Yeah, cause if you pay attention, it looks like they copied the code for your top navigation system literally character for character, then they swapped the text links you have with images....

lol. :lol:

[Aaron]

now that would be funny

[elie]

Alot of people could just "hack" the site. But, that is also against the law, and if the server administrator for that site found out, Alex could get sued, even if he did it because that other fool of a webmaster "stole" the layout.

It would be funny, be heh, lol, not that glamorous for this wonderful site&#39;s webmaster.

But hey...this might be immoral, but, what could they really do to Alex? Isn&#39;t he an international and not from the U.S. ? It&#39;s even harder to get hold of him that way...lol. Hmm...

Unfortunatly there is nothing LPA can really do, they could contact the LPU and see if they can get WB to step in (which is what I&#39;d do). But technically they are breaking the law and people have been sued for doing such things as copying sites.

Shame there is nothing on the web protecting things like this&#33;

I&#39;ll lift up my site so you can check to see if I stole anything. ( http://www.lpfuse.co.uk ) the only thing I got of the LPA on there is the &#39;In yourself&#39; mp3 which I mirrored and e-mailed the LPA before I uploaded and said to contact me if they had any issues with me uploading the file.

Good luck hope this guy goes down in flames.

cool site

[elie]

WB or LPU can&#39;t do a thing. They didn&#39;t directly copy the site either...they tweaked it...and now that I think about it...I&#39;ve see this type of site design many times before...

Maybe this thread should be closed...

[Energy]

Shame, I really hate when people get away with crap like this, it ruins the web. The guy doesn&#39;t even use his own mp3 files. grrr >_<
