Someone Stole/Copied Articles from my Site - Advice?

Wow strange... I knew I recognized that url, because of the dash. I think its one of the few dashed domains I've ever purchased from on the interwebz. And sure enough, there it is:

info@hookah-shisha.com to me --- 06/18/2005

Junior (1 hose) 18 inch single hose 1 $57.95 $57.95
Glass w/ carrying hookah (Premium Flavor
case #1 = Strawberry,
Premium Flavor #2 =
Banana, Base...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Subtotal $57.95
Shipping $6.95
Tax $0.00
Total $64.90
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total amount reserved on your credit card: $64.90

Or maybe I remembered it because I thought it was so weird that of all places for a Hookah site to be from, TEXAS was not on my list of possible guesses. I think I still have the little thing too, but its likely in storage.

/useless story

Texas is a gigantic fucking port. I wholesale shisha here.

@OP, if you ever wanted to start selling shisha, i can accommodate you. congradulations on the takedown aswell.

I am working with a wholesaler right now, but I would be interested in working with a shisha wholesaler. What brands do you carry? Send me a message with your info, thanks.

Also, can this thread PLEASE be deleted now that it was resolved? Thank you mods.
 
So because I posted the same question on another forum I am "playing" you?

I filed a DMCA complaint with HostGator and his site was taken down.

Do you really think the negative reputation was necessary, considering that you were wrong?

:action-smiley-052:

You carbon copied the post into at least 3 or 4 other forums. I figured it was just a cleverly disguised way to get links and attention to your site and that you owned all the domains in question.

My sincere apologies if I was wrong!

Sorry, I wasn't sure where to post I wasn't trying to get more hits. If it makes you feel better I only had 150 hits yesterday lol.

Um no, Josh. We don't delete threads after things get resolved because we're not here as your personal bodyguard.

So quit reporting it to be deleted you ungrateful fuck.

You're hurting the other guys reputation buy leaving the link there. The issue was resolved, why not remove the thread?

No.. you did, by posting here and the 3462565 other forums too. You linked it with your post with the absolute intention of causing him negative reputation and/or damages to bolster your case against him, by applying pressure and getting what you wanted. Well, congrats, it was effective. However, the moment you decided to become an annoying member that cries wolf, that's where you dun fucked up boy.

Because you're being so irritating with the reporting of the thread, when there was nothing to actually report, I think we'll keep it alive and bumped for much longer.

Bump! :action-smiley-052:

Hookah sounds like a good niche!

Moral of the story for josh is, don't post your actual links if you don't have to. You could have easily asked a dmca question without posting your link.
 
Btw Josh, had a quick scroll down your site, fix the banana article. In the bit that shows on the main page, (maybe in the article too, I didn't look) you spelt natural wrong. :)

Actually, I only posted this on one other forum.

Maybe I wouldn't have had to report it 3 times if you wern't lazy and actually replie or took the thread down instead of waiting 3 days.

How exactly did I cry wolf? The DMCA was issued, site was taken down, issue was resolved. I don't think you understand the meaning of that statement.

I don't care if the thread is left open, I was only doing this as a favor for the other person.

Dude the other person copied your site and would have kept it like that if you didn't issue the DMCA. You're lucky they got scared and removed it because would you have really of went to court and everything?

Yet you ask for help and it is given to you, then not only can you not see your own self inflicted butterfly effect, but you're trying to oust the forum owner once things do go in your favor (so you think). I don't think you understand what this place is, why did you post shit here and leave live links if you were afraid of unforeseen's? Quite a few ways to still communicate your message without having to resort to post comps links or call Jon lazy, or that he should give a fucknut about this situation.

I'd ban your ass if I had the hammer and agree you're an ungrateful fucker now that you're home free.
