:mad Marc Womak & Rick Latona - Give me a break!!!!!

This isn't meant to cause unecessary drama... this is a serious accusation and it got me boiled to the point where I want it to be exposed!!

Since I don't post much, I'm Rick M (formerly RickYNOT), founder and owner of The Best Porn: http://www.thebestporn.com/ ... I've advertised on CJ (with Womak) in the past, and have done a lot of domain business with Latona in the past. Hell, I even attended one of the "Dollars.com" demos because I respected Latona so much.

Recently I visited your new review site PornSavvy.com, which was posted/linked from CJ. I found a few similarities to our site (pros/cons text format, review highlight text format, site facts with same format, etc). We've been imitated by many other review sites, and usually I don't say anything. I even would have exchanged links, and never said a word. I don't worry about little stuff.

However, today I found other more blatant copyright infringement. I'll post screen captures if I need to, but I'll let the initial GFY crowd see for themself:

1. Stolen Avatars
- http://www.pornsavvy.com/review.php?reviews_id=216 (Scroll to 2nd review, Spencer's icon is from our site)
- http://www.pornsavvy.com/review.php?reviews_id=218 (Scroll to 1st review, Vanessa's icon is from our site)
*I noted that in the image url your icons are "temp", but bottom line is it's still copyright infringement.

2. Same Profiles
- http://vanessa.thebestporn.com/ (our site)
- http://www.pornsavvy.com/staff.php (porn savvy's interpretation)

3. Text Copy
-"Our team works hard to ensure fair and accurate reviews. To view their profile, click their respective icon."
top of http://www.pornsavvy.com/staff.php , taken from top of http://www.thebestporn.com/home.html .

I'll let the GFY audience judge how bad this is...

I never wanted to rain on your parade of the new review site, and honestly I was looking forward to the launch. I'm good friends with a lot of other review site owners, and enjoy the friendly competition. I'm pretty upset by what I've seen so far, but I'll hold any other judgements until I hear from you. Please post your response.

Rick M
