    THIS GUY RIPPED - Anything I can do?

    It's pretty frustrating.

    It all started out with this guy spamming his site to all the users on my page through PM. I check out his/her site and the content is very similar.. or scraped.

    Is there anything I can do about? Probably not.. but just thought I'd throw it out there.

    I don't know if they are really copying you. There are many deal sites out there. I like your logo.

    Perhaps inspired but I would not call this a RIP.

    I agree there are many deals/coupon sites but this guy straight copied and pasted my html.

    It's like saying there are many news sites.. but you don't see a copy and paste of CNN anywhere.

    Possible he's using the same 'deal' script as you?

    Ummm your websites navigation looks like 100's of other websites out there. Didn't Amazon use that style of navigation first?

    Forget it.. sorry I brought this up.

    It's not that his site looks like mine.. it's scraped off of mine. He took the HTML straight off my site.

    I don't care for the header.. the content. It's a straight copy / paste.

    it is not a rip friend, now a days it is hard to find a website orginal as there are a lot of possiblities of being similar even though they are not copied from your site or vice versa.

    General information can be copied.

    Unless he is copying something you created, there is nothing that can be done.

    Peace,

    Even if it is a rip, I guess the most that you could realistically do is try to contact the host and alert them of the situation. People often say they are going to sue over things like this but honestly its usually not worth the money or time.
