I was looking at the detailed visitor stats for my website (DannyDahl.com) and I noticed a large amount of hits from a myspace profile. Upon visiting the profile I see some mexican guy's face and text plastered all over my layout. He even used the same wording for each section on the profile. Same exact code... exactly the same.
He used a different picture of his face and slightly changed the background.

looking at the code of the profile, I see img references to like 10 images that are on my profile and hosted on my website.
my freaking Trakzor and cbtracker images are even on there! (that explains why i thought i had a million stalkers from new york all of the sudden)

aaaanyways, I'm pissed.
So before emailing him asking him politely... eff that shite this biznitch is even using this for his design myspace, showing off his work he's designed... he probably didn't do any of it.
so instead of messaging him, i sent an email to the Copyright Infringement staff of Myspace asking that all of the content be removed from the offender's profile, along with the deletion of his account if possible because I will not tolerate plagurisim.

If myspace staff is unhelpful, I'll probably try to screw over the bandwidth of his freewebs account that is hosting the 2 images that are his on the profile, and once that's done, then send him legally threatening email.

I'd link to the profile, but I don't want anyone tipping this mexican bastard off before myspace sees the profile.


Anyone else deal with this before? what did you do?

I realize that there will always be douches out there who will steal it if they can.

But this guy is using this layout on his profile that is displaying his design talent. He even said that he created the layout and has full copyright ownership. He even said something along the lines of "DON'T TRY TO STEAL MY CODE BECAUSE IT'S TOO DIFFICULT! TRUST ME!"

So if taking 20 minutes of my time which I would have spent doing absolutely nothing while listening to music in boredom, to report him and have possibly have to lose his account is well worth it to me.

that AND he has the images for a couple different trackers i use, including one i made that is hosted on my website, on his page so it has been screwing things up for a while now.

Basically... it's kinda like the people who illegally download movies and music... they get one DMCA notice from their ISP and they freak out and get scared... they won't be downloading movies/music for a long time at the least.
So if this guy gets an email from MySpace's legal copyright infringement department... it'll probably scare him into not repeating that mistake.

in my opinion, telling people to just deal with it because it happens... is kinda like telling someone who lives in a bad part of New York to just deal with their house being broken into or their car being vandalized because well.. it happens and stupid people will always do it.
