No wonder this industry suffers from content theft.
 
Had a client come to us with a complaint that there site hold been stolen and all the details.

Looked into it and what the scum bag thief had done was to just lift the free site and content and change the URLs to where the traffic went. The arsehole even had the cheek to end his domain in the name of the stolen site, like this.

www.scumbagssite.com/where-he-stole-it..php

My customer contacted the Sponsor and the hosting company. The hosting company told her to send a DMCA the sponsor ignored her. So she got onto me.

I contacted them and to their credit they both said they would investigate it. They then came back and reported they had given the thief 48 hours to remove the stolen content.

The sponsor did nothing to upset his flow of traffic, hope the scumbag rips him off as well down the line.

Until someone gets it together to sue these people for profiting from theft it will go on like this and we will be classified as a high-risk business.

Top Bucks.

They gave him another 48 hours to continue stealing, after the victim had told them.

Nice way to do business, ethics, morals and honesty or clicks?

Well why bother buying it and making up a gallery when all you have to do is go and steal it along with the HTML code?

Better than sponsors content then.
