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? |

The bottom line is that it is indeed possible to take someone to court over a situation such as this. You would have to be crazy to be willing to pay the legal fees, but who knows, the person you could have stolen from could be a spoiled kid with a rich lawyer daddy.
So the threat of taking legal actions works, as it should. Monster, my layouts suck? I don't have any layouts for free use on createblog.com... the only layout I have visible anywhere right now is the one on my profile, and I would like to think it doesn't "suck" since it won MySpace of the Month a few months back. And even if it did suck, I put my hard work, effort, and time into creating it, so it should still bother me if someone steals it. If you were a painter... and you were painting in public at a park. You suck.. you are absolutely horrible.. but you spend hours and hours painting a scene. Upon finishing the painting, someone walks up and takes a picture of the painting without asking or even talking to you. You then find this person's website where they are claiming to have painted that piece and are using it in their design portfolio.. but you shouldn't care because it sucks right? |

I wouldn't give a shit because it was a shitty drawing. I'd know that if I kept practicing, I'd get better. They can have my shitty layo-er...painting. I'll make better ones. The fact that you're pissed about your shitty layout and that you think this is your magnum opus, then you fail at webdesign, or art in general. And, I did have an "S" on my "layout," bitch. |
