asteroidblitz 12 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I've had this site going for the last couple of years: www.telephonenglish.com and I have just noticed that a friggin copy has just sprung up here: three 'w' shindig-jp dot com (don't want any trackbacks to this message) As you will see, it's a replica which has stolen vast amounts of text, images and even staff names! My site is hardly big business, and is probably only useful for the CV, so I cannot afford a lawyer. Any idea how I can nail the cyber-thief? Furious :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Probably paid soemone to design their website for them and they've searched for ideas, found yours and blatantly ripped it off. Contact them and tell them the images etc are copyrighted and so is the design, see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteroidblitz 12 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Thanks Hugh Mailed them a few hours ago. No reply yet. Doubt if I'll get one. I think the best method is spamming his guestbook for now. He's probably a big fan of Keane and Quinn, if it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I like your idea of changing the picture for a cock. Perhaps an image of some good 'manly loving' should adorne their site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I like your idea of changing the picture for a cock. Perhaps an image of some good 'manly loving' should adorne their site! you should switch on the hotlink protection if you have it. That way if hes got other pics linked then you could end up totally screwing the look of his site. or try this one...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteroidblitz 12 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 This has potential to be GOLD! Will keep you informed of developments. He's based in Japan, so he should be waking up to this soon. Hope the first thing he does is check his webstats. He'll think he's got loads of punters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
