They just don't stop...maynstream media this time

It's maynstream media this time...

It's pretty shady to copy someone's website content, but it's even worse when it is supposed to be a marketing firm that copies someone's website content. http://72.167.159.36/main/

A DCMA has already been filed. Really, can't people just do their own damn work and stop stealing what other people have produced?

They even put a copyright notice on their site after stealing our content.

I can't check the site at work. Do they give a client list? Send the clients your link.

That was my first thought. No client list though. I did call them this morning however, and tell them that they had untill close of business today to remove it or I would publish the info about this everywhere and see to it that everyone knows how they conduct their business.

Wow. They have balls. I hope they get the message and learn to come up with their own content.

Kudos to you for not letting them get away with it.

Well, I'm impressed. Go Daddy really has their act together...not suprising since the CEO is a US Marine

There really has to be a hidden camera somewhere...these morons went ahead and modified our content slightly, and then put it right back up.

I guess it time to break out the games...

Hey, if anyone has a blog, would you mind posting a link to the thread here on GDF? This thread already ranks #4 for their company name
