...but then gets pissy because somebody combined his facepack with others, renamed files so they all work together for his own personal use, was suggested by DD that he post it for all and sundry (since it is a useful tool) and says "Thank you to the people who's facepacks were used", that there's a double standard there?
With or without saying what either of them did was WRONG, denying that the actions taken are roughly the same is a reach at best.

LL went out and got photos from websites. Said photos were used to identify real players from real teams. LL takes said photos, puts countless hours into removing logos and re-sizing them, so he can use them for a completely different purpose. He then distributed his work to a grateful community who would use them for the same purpose as he. He then writes with his facepack "I didn't take these photos, I just edited them". Pretty explicit.
SkyDog went out and got other peoples work. He then re-named them and used them for exactly the same purpose. He then re-distributed them to the same community and glossed over the other people with a simple "thanks".
Trying to say that those actions are comparable is beyond a reach. It's absurd.
