Well, I thought the newtechmail thing is gone for good. But it seems far from over. More parties are ripping the screenshots of KOF2002 and Capcom new 3D games from here. Apparently there are still people around the world who doesn't appreciate the efforts of others being others, and the proper intellectual rights that belong to others. They happily rip and use the hardship of others without giving proper credit.
I am disgusted and I appreciate the hardwork of the professor...

It sucks that peple do that. At least KOF Online has been giving proper credit.

Those sites that do rip and don't give proper credit are also the ones that most people don't know about or visit often.
Many trust this site, and with good reason. It delivers.
MVS version in 2003. Are you ready?

I can't really tell them "No" since it's a magazine scan, but nevertheless, that is one real stinker for a commercial site that actually publishes its own magazine. That's like Times Magazine taping from CNN and ripping screenshots to write an exclusive report on Afghan. It's more than just Amateur- it's pathetic. Honestly.
Btw, same goes for that company which apparently took the MAME codes and used it for its online arcade service. Actually, I feel more sorry for them than my own case, since MAME is years of effort put in by a number of people.

It's beyond unproffessional...it's a disgusting disregard for the reasons why any of us do this kind of work. The only gratification one gets out of doing a job for free is the response from the people who appreciate your work...
nothing can make you feel more cheated, it's like not getting your paycheck.

Shouldn't a professional site actually try to act like professionals and not swipe information? Sheesh.

Indeed... I'm disgusted as well, very disgusted. I post on that forum from time to time, and the users now are seeing the piracy that Atomix represents... And ironically enough, they're against piracy, but they practice it everyday...
Oh the humanity...
P.D. si los usuarios de Atomix leen este post, dense cuenta de como trabaja Atomix, por eso su calidad es como es: Pesima

I forgot to mention this in the last post.
Although it's pretty easy to tell that the images are ripped, here's a more concrete evidence. You'll need photoshop to do this.
In the new Street Fighter 3D game pics, take the one with Chunli and Luke. Load it (or copy and paste) to photoshop, and from the Effects menu, select Digimarc > Read Digimarc.
Voila, it's an embedded Digital Watermark-- just follow the URL.

Yeesh, don't these guys know it's just as easy to post a link to a site and give credit where it's due? It's easier, it's poliete, and they save time having to rip up and edit pcitures so they don't look like thieves....
But don't worry, Prof, we support you, and we'll do our best to stomp out little idiots like this...

"Game Next \\ TV stations copy other stations"

Television stations in California and probably the whole U.S. do this. They lift other stations broadcasts. The original station has their logo stamped on the broadcast. The lifting station relays the broadcast with their logo stamped over the last station's logo. It's usually for something like a hyped up court case or a disastor or a Presidential speach though.
By the way Professor, did you notice the pictures in Game Next? I'm writing this sense I think it's something you'd like to know about and sense I don't know if you saw it earlier. Perhaps you gave them permission already. Or maybe you saw it and you didn't really mind. The pictures might have been sent to them by Oskanet. Maybe the original magazine mentions the source of the photo in Chinese. Or the original magazine's coppied photo retains the stamp but the internet scan looses it. This is a copy of the scan downloaded from kofonline. http://www.linkline.com/personal/Panther/newskof2002b.jpg This is a quick side by side of the original from mmcafe.com with the magazine's (which I didn't think you'd mind me making given the reason and only sharing it with people on this board). http://linkline.com/personal/Panther/comp.jpg

I've been asked a number of times about it- it does seem like the photo in the magazine is the image which Osakaaet sent to my site. I haven't given Game Next any authorization to do so, especially when the image isn't actually mine. But considering that there's the possibility that Osakaaet gave them permission himself, I haven't touched or commented on the issue.
Still, thanks for notifying me!

OK.
It's spelled "Osakaaet". I accidently put Oskanet. I must be sleepy.
