what do you do when someone steals your content/gallery?

report him to his host. send a cease and desist.

Send their host an E-mail citing the Digital Millenium Copyright act and tell them that if the site isn't taken down or content removed ASAP then you'll sue them both.



Brad

ok, silly question but how do I figure out who his host is?

gallery is dead and forcing an exe now

i would have eaten that carrot

Anyone know what that exe did or was suppose to do? I closed it as quick as I could once I seen the popups, but it almost looked like a windows help file popped up.

I'm too stupid to run antivirus software all the time.

Off to housecall.trendmicro I go.

Yeah, yeah use one of those! Send it to abuse@ their upstream provider and also to their host and also to the owner of that domain.

Good luck!

Brad

P.S. - The site is definitely still up.

There are some people on GFY responsible for it Im sure.

Nina,

Do you still have the carrot?

Check out the OPTIGATE Acceptable Use Policy...lets hope they enforce it.


The Internet can be compared to a toll superhighway where we pay to access and use a shared, pooled resource. We all must abide by certain rules in order for that resource to operate effectively and without chaos.

As a Tier One Provider OptiGate endorses and agrees to operate under certain rules and policies long established and shared by those companies operating at our core level. Many of those rules involve our monitoring and controlling our customers to prevent actions that would be disruptive to the Internet as a whole, or that would disturb the peaceful use of the Internet by other customers. To that end all operating companies are expected to have a firm Acceptable Use Policy, violation of which can cause a customer or user's privilege to be suspended.

The following is Optigate's Acceptable Use Policy:

The use of OptiGate Networks, Inc. facilities by any customer must be consistent with this Acceptable Use Policy.

The account holder is responsible for the actions of account users. The ultimate responsibility for traffic that does or does not conform to this policy is with the account holder who originates that traffic and all consequences lie with that individual. OptiGate Networks, Inc. cannot and will not assume any responsibility for information transferred by anyone other than an owner, agent, or employee of OptiGate Networks, Inc.

The following are unacceptable use of OptiGate Networks, Inc. resources:

It is not acceptable to use OptiGate Networks, Inc. for any purposes, which violate local, state, U.S. or International law.

· Propagation of computer worms or viruses.
· Using the network to make, or to attempt to make, unauthorized entry to other computing, information, or communications devices or resources.
· Mail abuse (including, but not limited to, mass mailing unsolicited e-mail and e-mail forgery) and usenet news abuse (including, but not limited to, mass crossposting articles and posting unrelated to group topics), whether direct or indirect, whether used externally to promote a site at OptiGate Networks, Inc. or sent via OptiGate Networks, Inc.
· use of OptiGate Networks, Inc.'s facilities to commit network abuse (including, but not limited to, denial of service attacks such as ping bombing, e-mail bombing, "smurf", "winnuke", "land", "teardrop", etc.) or otherwise compromise the security of hosts or networks.
· Any use which interferes with the server's ability to function in its primary purpose of publishing web documents and/or providing storage and communications services for its customers.
· Any use which exceeds the contracted traffic or storage commitments purchased by the user.
· Storage of, or transmission of, data which is not legal under any applicable US law. The account holder is solely responsible for determining the legality of all data which is stored or transmitted by them.

OptiGate Networks, Inc., or a party designated by OptiGate, will review any alleged violation of this Acceptable Use Policy on a case-by-case basis. Violations of the policy that are not promptly remedied by the relevant customer may result in the expulsion of the customer from OptiGate Networks, Inc. and termination of all OptiGate Networks, Inc. services, and forfeiture of all monies paid to OptiGate Networks, Inc. to date. OptiGate Networks, Inc. reserves all rights to determine violations and corrective actions.
