And get assraped no doubt.

I would say "quit while you're ahead", but since everyone now realizes you have no clue what the fuck you're babbling on about, I guess you have nothing to lose.

Carry on.

am i "stealing content" by quoting you?

In order to get said content, one needs to actually click a link and go to... brace yourself for this one... GFY. He is merely telling people that there is something on GFY that they may find interesting, and thus bringing traffic to GFY.

Dude, you're on crack. No content is being stolen, the content is being linked to. Go bark up Yahoo News' tree if you have a crusade. I don't remember lensman announcing he hired your sorry ass as his in-house counsel.

Thats funny you say that.

What other content have you stolen?

Do you think you could come up with a cute little application that steals pictures from pages too?

I don't see who anyone could equate this with stealing content. It's simply a desktop app that displays links to the topics on the board. You can't read the posts without going to the board, and if you hit the board you see all the wonderful ads.

What content is being stolen?

Are you accusing me of theft?

Ad Impressions are delivered every time a page is loaded through a web browser. He is taking page RELOADS from GFY and putting them into his little appy.

He is stealing traffic from this site and then using the site to distribute the software meant to take those ad impressions away.

I'm not anyone's counsel bub. Why dont you show me some of your sites so i can start using your content in an unauthorized way?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Ya, dude... chill out.

Ok, that's it.. get back in the box...

if you use that application, you are stealing content.

what a little prick Mr Popup is. Nice job on the ticker. As long as he's not going to start selling ads on it, it's a good thing for GFY. Hell, he should make a little deal with Gorny on it so it could have sponsor ads/links on it.

if lensman actually gets mad about it, how about adding code in the program to scroll ad's across the bottom in text form?

If I had a high trafficked site. and someone built an application meant to steal my traffic...id be pissed and i think you would be too.

Its right here....

http://www.educause.edu/issues/dmca.html

Read the DMCA...im not making this up children.

Yup...and once again Lensman loses control over his brand

http://www.educause.edu/issues/dmca.html

Read the DMCA

It is theft. Blame your Government.

suck. me. off.

this is dmca act is U.S. Law only, yes?

Last time I checked Detroit was in the USA. Unless the Gibraltar Trade Center was suddenly moved to Windsor or something....

Geez, excuse me for being familiar with the law in a country I do business with....

Show me your ite.....Come on...Let me take some of your content.

put your money where your mouth is.

Don't you have some conspiracy over in Lower Slobovia to dig up?

You know whats funny.. this whole thread just gave me an idea for a project (that whoever wants it can take it) that would be a little borderline scandalous... though I think if the forum admins were smart they would embrace it, since, ultimately it would mean more impressions.


But someone should make a ticker program like this and have it stream headlines for ALL of the active forums, ie GFY, Oprano, PornIsBad.. I'm sure there are more that are pretty active.

Then of course, you could run your little button banner at the top (AOL AIM client style) & generate a little money off selling the ads or something.


:1orglaugh... so who wants to bet on how many of these forum streamers will pop up now?

He's not even got the DMCA right. Several sites, Free Republic being the most notorious, have won or settled lawsuits allowing them to reproduce content under 'fair use' provisions.

In the case of FR, all of their content comes from articles reproduced.. without the ads.. from the big 3 news sites.

this isn't about detoit...i'm just asking you that if i were in say Afghanistan...and i quoted you, would i be stealing content then?

Whatever........ im sure the kid who designed the app and lensman have lots of time to settle it in court.

:1orglaugh They're going to court now eh?

When you start talking about webmasters using this app to save time (meaning save money) it becomes clear that this application is commercial in nature regardless if it is sold or not.

Doesn't the beav have any in house guys you could hit up?

Why do people ALWAYS have to find something to bitch about. :321GFY

It's like a roomfull of old ladies sometimes.

I'm starting to smell DVD here.

You're right here...

we need a new version

My Turn.....


gornyhuy

Email at michael at adult.com we need to talk.....

Guess what?

You're now on my list with MonkeyMan and LucLonely. My standards are very, very low. Think limbo.

Wake up call; this is coming from a software engineer: You don't seem to have any comprehension of software, web services, syndication, desktop clients, or the DMCA.

Its called respect for Intellectual Property. Sorry you can't comprehend THAT but it happens to be the foundation of this business.

I'll listen to a lawyer before I'll listen to a guy with a CS degree. Aren't they giving those away now?

gornyhuy if you need legal advises, i can bring you in contact with LucLonely

<sigh>

Just a guess but I bet the people that use this actually see MORE ads. I know I only check the first page on GFY. If I see topics scrolling I am interested in I am more likely to end up here. :2 cents:

It isn't illegal to build such software. It's illegal not to take it down if Adult.com decide they don't like it. Since I don't see Lensman complaining, I think you can probably calm down.
