Why are you on here complaining about it? Do something. Hire a lawyer and get it fixed. If you think it's as clear-cut as you make it sound, skip the lawyer and take direct action.
Moaning to a bunch of grumpy programmers is only going to get you advice like that.
- BryanB55 14y agoA lawyer probably isn't worth the time or money to them. I know how they feel. We constantly have people ripping off our website and design work. Sometimes the best method is just to call them out on it and honestly, they deserve to be publicly humiliated for stealing someone else's work and claiming it as their own. Maybe if more people publicly speak out people will learn that it is not ok. It specially sucks when you are the one that created something and put all of your effort into it and then see someone outright copy your work and use it as their own.
- natrius 14y agoPublic shaming, especially among the community involved, is often quite effective.
- oliwarner 14y agoMore effective than spending 30 minutes to take the site down with a DMCA? This is exactly what they're supposed to be used for. I don't see how giving them a whole load of PR, links and stern looks is going to fix anything given that they're unscrupulous enough to copy swathes of design and code.
