In a March 2014 discussion, Moschella states: I assumed the guy would just give it up as I sadly let the project stagnate, but that hasn't happened.
Gimpshop adware software#
It has been five years, the software has stagnated (due in no small part to my becoming discouraged by this one profiteer who trumped me, stole much of my traffic and bumped my site down to the second result when you search for "Gimpshop"). I questioned his motives and he said he was just a fan and that the site was a "fan-site". I asked that the owner stop hot-linking my files (and draining my bandwidth), so he hosted them somewhere else. Soon, there were donate buttons, my name in the site's title and much more - making it look like my website. Not more than a few days after the OS X version was released and spread virally, someone who isn't me bought "", put up a site with hot-links to the files on my site and began advertising - LOTS of advertising.
Gimpshop adware update#
"Due to pending concerns over rights to the GIMPshop name, and a dispute with the individual who purchased the domain, plans for an update are on hold. Wouldn't GIMP be better and safer option then GIMPShop? Here's what I've found on wikipedia about GIMPShop: Its interface takes a little getting used to, but has served every need I have required of it thus far. If you want something a little more complex I would suggest GimpShop. > MacTUG at posted by Kurashi: is the simplist while maintaining the tools needed for everything that I know of. > Since we were talking about replacing photoshop, I remembered this. > On, 1:53 PM, " mactug-bounces at on behalf of m3griffi" wrote: If you are not specifically authorized to receive this email and if you believe that you received it in error please notify the original sender immediately.

I was on it and it looked a bit cheesy so I looked up gimpshop in Wikipedia to find out that this other site is owned by a squatter who is ripping off the creator of gimpshop and effectively discouraging him from further developing the software (from Wikipedia entry): “I originally created Gimpshop, but I'm not the jerk who owns that domain and added adware & spyware to the source.
