Beware Web pirates arrgghh!

very creative… I like the banana though :wink:

[color=grey][size=1]like hell I do[/size][/color]

they even stoled the clients :stuck_out_tongue: what a bunch of losers

This is so weird I’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??

Aside from it being ripped, its an incredible design.

Can I use it too???

what did you key in to find this site?

Yahoo.com > maxdefinition

too bad you couldn’t drop in a suicide.swf file that will eraticate the actionscripting on their end. and set it up so where they wouldn’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 course… 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(you’ll have to create it in their language of course), and just put up some kind of ‘criminal’ 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 ‘site creation company’.

or just burn their house down.

my jaw just fell down on watching the pirated ones…gosh, no liberty, creativity, *** sue them, man its disgusting…not a frame edited.

even if the host takes down the site, the people have no respect for your work, cant design a site for themselves, and will probably just get a new host. So my advice would be to take legal action, or take a flight to malaysia. :slight_smile:

those dirty bass terds

i would hire a uber hacker to take them out lol, that would be awesome;)

lol, hehe :smiley:

did you guys get any response to your letters?

don’t let he/she/them get away with something like that!

Those weenies.

Nope, no replies to any email whatsoever.

Man, that’s annoying.

The trouble with them being in Malysia is that you’ll have to sue over there if that’s going to be the end of it. And Malaysian - not US - copyright law will apply. It may even be legal to copy a website in Malaysia. But I hope you can get their host to shut it down.

Btw., ‘pisang’ means banana in malay as far as I know. Anyone know that terrible green drink called ‘Pisang Ambon’? That’s made from bananas.

The above should be taken with a grain of salt. I’m not a lawyer. I just play one on TV.

joining this thread late but that is amazing, they’ve completly copied the site…I’m shocked that anyone would do that. I’m shocked anyone would want to do that. Geez.

I wouldn’t count on malaysian law to help fix this one, seems a bit of a lost cause.
How about sending them a virus…or is that to childish :wink:

just looking at the pirates site and I just realised that they’re saying they’re clients include Macromedia and Phillips but obviously they ain’t

Isn’t there someway to incure the wrath of your clients on to these b******s :h:

If you don’t want to pester your clients with this, how about getting a friend to send an anonymous mail to them.

Is there anything they changed at all? If its a straight .swf without any changes, obviously every email sent to him will be sent to the owner, pixi…

“Btw., ‘pisang’ means banana in malay as far as I know. Anyone know that terrible green drink called ‘Pisang Ambon’? That’s made from bananas.

AH! :stuck_out_tongue:

I never knew it was made from bananas, it tases like… well… u know :slight_smile:

great in drinks, but on it’s own… yucko! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

In this case its quite obvious because they didn’t bother changing any of the content…but in the event that you find that someone has ripped your design, how do you go about proving you had the design first. Sure its easy to send them a cease-and-desist letter with legal action being threatened, but whats to stop someone from saying it was originally there design and you ripped them? How do you prove it was yours before theres?
