The writeups and images are legally owned by me. While the characters, games etc. are owned by Nintendo, they do NOT own my writeups and THAT is the issue

What pictures have been stolen though? Because if you're talking about card pictures, then you'd hopefully noticed the 'Pokebeach.com' logo in each of the card picture's corner.

You know, it's not actually "stealing" but rather plagurism. Stealing means to take something so the other person no longer has it. The thieves actually just wrote down what you posted on the site, yet you still have the work.

Plus, whats the worst that can happen when someone, let's say copies, the work into their own site?

It's not about what can happen, it's about the fact that they are benefiting from something that Serebii and his associates did, while the other party did absolutely nothing. It's wrong, it's illegal, and if you do it, you're a prick.

The picture captioned as "In-game map of the Unova region from Black 2 and White 2" was copied from the Pokéarth picture of the Unova region and altered to remove the Challenger's Cave and Route 10.

I know this because in the actual in-game map of the Unova region in Black 2 and White 2, Undella Bay doesn't have a green square - it's just the yellow line connecting Undella Town to the Seaside Cave.

Edit: Never mind this. Apparently, some squares on the B2/W2 Unova ingame map only show up once you've been there.

These Forums:

The PokeYami Forums.

They have copied the The Infraction Points System.

They have quite cleverly copied and pasted, then just made minor edits to conceal them. For example, everything related to "Serebii Forums" is "PokeYami" there.

Note: They had also copied other things, but a certain member (I am not taking names.) saw this post and edit the "Rules" and "Trade Forum Blacklist" sections there to include "Started by SPPF" and "Taken from SPPF".

Serebii I have a question regarding this. What if a site mentions your site as original source and gives you and the staff full credit, do you still regard it as stolen?
