Wow, someone ripped off my site.....literally

[Guest jslicer]

Quick Update:

 

Well, looks like they took the site down this morning Netherlands time as all the nasty guestbook messages piled up during the day here in the States. Either way, I have plenty of screengrabs of the ripoff and will post them if anyone wants to see. Better than that, i took a screengrab movie - side by side comparison of my site to the knockoff site. What's really sad was that i found out by looking at the guestbook entries that the site had been up since early February and no one had noticed it. I think whoever built it probably almost thought they were gonna get away with it. But it only takes one person to notice for a site like this to go down. I wish i could hear the phonecall this morning between djactivator and his supposed web design company. Funny thing is I used to live in Holland - where a ton of great design is created all the time. Sad to think that this had to come from a country with so much talent. Anyways, check out the movie here:

 

Side_by_Side_Comparison Movie is 2.5 minutes with audio and is 15 MBs - so be a wee bit patient

 

thanks to all that posted here and on the guestbook. ya'llz got my back!

so i'm a mographer that's had my site up for a while

 

mn8studio.com

 

i got an e-mail today about this site from a dj in the netherlands

 

djactivator.com

 

can't believe how literally they ripped off my site. obviously they got all the stuff with some sort of flash decompiler. if you'd like to send an e-mail to the design studio taking credit for this blatant rip off site, i'd totally appreciate it. i put alot of hard work into this site for someone to come along and take the literal finished piece and try to resell it to one of their clients.

 

here's the design studio:

 

Extranza

 

and their e-mail design@extranza.com

wow, what a total rip. sorry man, that sux. they def. used a flash decompiler on that.

[Guest biggieboy]

WHOA! That is damn sickening. I love how they still have the option of going to the "Normal Site" even though there is no other option. That kind of shit makes me sick. On the plus side, that is a really kick-ass site you did, it's unfortunate there are such dishonest people out there.

 

 

Let's flood their inbox.

[Guest jslicer]

totally! if you click on the bottom link on the main navigation under guestbook, you can see the comments already coming about it being a total rip off. i doubt the site will be up for long if they have any common sense.

[Guest biggieboy]

I can just picture it: "WOW! Good news DJ Dickhead, your site got 2 million hits last night!!!.....oh.....wait.....aw shit."

[Guest jslicer]

They have some really good work over there at Struck

 

As far as the douchebag collective over in the Netherlands, it seems that they can't design for s@*t so they go around stealing peoples hard work. Just look thru some more of the other fairy Dj sites they have.

 

Assholes!

Oh shit. This has happened to Nextseason too.

Now DJ Activator also has a place at pirated-sites.com

[Guest superegophobia]

i'm looking into what can be done about this to take action. everyone else's thoughts?

Maybe 'accidentally' enter their email in random spam mailing lists.... a few adult sites here, a few penis enlargement emails there....

[Guest jaan]
