Should I sue him?
 

This fucker stole our design! :feels-hot

If you didn't visited our site, this is our:
www.adultcontent.ca

And this is the fucker design:
http://www.amacontent.com/

I think I'm gonna call my lawyer monday... :BangBang:

I was going to send that to you my friend. That is Joe Lauglin and Steve Marco. I thought you guys where partners.
Fred add me to your ICQ . my ICQ is 45771964

Dont sue him yet I am spanking one off over some of his pictures...give in a few more days...drop him a friendly email ...he will change...back in 10 minutes...

did you contact them and ask them to explain it?

i'd call their host first.

Some people I tell ya, have no shame!
Did you read their legal info? (amacontent)

you should send him an email,
and request ( demand )
that he cahnges his site design,
that usually works.

they are not exactly the same, plus yours is better, so what's the problem.

exactly what I was gonna say, but opted for the sensitive approach first..... cuz I'm fuckin' sensitive to people's needs......

It's obvious he used your site as the inspiration for his, but the only thing that remains exactly the same is the background colour.

I don't think you could sue and win, because he's made too many changes.

Yours looks 10 times better anyway.

Those 2 sites look nothing alike. They have the same style of layout but are for sure different. I have seen about 3000 sites that have this same color setup and layout.

Even if they copied the layout of your site their is nothing you can do about it. At that the quality of your site is much higher so why even waist money on a lawyer?

ok..finished spanking...sue the fucker

seriously.... you got nothin' man.... if you even TRY to sue, you're just flushing cash down the shitter..... best you can do is ask them to change it.... not that they will, but you can try. The sites are too different for you to have any kind of case.

For a start there is no flash on his site, they are miles apart.

You have got no chance, he liked your layout and followed similar lines, thousands of sites do the same.

heh its a pretty similar design, damn he has some cheap content! hrmm :)


or that one video isnt 10 and its a typo meaning 100, thought i hit a goldmine for a sec

You might be able to get them onthe combination of the clearly over-similar name and similar look...

If I had a red and yellow burger joint with a giant W for a logo, and called it MacGregor's, my ass would be grass. Even if it isn't outright copying, you can get them for clearly aping your material.

Yours looks much better than his. Don't waste your money suing him.

And, you just placed your competition under the spotlight - smart move :)

the only thing I see that's the same is the background color.

You can see where he's borrowed heavily from your design, but his final design is shite compared to yours. A stern yet polite email would probably be enough for him to change it.

maybe you do have a case :1orglaugh

they stole the design,check the source and you'll see

you're turning into a detective :)

:1orglaugh

ummm... guess I should have viewed source. Now that looks like stealing... especially that last image, what an obscure file name.

I fucked most of the girls on both of your sites....... hehehe .

i had to give an explanation on why both picked the ugly orange color :)

lol

They are close, but not close enough to sue. You would just be wasting time and money. Just my opinion.

the internet community will sue both of them for disturbing color combinations :)

Threaten to sodomize him with a broom handle... that usually works.

Good work soul. I think that about proves that there was a little more than just borrowing from the design like i had thought. This guy definetley owes you an explanation :winkwink:

Speaking of AMA, here's a picture of Britney Spears at the AMA awards show:

Hey Fred, didn't you guys copy one of your clients' tour with brunob? Maybe you should go easy on this guy, cause you did the same thing too. I know you modified the tour a little bit since... but still looks similar ( Satan made me write this ) hehehe

Who the fuck is amacontent.com? Never heard of 'em.

With all the legal implications, what webmaster in his right mind would buy content from someone he doesn't know, or someone without impecible references. Nothing like laying down 2 grand on content then discovering down the road that your license is worthless because the license isn't really with the real picture owners or the proper model paperwork doesn't exist. Or worse yet, you are hauled in front of a judge on charges of child porn and discover you are totally fucked because low and behold one of the models was under 18.

www.adultcontent.ca, now them I've heard of - their pros.

Well i see there is alot of dif from you and yes some sim to , but the law is that it has to be 10% differnt , and trust me he is you are another colo of blue for one , and the lay out is not the same , i would just ask him why you want to look like us , but you trying to make him take it down that isnt happing unless he is weak and does it , a lawer in the worlkd would take that and tell you , you will win

I would not bother, the content is crap and the prices high. He will be gone long before you get to court.

A site like this opens and closes every week on the net. Prpbably only did it so he could get some blow jobs.

Hmmm. I'm interested in knowing where that came from. I'm sure that that is not the actual law, but are you referring to some precident that I haven't heard of? I find it hard to believe that there is some sort of "10% rule". When is one website 10% different than another? - absolutely impossible to measure quantitatively I would think. Sounds like an internet myth to me.

:2 cents:

The sites are similar but not THAT similar. You wanna see copying? I'll show you copying:

Zip Content

thieving little shit

now thats copying LOL

Heheheheheeeeeeee

All that says it that the models on the site are at least 18 years of age !!!

"now thats copying LOL"

hey missy! :winkwink:

They do look somewhat similar. But do you have any idea how many sites are out there? fuck... there are millions and millions on google alone. You dont think you'll come across one or 2 that look like yours?

Design is great, it's what you do with it that matters. We get enough crap from surfers much less other webmasters wanting to sue over something like this.

Good luck either way.

Sue the bastard.

Most people who have tried to give you advice have wrongly focused soley on the design similarities. If it were just the design similarities and the guy was on a non-adult domain name running a bookstore, you wouldn't have much of a claim.

However, the copyist is operating in the same segment of the same industry as you, and is very obviously trying to profit at your expense from the business and reputation you have built by mimicing your site.

All of you people advising against suing, here is an experiment for you to try. Put up a site about online auctions which looks remotely similar to EBays site and has a similar domain name, then see how long it takes before the C&D letters begin arriving.

I learned this from my Ex's stepfather, a sucessful tort lawyer, who said something like the following to me while we were discussing a case: Even when the letter of the law isn't clearly on your side, you can predict your level of sucess 95% of the time if you can accurately discern the ease with which an objective observer can be persuaded to infer nefarious intent on the part of the defendent.

jerry jerry jerry!

I agree with all those that said yours is far better. I wouldn't even bother because his site doesn't look the same as yours from what I can see.

welcome to last year???

Did anyone notice that Adultcontent.ca and ************* have been happily trading links for almost a year now? Now that is team work... I love you FRED ;-)

i don't think it looks the same at all... maybe he told his designer he loved your site and wants it in that style.. looks alot different to me tho.. maybe you see something i don't heh
