Beu notified me that he spotted someone who stole Cartoon Me (Barry). His alias is Mohamedimran and if you visit his StumbleUpon profile you will see this:

My Stolen Avatar

How crazy. Makes me mad, upset, kind of makes me feel violated!

He is 21 years old and from AN, India. Now, the crazy thing is, this is not the first guy from India to steal my trademark or name. There was an India SEO Company Impersonating RustyBrick back in October of 2006.

So what is up India? Is this common practice?

Update: On June 20th he replies to me saying:

Hi Rustybrick, thanks for the message,i have to tell you onething, i'm not using yours friend, i saw this pic in a website, it appears good and so cute, it seems like me. so i decided to use it as my avatar in my Social Network Pages.... thats all...

Yes, he is still using my avatar.

Update 2: He has now changed his avatar to something else. He said:

sry friend, i didn't understood, now its ok, i'll change as soon as possible.... Once again i have to say "I'm Really sry"

be my friend....!

Thank you Mohamedimran.
