Well I'm sorry you feel that way, But when I release something and the license states "No Derivative Works", I have full right to require permission for its use in another work.
I may be wrong, but for what I understand, malys777 was not distributing a derivative of your work, but a GTK theme of his own, WITHOUT a default wallpaper. But he had to take a screenshot to show it off. And since he was using your wallpaper, it was seen in the screenshot. But if he did not anyhow presented the wallpaper as an integral part of the theme itself, there was effectively NO derivatives of your work. But of course, being overmeticulous, one could interpret the screenshot itself as a derivative, and therefore a violation of your license... And if you are really going to sanction people for such sundries, then really, you are no better than an ACTA advocate, which is nothing else than a form of copyright fascism. Really, I can't see how exactly did malys777 harm you or your work, but I can clearly see how did you harm him and his work. And I can say you are missing the point of free culture and CC licenses, completely. If you don't like people using your stuff, why don't you just keep full copyright, i.e. "All rights reserved", and maybe even put a prohibition on downloading it?
I may be an asterisk (*), I have no problem with that. It is greek for little star. Always better that being a fascist. :-p
My wallpaper was used as part of the GTK theme itself, not as wallpaper or as just part of the screenshot, but as the background for the windows (menu bar, etc) in the theme. That counts as a derivative, and he should have asked beforehand or at least credited me, both of which he didn't do. However, when I asked him to credit me, he started harassing me, editing my work further and uploading it, claiming he made them "from scratch".
So here's an idea: Stop trying to defend someone who does nothing but steal other artists work and claim it as their own, especially when you know a fraction of the story. Being a "writer" as your page claims, plagiarism should be an issue you might understand and probably worry about.
By the way, Way to freak out over nothing. With my "Also You're*" statement, I was jokingly correcting your typo of "Your're". Keep calling me a fascist, I bet it makes you feel all important!
Stop to think, what are you talking about the lies 4 years and you do not mind you knowing about it when I was trying to develop something like this always make me ban left for me like no other person zero!
You got suspended because you were constantly uploading modified versions of my image and claimed them entirely as your own. Which is Plagiarism. Which is against deviantart rules. You broke them, you got in trouble and someone finally did something about it.
And what's with this 4 years thing you keep going on about? The image didn't exist until 2009, which is 3 years ago.
Also You're*
