InterWebUK Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hi, all I have noticed mainly because this stupid idiot who copied my page left my live support javascript embeded so they showed up in kayako system. There website is http://my.capeverdehosting.com/index.php and my billing system is http://www.interwebdirect.co.uk/billing How can I find out there host information and shut them down? Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgrayban Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 huh ? I don't see anything remotely considered to be a *copyright* (spelled correctly) issue here --- both sites are using the WHM portal so other then that nothing is the same.

InterWebUK Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Are you blind, the whole center of the page is copied from my site, the header background image is mine, the footer is a modified version of mine, the highlight colors are the same. And top it all off, the guy left my kayako live support tracking code embeded so i can see whenever someone is on his website, so if thats not copying what is, go onto his site and I will request a chat with you to prove it Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgrayban Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 WTF ?? You are on drugs mate...... the Powered by WHMCompleteSolution is embedded in there website source code -- I looked and second that portal colour is the friggin default for it. I'll bet you will look at my WHM portal and say I stole your **** too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgrayban Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 BTW there is a law called "fair usage" and graphics fall under that clause unless you post on your website that all images are copyright and you should also embed that copyright in all images then --- as for any *copyright* violations there aren't any and you are wasting your time on this.

InterWebUK Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 So why is it in my support center (kayako live support) saying that people are visiting his site, have you not checked his frigging page source, or are you dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgrayban Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Hold on Nancy Drew........... You stated........ How can I find out there host information and shut them down?

bear Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 BTW there is a law called "fair usage" and graphics fall under that clause You need to look up "fair use" instead of posting your interpretation of it. You are not allowed to simply take graphics from another site and use them as your own (WHMCS graphics set and paid software icons excluded). "Fair use" is when those graphics are used in depicting, linking to or describing the originating source, not used independently of the originating site for other purposes. As for copyright? The act of publishing an original work on the internet imparts copyright to the creator at the time it's done, with or without implicit statement of copyright. This copyright can not then be taken over when someone re-uploads those same images again, it remains with the original creator unless implicitly stated otherwise by the original creator.

InterWebUK Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thank you bear, can you please tell me if you can see what I mean, my header background, and my icons for support homepage as I modified mine from standard whmcs ones, also the link went to my forum, if you look at page source you also see my body tag calling to preload my header images, which they have removed. They have even left my comodo script reference to show my authentic logo Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgrayban Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I still fail to see were his claims of copyright infringement are. Google keeps a cache of millions website images too..... is that a violation as well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I still fail to see were his claims of copyright infringement are. Google keeps a cache of millions website images too..... is that a violation as well ? Where did you get the images used in the WHMCS installation? As for Google, it's not violating anything because it's not "using" them as if they'd made them. They are also including the link to the sites they were found on. If you got the images from this member, I'm sure he wouldn't object to you placing links to his site from each of them as the source. if you look at page source you also see my body tag calling to preload my header images, which they have removed.]if you look at page source you also see my body tag calling to preload my header images, which they have removed. Hmm, hadn't noticed that. He's not using images with those names so the preload, which matches yours exactly, is pretty damning. Sure looks copied.

sgrayban Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 There is a slight chance John can claim copyright on this but really...... is it worth it? GoDaddy will not do a thing about it and you will end up having to get a copyright lawyer to go after this person and by the time you have chased the guy all the way to the Netherlands you could have spent that money on more profitable ways.

InterWebUK Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 yes, and the link to my forum, is also pretty damning. and his site showing as a having a visitor on my support system is more worrying, even my comodo script is referenced, which shows my site trust seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's worth it. He doesn't have to get a copyright lawyer, he only needs to submit a DMCA takedown notice to the host, and they will look it over. If they agree, they will either tell them to remove it all, or take the site off line. As for GoDaddy not doing anything? Quite to the contrary, they take these issues extremely seriously.
