Deviant Artists, this is a call to arms!

I recently discovered a new iPhone app called "Dollar Origami", from the guys at NexStudios.jp, and I was surprised to find that a picture they were using to advertise their product was none other than my TIE fighter.  My TIE fighter, lifted directly from this Deviant account. I know, right? It gets worse. Not only did they steal my TIE, but they blatantly stole the diagrams AND picture for my Dollar Koi! I'm not the only one who has been wronged by these thieves. Included in this travesty are the original instructions from both Fumiaki Kawahata(yoda) and Charles Esseltine(tank). We weren't credited, acknowledged, or even mentioned. Now this might seem rather selfish of me, but if I could ask a favor of everyone. Please, send an e-mail to info@nexstudios.jp to let them know exactly what you think of their copyright infringement. Don't swear or be vulgar, please; I really want this to be professional. I fully intend to take this up with their lawyers, because I haven't been more enraged about the theft of my work before. I really appreciate your support, and I know that together we can do something about this.

All the info you need is right here. I suggest you remove it, credit him, and compensate him for the ones you sold.

Dear Ryan:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have terminated the application and the individual from our team who was responsible for the application. Please note that we are in conversations with the original artists and hope to rectify the problem shortly.
