    Why do people have to do this shit!

    If anyone knows who owns this domain and this person is. It would be appreciated if you could let me know. My laywer is looking for an address to send some paper work.


    This company is ripping off our company name, and even our non adult company name. They are copying verbage from our site as well as getting typo traffic from our advertising campaigns.

    www.adultdesigngroup.com



    My company is Adult Design Group. Our domain is www.adultdesigngroup.ca.
    This has been the name of my company since 1998, which you will see stated on their site now. This company has not been around since 1998.

    Some of our clients include: Video Secrets, Randy Blue, JUB Media, Just Us Boys, Pride Bucks, Adult Check, Tri Tech Internet (Cyber Age, UGAS TV), Chi Chi LaRue, Male Flixxx, AsianGuys.com, Falcon XXX, Global Male Pass, Man Sites, South Beach Media, Vibe Media, and many many more.

    I am sure many of my clients and friends will vouge for this.

    I am tired of scammers and bullshitters coming into this industry to rip off other peoples work and names.

                      he's got the .com .. you should have gotten it .. it sucks but...

                      is he stealing text from your site or just the same name because to be honest if i thought of a company name and the .com was available i wouldn't even look at anything else other then the .net maybe .. and with that domain what other type of site would you expect it to be ..

                          Please, you really think that is an orignal name and you are the first to use it?

                                          Why would you build a site around anything but .com is a better question.

                                              Because.. I was foolish And liked .ca being Canadian.

                                              Obviously a mistake. We live and learn.

                                                  I hope that's not levelled at my comments, I'm not trying to give you the gears here, I'm trying to see if you stand a hope in hell of doing anything about your dilema.


                                                  Because this very well may be one of those cases where you have to say "Shit, I wish I'd reg'd the .com when I had the chance" and just learn to deal with the consequences.

                                                  If you trademarked your company name that could change everything though.

They knew what they were doing when they registered it, especially when they found out you existed. Some think that is okay, but we all take it personal when it happens to us.

                                                                                          Good luck finding them so you can work it out.

That's the way things work. Don't like it? Maybe you should just work out your deal yourself then and leave it off the board.

                                                                                              Some of us were only trying to help. And no one is "defending" the copying of a site, if that is what has indeed happened.

Was there anything on that domain? If not you should just try to buy the domain from them (if you can locate them).

                                                                                                                                  Hope you can wrest the domain from the squatters...

                                                                                                                                                              Sounds good. Is there anyone on their end we all need to avoid doing business with?

                                                                                                                                                              Because when all is said and done that was a pretty shady thing they pulled on you, and it's a shame when these things get buried and forgotten, and then a few months later someone else is on here with a similar complaint against the same guy or company.
