I think it's kind of funny, the dude completely ruined my artwork. :lol: I think I would have just left my logos on the cover rather than add that shit. ;)

I guess you have to register to see the artwork or something. He does have mca and bca affiliations listed on the main site. Have you talked to them about your art work??

Well, it's not the site I'm after, it's the person who edited the artwork. I set up the affiliations with MetalPrincess's site myself. Here's the edited cover:

Wow, what a smart ass! Not only he stole it, but he made it look like crap with all he/she added on top of it.

lol, wow. Whats the motive for something like that? I've also seen countless times on Ebay where people use covers from here and MCA as a picture to sell bootlegs.

I suppose so they can sell the bootlegs with covers, but so they don't say "created by" and have our website address on them. If you find anymore of those auctions using our covers, please let me know.
