TFer... Stole my content

Ok... He took about 100+ layouts...

Theres atleast 1,000 dollars worth of MySpace layouts on his site that belong to me, and he's making money off of them.

I'm not a big money webmaster, I get around, this is clearly pissing me off.

Hmm, depending on your lawyer, $1000 is a lot, and it may be worth it to pursue legal action. However, I would try and be humane about it. Contact him, and his host. If you can WITHOUT A DOUBT prove it’s your property, I’m sure his host will listen. Either way it’s worth a shot. Julian knows a good amount about this subject. Try contacting him.

Pursuing this type of lawsuit would not be worth it. As I said, send him a C&D linking the infringements and he'll likely remove them.

Step 1: Contact him

Step2: Contact Webhost

Step3: Contact Server Company

Step4: Legal advice.

Everything I do is under my parents name, so its technically my parent's issue.

My aunt's ex boyfriend is a lawyer and I can say I'm close to him so it Imma seek legal advice if I have to... The worst thing is I can't find a way to contact him because I forgot the AIM which he IMed me from months ago.

Nica: You will not post offense titled threads like this again, or you will be banned. This includes excessive ammounts of profanity.

This thread has been moved to the business and legal help thread due to it's overall content.

I contacted him on MSN... His TF username is Ferrarislave...

Seems like he wants to hide the fact he owns the site, and then blocked me, heres the conversation :

Nica says:
Hey...
Ferrarislave says:
hey
Nica says:
Can you please take my layouts off your site?
Ferrarislave says:
?
Nica says:
Before I have to talk to my lawyer(s)
Nica says:
Nica, MySpaceStop.com
Nica says:
Talked to you on AIM, showed you my layouts.
Ferrarislave says:
which site are you talking about?
Nica says:
Then you decided to steal them?
Nica says:
PimpMaSpace.com
Ferrarislave says:
thats not my site
Nica says:
Yes it is...
Ferrarislave says:
i sold that site a month ago
Nica says:
Common man, I'm not dumb, I need my layouts down ASAP...
Nica says:
Then why are my layouts on it?
Nica says:
When you were one of the few people who have seen my layouts...
Ferrarislave says:
i never saw ****
Ferrarislave says:
you posted all over forums
Nica says:
Can you give me the new owner's contact?
Ferrarislave says:
support@pimpmaspace.com
Ferrarislave says:

Nica says:
Your AIM is CaptainDirty812 , I talked to you on AIM under Da Nica 09
Ferrarislave says:

Ferrarislave says:

Ferrarislave says:
i wanted to buy some layouts from you
Ferrarislave says:

Ferrarislave says:
and sold the site
Nica says:
But how did my layouts get on there?
Ferrarislave says:
again, i dont know, i dont own the site
Nica says:
Okay, if you sold it, you would atleast have a forum username, e-mail, or instant messenger.
Nica says:
Im not joking one bit when I say I am going to get a lawyer on this because there is hundreds of dollars worth of layouts on the site, and the site looks like its getting money...
Nica says:
All your domains are private... so this is the only contact I have
Nica says:
On your MySpace it reads you're the owner of PimpMaSpace.com...
Ferrarislave says:
ya
Ferrarislave says:
neec to edit that
Ferrarislave says:
*need
Nica says:
Please don't play games with me man, I spent alot of money on this, and I'm not scared to press charges...
Nica says:
Afterall, I have contact to all my designers, and the original PSDs and original JPGs

It's not my site anymore. I told you that...

Contact them using the contact form. I am not going to give out any information, because that’s none of my business....

From what it looks like your site is not even up... You also had many posts on other forums linking to your domain with a directory full of the layouts you supposedly claim are yours.

Also, please realize that you are infringing on copyrights yourself. You used images that are copyrighted by their original owners (g-unit, aftermath, and their respective trademark holders) So you are just as guilty as every other myspace site currently making layouts from images they are finding online.

That’s my reply; I will no longer reply to the blatant lies in this tread.

no lawyer would even touch this. the only thing you'd get from a lawyer is a yes or no about whether you'd even have a chance of this making it to court and his opinion on what you could take them to court over.
