Ordinathorreur thanks for the link-- I think we just gave these guys loads of free traffic LOL. Anyway I have loads more designs up my sleeve ( just have to encrypt the files in future) Encrypting them unfortunately doesnā€™t stop many ppl anymore. What you can do though is call externally loaded swfsā€¦ rippers seem to have troubles w/ those šŸ™‚ then again thatā€™s what you may have already done. ---

I donā€™t think thatā€™ll stop people with an decompiler from reading your code and seeing what external swfs you used ā€¦ ---

This is so weird Iā€™m almost thinking their website is just a hack. Since the content is basically the same, maybe its done as sort of a joke, sort of a site we ripped off of the week kind of thing?? ---

too bad you couldnā€™t drop in a suicide.swf file that will eraticate the actionscripting on their end. and set it up so where they wouldnā€™t know which swf file was causing the problem. even drop in a few duplicates, and decoys in case they want to try and figure out what the problem is. that would be a cool way to keep others from ripping your work off. of courseā€¦ you would have to find out a way of making that possible. other than that you could just register a bunch of content from their site as websearch criteria for your own. send some of their customers your way to a dummy site(youā€™ll have to create it in their language of course), and just put up some kind of ā€˜criminalā€™ warning image up there so where ever their users go to no matter to their site or your own dummy site they will feel like the company is too risky to do business with. odds are they charged some one else to produce the site. i figure the pirates are posing as a ā€˜site creation companyā€™. ---
