Template Rip
I am the admin of www.freemambo.com
Recently Water & Stone water&stone made for me a template (exclusively) for the new freemambo site: www.freemambo.com/website
Today i discover this site:
http://www.tralem.org/index.php?opt...ntpage&Itemid=1
Only me and Water & Stone Water & stone have access to the freemambo acount, so the template was stolen.
How? I donīt know... yet.
If you notice and click on SEARCH, on the right corner, you will find the link to my site (freemambo).
What and how should i resolve this LEGAL issue???
Thank you for your answers.
PS: i didnīt know where to post this, if itīs in a wrong forum please move it.

FIrst email the webmaster and inform them that you are the legal owner of the copyright and ask them to remove it. If they are disputing then ask for evidence. If they refute, then report it to their ISP. It appears that their design has been taken off.

Yes i send 2 emails to them. I donīt know if they will remove the design, but in mambo cms we have the ability to "close" the site, maybe he did that for people not seeing what he as done.
most likely they did a clone of your site witch i have learned that it is very legal to do
But that template is copyrighted, so if he continues online i will do that communication to his isp,
Thank you for your comments.

Do you honestly think that your site doesn't resember ******.com? They're virtually identical. I think it would be been more professional had use a template that would have been identical to another site, insted of ripping an original design.

Not only should you contact the datacenter, but his host.
