Hey guys...I have a situation where I need some feedback to make sure that I'm not completely crazy.
A designer contacted me on ICQ and asked if he could use some of my images to practice a design. I asked if if I would be able to use it and he said, "of course! If it's of any use to you"
Now he's posting links to this design all over the place trying to sell it and when I contacted him today and asked for the site files he said not for free yada yada yada.
Here is the link to his post where he's trying to sell it:

here is the copy and paste of our conversation when he originally asked to use my content. Content, by the way, that is exclusive to my site and some of it is shared content with Penthouse, Holly Randall, and Aziani.
here's the conversation from my ICQ history:

Mariah Milano5/27/2010 10:48 AM

Mariah Milano5/27/2010 10:49 AM

Alt Web Design5/27/2010 10:49 AM
of course! if its of any use to you
Alt Web Design5/27/2010 10:49 AM
i really just want to mess about and hone my skills
Mariah Milano5/27/2010 10:49 AM
if it's good i will use it
Alt Web Design5/27/2010 10:49 AM
kool
So that was in May as you can see...now from that conversation would you think that I would get the design to use since I provided copyrighted exclusive photos for him to use? I certainly would think so. Not sure how else you could take that.
Well here is the conversation today when I told him I never got the files of the design:

i never got the zip file for the design
Alt Web Design8:41 AM
for what . . ?
(I then copy and pasted the history where he said I could have it if it was of any use to me)
Alt Web Design8:43 AM
not for free lmao
Alt Web Design8:43 AM
its worth over 2k
Mariah Milano8:43 AM
wow
i see how it is
Alt Web Design8:43 AM
i never said for free and never said a price
Mariah Milano8:44 AM
as i didn't say a price and didn't say free when you asked to use my photos i can play that way as well
Alt Web Design8:44 AM
i didnt know what i was gonna create
Alt Web Design8:45 AM
i just never said anyone could have it for free
Alt Web Design8:46 AM
i should of made it more clear when i started but i didnt know what i was gonna do at the time
Am I crazy? Should I demand he remove my images if he won't give me the site design as he agreed to?
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!
