that was good?

this thread sure is getting a lot of attention... i bet if i had a swoit sig, i could pay for cochran

love to know who the "designer" is !
:glugglug

In the past I hired a technical/marketing writer for a couple mainsteam sites.

It was never published on the web because it was complete shit and I lost a couple hundred bucks in the deal.

I learned a lesson though about writing websites...if you want it done right..do it yourself.

:2 cents:

just someone that lives in baton rouge with me

i sent cheekycherry an email explaining everything

well if he can get one of his friends to play the 'designer' it might work.

or hire a pro with references/portfolio

Another Brad, and there's a Brad in this post replying... I'm Brad. How many friggin Brads are there on this forum?

good point lol

However, I would have thought the..

"my employee did it" would have been better :1orglaugh

Yep.

Good writers are hard to come by.

I have yet to see one with a 'real' portfolio of technical writings.

I'm sure they're out there...I have yet to find them though.

Lol.... It's time to make some money then.......

My thoughts exactly...

Ok, Listen up Mr Brad Sommers.

The last 24 hours have been very unproductive for me. My whole Sunday was taken up waiting for you to reply, emailing various people, making calls and preparing basics of a case for our legal representatives to take up today (Monday).

I don't like this kind of blatant theft and it simply CANNOT go on! It must be stopped and that is what I intend to do.

I DO NOT believe your excuse for a minute, and secondly neither would the courts - and you know it.

Copyright law is primarily a civil law, and therefore you may be happy to hear that however this turns out, you are unlikely to receive Jail time. Having said that, I do fully intend to seek compensation/damages for this blatant disregard for my company's product and promotional literature and the laws in place to protect it.

You claim in your email that you have made NO profits from the website, but you also claim that in your original thread:

"it's converting 1:35-1:45"

Bragging about a conversion ratio on a site you have never made a sale of? So you were dishonest right there to the whole of the GFY webmaster community, correct?

Proving you have not made any money from the site will also not be a defense, nor would it be a concern to me.

However dishonest you appear to be as an individual, I DO believe that you have NOT made any money from that site. However much *quality* work you try to steal and use as your own, turning profits from any website isn't easy. It takes skill, knowledge and a level of understanding of certain concepts you have proved you cannot grasp.

We can discuss via email, the possibilities open to you for dealing with this outside of the courts. If no reasonable and compensatory conclusion is obtained, my company will be filing for a civil lawsuit against you.

On a personal level, the way I see it is, this is an open and shut case. YOU are in the wrong, and any action would see my company as the damaged party and therefore compensated. It is now YOUR choice as to whether you want me to step up to the plate and prove my word that this CAN go all the way, or you want to sort it out WITHOUT the courts.

Please be warned, this is a VERY serious case of copyright infringement and this is how my company is treating it.

This has been posted on GFY and emailed to you. I await your response Mr Sommers.

Wrong... If you get sued, it will be coming out of yours. I believe you MAY then be able to sue him for your loss. You are unlikely to win.

I'm sorry to tell you this (again, not really hoping to educate you)...

You promoted the business as YOURS, profit or loss is 100% yours.

Dude, he pulled the site. Isn't that what you wanted? Your goal?
Good luck trying to prove damages....You will spend $1000's trying to do it, as opposed to the $20 he made. If that. :2 cents:

i believe he took his lesson......hopefully

I agree, it would have been better :winkwink:
but still not a defense due to the law of Vicarious Liability. You are Vicariously Liable for actions of your employees.

Yes.

But I believe metaphorically it's like the kid that steals a candy bar. He steals 5, and gets away with it.

His 6th candy bar, he gets caught.

The shop keeper lets him off after telling him how bad he has been.

He is caught stealing from the shop next door the next day.

No kidding. Cheekycherry, I was reading this thread and was about to post support for your side of the issue but now you're acting like a fool.

1) This is not a "very serious" case of anything. It's no more serious than any other of the billion copyright infringements that happened this week in the adult industry.
2) You wanted the site down, the site is down.
3) You're strutting and threatening and acting tough and everyone knows you're full of shit. You won't get a nickle from this guy and you know it. The site went up, the site went down. There is no way you will convince anyone that you have suffered any damage. Certainly not a judge or jury.

You caught a scammer and you knocked him out. Now let the testosterone drain away and go back to work.

SpaceAce

Yup. :)

Ok, I will take your advice. Maybe you are right. A sleepless night can sometimes do that to ya :glugglug

This issue is now off the board.

sanity restored :)
