Ok, this is really starting to tick me off. We even got an apology e-mail from the guy (after Bob wrote him a not-so-nice e-mail) apologizing and saying he had just put it up temporarily and hadn't listed it with search engines or anything because he was gonna change it. Hate to do this, but it's time to mail the guys at K10k

Who am I kidding, glad to do it..

I sent an email to every one of the addresses they gave. This email:

"I really like Phong. Will you rip that site and stick it up and pretend that its mine.

You could even use an auto maximize script so that my rip will be plastered over every single inch of my screen?

That would be really cool."

I think we need to start a site (or a page at a site) listing the "rippers", with screen shots. Maybe some public humiliation would help....

Yah, I missed the "taken down" version, it's up and running for me. There's several calls for .js files that are wrong, Netscape jumps to those pages and say "not found", but in IE it's still there. Here's a cool link for finding everything about somebody, primarily aimed at spammers, but it works well for these situations too...

Pugly: something like http://www.pirated-sites.com/ ?

i e-mailed the guy there last night, we'll see when he puts it up. And the site was down at some point, I'm wondering if we just crashed his server...

Megawebservers.com is the host, and their main page is an abuse page.

abuse@megawebservers.com <abuse@megawebservers.com>

And that would be the address that would be the one in questions. I believe this pup went through them for everything because meganameserver.com is his Domain Name Provider as well.

Not 100% sure of this, but this is where I got hopped to. I would be more sure if I could figure out what is going on with their website, looks like it is only a couple of pages.

Hit where it hurts ladies and gents. My message has been sent.

Worth millions!

Let me know!

PS if you read the copyright laws it also states that if you change any
content by 70% as a hole, it is no longer copyrighted! Also if you even try
to sue .. looks like you are in a lot of trubble because spaming is also
illegal and herasment is to (all the voice messages and email) Oh so is
slander You can only be sued if the content is 100% the same, also I
did'nt copy your site I re-drawed it, I have all the psd files to prove it.
got-it. We can get along or what ever, maybe we can team up together to offer
hosting its the best around!

Give me one phone call or an email,think about all the money we can make
working together! I know you hate me but I'll alwas be around so we all need
to cope with it. If your not interested than maybe I will think about taking
the site down. "EH!"

See ya!

I once knew a pornking who used to sue people regularly over theft of his content and he used the following method. He would:

a) Take a screenshot
b) videotape the offending site with a witness present, (for court later)
c) let the people know that on copyright charges you have to appear in federal court in the locale of the holder of the copyright

He has an insanely intimidating canned e-mail that his lawyer wrote up that really puts the fear of god in the websheep who would infringe. Sounds like these guys are unrepentant and dont know thing one about the law. Go get em pank.
