i guess.. but it is still annoying when people rip. even elementary PS takes considerable skill, thought and the creative drive. Even your simple wire frame, sharpening, texture whatever.. it all requires that creative and perceptive eye. For someone with your skills, you might have taken that for granted now, cause its a part of you. In any case, ripping is a direct insult to the creators hardwork. @ the very least, they should be credited!

But the internet is vast. There is no possible way to ever protect (or expect protection for) your work.
