Webdeveloper threads being hijacked!!!!

coothead

Hi there all forum Administrators,

This site...

http://www.naijafinder.com/html-discussion-forum/

... is hijacking threads from various forums including Webdeveloper.com. :eek:

OMG! The evil germs! :eek:

Steve_R_Jones

The page loading there is so horribly slow that I could get anything to open and check it out. OH WELL...

Max_Pen

It looks bad...

brad_jones

Can you help me out. Can you give me a few examples of a thread URL here and a thread URL there that are the same? That way I can show how they've violated copyright and stolen threads.

Thanks!

(I'll try to take a look at this tomorrow if nobody has a chance to do it before then.)

Brad!

No problem, you're very welcome.

Let's just hope that you can nail the buggers.

Hi there Steve,

have you had any luck with those miscreants?

Good question... I'm a freelancer who reports things like this to Brad Jones... (who's an "Editor in Chief" kind of guy.) Just sent him an email to see if he heard back from the bad boys.

Steve_R_Jones

Apparently they haven't replied back to the emails that have been sent to them.

coothead

Hi there Steve,

... they haven't replied...

No surprises there.

Does Brad have a "Plan B" then?

coothead

brad_jones

Plan b was to publicly post on their board asking that they remove our content. I've been told my post has been removed.

I'm now on Plan C

coothead

Hi there Brad,

"Plan C" will probably need to involve intercontinental ballistic missiles to be effective

Here's a screenshot of my latest post, if that will help.

We used the feedback mechanisms on your site as well as posted on your site. I'd say it isn't good that you didn't notice.

Please also remove all previously posted content.

You should note that what your site is doing (even if pulling from RSS feeds) goes way beyond fair use and well into the area of copyright violations. You might want to rethink your business model and consider syndication licensing or something else that doesn't violate copyright or other laws.

Edit: I'll add, someone on your site was aware of the issue. They removed the post I put on your site.

Brad!
