and mine (available from profile).

Sure it started out life as a template but then it was HEAVILY customized... and the stylesheet in the header is still linking to our site (it won't load if your referrers are turned on as it's blocked by mod_rewrite).

No idea what the site is about though as I don't speak the language (althuogh it looks like a lottery site).

Lottery would be my guess.

Wow, what a fantastic opportunity you have here! Create a new copy of your style sheet, use any basic search/replace function to change the name in your page headers, then using the old style sheet (to which they are linked), "customize" the hell out of their site! With only the background element alone you can unleash untold horrors on them. Take a couple of screenshots too, so you can report them to their hosting company and get the site yanked after they figure out your revenge.

Good luck! ;)

Yup...revenge is easily yours at least until they figure the problem out. http://www.pirated-sites.com/ is a good place to send the screenshots when you take them (before you wreak righteous vengeance, obviously). :)

Post at the link above, then send a Cease & Desist :)

By the way, the site is in Chinese. If you look at the lottery amounts, you'll see HK$32,154,865.00, which means Hong Kong dollar.

Now, I'm not a practitioner of international law, but if my understanding of government control over media in China is correct, you could get them in a whole lot of trouble if the backgrounds you inserted contained particular visuals or statements of an inflammatory nature. Just a thought - you probably only have a small window of opportunity, so make it count! :)

I especially like their use of two of our software product logos in their navigation :)

Just because they have broken International copyright law doesn't mean that I want to break the law back, although I suppose technically I wouldn't be so long as the style sheet I served back up was legal in the UK.

Just make the text sizes like 900px and embed some graffiti fonts or something then re-link yours. They'll wonder what happened ;)

There'd be nothing illegal about it whatsoever! A stylesheet is simply a bunch of coded rules. They are breaking the law twice by both leeching onto your work and choosing to implement a style sheet that displays images/words that violate the law in their own country. You are quite legal and considering the circumstances, certainly your conscience is clear!

pmoduk2's recommendation works pretty well too. Not very subtle ;) but effective!

Too bad you didn't link to any external .js pages. Oh holy crap! You could go nuts on them!

:rofl:

You could also, make the page bright colours, for example;

body
{
background-color: #FFFC00;
font-family; Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 900px;
color: #FF00FC;
}

If you do decide to change the CSS, then please let us know ;)

I don't mean to keep beating on this topic, but it's just too good to pass up.

Microsoft has a proprietary CSS element that allows you to make text flow backward or vertically. It only works in IE, but that oughta shake things up even more.

body
{
background-color: #0F0;
font-family; Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 900px;
color: #F00;
writing-mode:tb-rl; /*top to bottom, right to left - IOW, bass akwards */
}

I just thought about doing

body {
display:none;
}

:rofl: at the_pm

Are they only linking to your CSS? Because if they are linking to anything else, you could have put up a note saying do not rip sites

You could always play around and change through different CSS' every few hours ... if you're not to busy lol

EDIT:



<link href="http://www.dominion-web.com/dw2004.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<style>
<!--
.big { font-family: ·s²Ó©úÅé, ²Ó©úÅé; font-size: 15pt; line-height: 18pt}.medium { font-family: ·s²Ó©úÅé, ²Ó©úÅé; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 15pt}-->
</style>



Don't they know they can grab the CSS source? :rolleyes:

I would think this sufficient... just to let 'em know you're there! If they weren't smart enough to change that to a local file (even the ripped one) perhaps they'll just toss out the whole thing -- and rip the next guy instead. :(

that display: none trick would work well. especially if you make your CSS look confusing and hide it in the mess somewhere ;) I bet they'd spend hours trying to fix it.
