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've had this happen before, I didn't do anything I just removed the images from my website and changed the image names around and re-hosted them so who ever was using the layout, their myspace officially looks f**ked up.

_smile.gif Myspace staff isn't helpful, I do agree. They never help you and I think I've only been able to contact them and get a response once..

Personally I wouldn't care to much I guess, I write a copyright on the images and stuff and then the copyrights are imagemapped so their links back to my myspace or website anyway. shrug.gif

rofl that's really funny!

I really don't care if my stuff gets jocked - actually, I usually put up a notice that's like "hey feel free to use this for whatever you want, I don't give a shit". I'm just completely carefree when it comes to that sort of thing I guess.
