read a bunch of pdf's on what your copyright means.
USE MANNERS. They may have stolen your skin but a person is a person and deserves to be treated with respect (up to a point) say something like "you don't have to take the skin down but would you mind giving me credit?"
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. that goes a long with sounding professional
this will get you credit on your skin that you made and was stolen. if not then bring out a gang of pmcers to flame on the person until they die

Actually... I haven't...
And when you upload your skin, or download one, aren't there some terms applied by PMC?
"Act Professional. It will seem like you aren't some silly 13 year old who just read a bunch of pdf's on what your copyright means."
But there is an agreement involved with pmc whenever you download it, so you have to follow their rules on it.
Pity...
End term user license agreements FTW, then!
But if it is your own work, I say you have the right to tell them that they can't steal your skin! People make movies, songs, and TV shows that go public, but you still get in trouble for stealing them. Same thing in this scenario.
