02-11-2010, 11:07 AM #179most definitely shouldn't be getting help from WHT staff.
Is he selling said design here? Us asking someone to change content on their site that has nothing to do with WHT (the forum) apart from it being discussed here probably won't happen. It's beyond what we should be responsible for. Rippers exist, and usually get severely and publicly roasted for it, but we can't be expected to "go after" them for doing it. That's up to DMCA's and it's between the ripper and the "rippee".Your one stop shop for decentralization

Thanks, but I fail to see why helping someone with a display issue is being associated with a ripped design for his website, so much so that he should then be denied assistance. He may be a design thief, but he hasn't directly broken our rules by doing so. I should think all this public discussion about this will not help him gain any business here.
You have your answer regarding my position on this. There is no "WHT is backing rippers" conspiracy here, it's simply beyond our scope to deal with that by getting directly involved in his legal issues. The victim issuing a DMCA is the resolution. If repeated DMCAs are received by his upstream, maybe they will take notice and act.

I can't see why someone who you know is ripping site and you're doing nothing about it, what you're saying is its ok come to wht to find designs to steal.

No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying it is beyond our scope. No proof he used WHT to steal said design, he's not selling it here, and hasn't broken our rules.

Sorry bear but I disagree, you are being asked by the membership here if there is any solution to the growing problem of the Theft/Fraud/Copyright Infringment act of site ripping. You have the ability to terminate any account for any reason that you see fit according to your discression? I could get suspended for posting a couple of one liners to boost my permission level? How would you feel if the site in question was yours? Don't tell me...you would issue the DMCA and the member would still be a member here.
He is breaking the law. WHT is providing him a platform to promote himself to the public, is this the type of business ethics that WHT wishes to be affiliated with?0

Take it up at the helpdesk before you get this thread locked.
I have a feeling the new ripped HammerHosting design isn't going to stay up for too long.

<summary>
- AveUgotaWkdSide complains that their current website design had been ripped by clients and states they wish to warn other hosts.
- ariss and Dougy point out that AveUgotaWkdSide stole the design from AKDesigner's portfolio.
- AveUgotaWkdSide states he paid for the design, however fails to ever provide any proof of this.
- Somewhere along the way caredding is also accused of stealing the design, they provide proof that they paid Payton Designs to create the template.
- It seems, though has not been proven that Payton Designs ripped the template from AKDesigner, Payton Designs state they are working on the issue with caredding and state it is not how it appears - but as of yet have not provided further details.
- It appears that Phase77 purchased the template from AKDesigner, and have the intellectual property rights as both AveUgotaWkdSide and caredding got DCMA'd, and were forced to take down their sites.
- AveUgotaWkdSide decided go ahead and rip yet another site this time from http://host2design.co.uk.
- Various people inquire as to why AveUgotaWkdSide has not been banned, bear states that it is because he has not broken any forum rules.

Yes, in fact that's exactly what would happen. Even if it directly affected me, proper channels towards resolution would still be followed.
You mean this one? http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=922876
Neither of those design previews looked like the ripped site to me, but if he's offering to buy *a* design from you, then that is resolved?.Your one stop shop for decentralization
