Jesus christ! Is that for real?

Speechless...have you mailed the perps? Need help?

GRRRRRR!!!!

Ripppers!

*Gets out tomahawk*

Let's go on the warpath!

On the other hand...it's just driving more business to your site, right? I mean, they are just directing more people to your site (at least, that's what it looks like...).

Well, if you need help...just let me know.

We have to make like César with the Gales: Attack before they can even think it!!!!!!!

There's something very familiar about this. Yes...Well Allgood2 I got you confused with plain old Allgood. So hit me.

Are we talking about the *same* people doing he *same* rip?

Displaying my ignorance here. Is the rip in fact being hosted by dreamhost? If it is, cannot the host, immediately remove it?

Man, that's almost surreal.

What's the point of taking someone's work in toto, posting it with no changes, and then directing traffic to the original site? If they are rippers they have to be the most incompetent rippers ever...

Enjoy the free advertising, allgood2!

PS. Love the butterfly! (for obvious reasons)

mz only concern with this is that the url bar never changes, but in the status bar you can see where the source is coming from, so someone with less savvy could be led to believe this work is from the aptech company. Then in effect they would be using your designs to sell their services.

WTFUCK!?! This is getting ridiculous!! I would really like to know what measures can possibly be taken to eliminate this bullshit....?? I don't like the idea of governing the internet, but surely there should be something that *helps* prevent people from STEALING YOUR STOREFRONT!! Has anything been documented on a ripper stealing, for example, a Fortune 500 company's site? What goes on there?
