| 1136148 | 2010-09-10 10:48:00 | A while back I made a theme for Sony Ericsson A2 based phone. after coincidentally searching the name of the theme I found it referenced on a Persian site novindl.com (www.novindl.com) It is quite blatant that they have ripped my theme after downloading it from my dA profile here, auzeras.deviantart.com I am mildly frustrated that they have taken it without asking/or awknowledging acknowledging me but I guess thats life. I have tried contacting the website several months ago but got no reply (both in English and Persian) can anyone recommend a way from me to contact the websites owners/moderators to ask for it to be removed or re-directed to my site or will I have to live with it?:dogeye: |

| 1136151 | 2010-09-10 11:17:00 | Yeah - I have had loads of my blog/site content and images copied or reworded on numerous foreign sites. Generally by auto feed scrapers. But Google eventually finds those sites (because of duplication) and buries them or possibly de-index them in the search results. However some have found it as a bit of a blessing, as it can increase visitors to your site, though short term. Maybe do a google image search and I think you can report images to google. Were any "alt tags" added to your image in the code (depends if url/html were used when you uploaded the image). If so that may speed up finding duplicate images by Google. Actually just checked the source code on that foreign site, and no alt tags were present. Though their are ways to prevent image copying, but tech savvy people can circumvent that. |

| 1136155 | 2010-09-11 02:48:00 | Where abouts did you contact them from? Try using this WHOIS site (dwhois.net) - replace domain with novindl. Then you should see contact info - try them. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
