Rumored items by the creator and their originals by other creators

I got this notecard yesterday:

Linda Berkqvist aka enayla is a famous digital artist, who has created skins for the sims 2 game.  Her terms for using those skins are very explicit for use, along with her art.  I once found her skins in sl being sold which goes against her copyright and TOS.  They turned out to be from a business in a box and the person selling them removed them as she realized her error.  Yesterday I tped to a store looking for jewelry and found these skins being sold again…….I will put everything here for you: (and i have the skins that were sold before by the other sl person AND the original sim skins….and no enayla isn’t in sl, she would never have this done to her work)

the store is ‘she wants revenge”
I don’t have an LM, sorry but it’s in search, i got it by classifieds..

The person who sent me the notecard also sent me a copy of a notecarded response (regarding questioning of items) from Revenge Gears:

Hi there,

Sorry for ask… But Are u feeling envy?
I checked Linda and i talk with my friend that did these skins… And I think you are nut about it…. First point – I didnt find any skin format from linda, I just saw some pictures, fantasy pictures… The creator of skin show me the font and its very clean…
You just talked shit and didnt prove nothing … Wheres this game that linda used these skins?
Show me pics.
You arent creator, so you dont have any right to fill a DMCA againt Patrick1 Slade. Realistic Life Owner.
So, for me its just a person feeling envy about my store and wants ruins it.. If you prove me when came from these skins, show me pics and etc… We talk again… But i will not remove nothing without proves!

And a chat log:

[2008/04/05 6:23]  Avatar: and yes i read the answer
[2008/04/05 6:23]  Avatar: You obviously do not research very well… here’s your proof and expect a copyright infringement…which is sad as you AREN’T the creator but hmmm are refusing to take any action……..i shouldn’t have to do research for you and just have the original creator take legal action against which she does…. http://www.furiae.com/images/vamp-skin.jpg http://www.furiae.com/images/vamp-skin2.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Bergkvist   terms of use for the skin in the SIMS 2 GAME http://www.furiae.com/images2/enayla.txt     and as to them not being in sl before…yes they have. in fact i BOUGHT the skin by a person who had LIKE YOU bought the skins from the SO-CALLED creator, so i OWN the same skin you are selling but by a different creator AND i have the skin for the other game….so YOU tell me who is in the wrong?  you trust the creator enough to go to court over this?  Obviously english ISN’T your first language, so I would seek translations of her terms of copyright so you may understand fully.
[2008/04/05 6:25]  Revenge Gears: are u the creator?
[2008/04/05 6:25]  Revenge Gears: are u the designer?
