Hi,

As you can see in the correspondence below, I was adviced to file a formal complain.
I'll do my best to describe the situation shortly & clearly as I'm respectful to your precious time.
I'm the Author of LavaFox & BlackFox themes: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/4710003
This theme (GMP) is using 80-90% of the images I designed from scratch & the overall look is very similar to my theme BlackFox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/239620/
Just a part of the images that are copied: Tool-bars, scroll-bars, buttons, status-bar, progress-bar Menus & more.
The author of this theme contacted me in the beginning and asked to use my themes, I made it clear that I allow him to use only the code but not ANY images that I designed.
The author doesn't seem to understand and claims that he changed many images, I made it clear that it's not enough and asked him to take the theme off AMO until he will replace ALL the images that I designed & ask for my permission.
As you can see below, Mozilla's editor has tried to help & gave up the informal attempts, so do I.
I hope that I included all the info necessary to identify the copyright infringement, the details I believe are additionally requested are below:

I believe in good faith that the use of the material that I claim infringes my copyright is not authorized by law, or by the copyright owner or such owner's agent; and all of the information contained in my DMCA Notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I am the owner of the exclusive copyright right that is being infringed.
