    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
    Certainly you donīt saw that site, Itīs a RIP, not a clone, the template is 100% copied, thatīs why he shut down the site for a while (i think).

    But that template is copyrighted, so if he continues online i will do that communication to his isp,

    Thank you for your comments.

    Webster would know about copy/cloning or getting inspiration as his site resembles ******.com.

    Like other have said, contact the pepople tralem... Have they responded to any of your requests?

    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.

    The "Order Now" buttons are exactly the same. Tsk tsk.

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