Rick M.,
This is real bummer and I?m totally empathetic. I will lend you the same advice that you gave me when someone ripped off our last site, ClimaxCorner. ?In this industry someone is always going to steal your ideas, you can?t stop them. The only way that you can beat them is to continue to innovate.? I don?t know what improvements you are currently working on but I?m sure whatever they are that CJ could steal your whole site and they still couldn?t compete with you. It doesn?t make it right, but you get the idea.
As for CJ, I think that it?s really a classless move and totally below a company that is profitable, has money to reinvest into their company, and can easily afford to pay someone to come up with some original ideas, especially at Filipino rates:-). You would expect this from a newbie, but I think that it?s totally unacceptable from an established company in the industry, one that is trying to be a leader. It?s so freaking easy to make money in this industry by playing it straight, I don?t understand why anyone needs to resort to cheating and stealing.
I really hope that there is an explanation for this?
