DP member says I stole his site ie: Copyright, etc...

    Be aware this guy is a COPYCAT, his new site whoisasap.com is a really bad copy of our site whoismind.com.
    Plus he just tried to buy an AD on our site to promote his imitation.

    http://whois.whoisasap.com/hello.com.html

    http://www.whoismind.com/whois/hello.com.html

    I did not steal his db, not even sure how he coded his site.
    I did not steal any content, text, graphics, etc...

    I am not going to argue about the format, it does show in a very
    similar fashion; I am not aware that format/color or even style is a copyright violation....

    I am a flexible person; I would be more then happy to change
    this or that if it would make peace...

    What are your thoughts?

    Your post would make a lot more sense if you quote the part you are quoting. :)

    I first wrote a post asking why you had the other guys site in your signature... then I went, "Doh" and figured out what you had done. :)

    The internet is such a small place that after buying a first ad on our site for your AdultHaven.com website, you come up a few weeks later with a competing site (in the same colors, using the very same images I created myself (NS and IP)).

    wrong, you did stole our images. The content we couldn't care less, it's public data.
    -
    -
    Almost like a bad student copying online content for a paper on something!

    Then you have the guts to buy advertisement on our site to market your fresh made copycat website.

    Timeline:
    • - 1st July: you buy your first advertisement on WhoisMind.com
    • - 8th July: you start making your copycat site, as quoted in your CSS file (http://whois.whoisasap.com/stylesheet/style.css):
      /*#######################*/
      * Project: Whois lookup
      /* Start: 08th July 2012
      /*#######################*/
      ...
    • - 26 July: you pretend it's pure bad luck (hehe)

    If you believe your lies, you're only fooling yourself.

    But of course you must be right and I must be wrong *cough*.

    just checked the links in the original post and they don't look similar except maybe for the color of the background and the color of the title bar...

    He is just yelling into the wind with his ramblings...
    I really do not care what he thinks or what he rambles about.
    There is nothing he can do other then keep crying over what he has no control over....

    Here you go, no charge...

    ahh, it looks like we have a facebook squatter...

    http://facebook.com/whoisasap

    how about that, it looks like it was registered the very same day this post was made, july 26th...

    I just wonder who registered that :)

    too bad I am not a facebook fan....

    Do you really think i just overlooked that?

    I was never interested, but I see why he registered it, and it surely was not for any legit reason either.
