Arsehole ripping entire sites using a wild card.

[Paul Markham]

This was posted on another board and I'm here to warn you all.

I got onto my host and they are blocking him hotlinking our sites.

It can be done to any site and might screw with your SE listings

hey there guys

i was checking some links from yahoo and i accidentally found this

http://shopping.gabrio.com.1bu.com/ basically he ripped our entire blog + links, everything....and i have never seen such a thing, yet he is also ripping and running on his domain '1bu.com' all the pages, but serving the pictures from our server (thus hotlinking), AND if you look more carefully, he also changed all our referral links and sponsor links.....now, look at the row on the right, you will notice our hardlinks, he ripped off those as well, and on each of those sites, the links are changed there too!!

for example, some other domains he's doing this...

http://www.freeones.com.1bu.com/ => and EVERY site freeones.com is linked with....
http://www.pornstargalore.com.1bu.com/
http://www.nurglesnymphs.com.1bu.com/

they are all loading fucking slow, his server is infact in china, but it's worth the wait.

is there anything we can do to stop him doing so?

Well we took care of him this afternoon...lol Let's just say I wouldn't want to be him with everyone pissed off at him (why do we assume it's a him, could be a woman...)!!!

Thanks again Gabrio/Paul for giving us the heads up!

yeah, as far as i can understand from a post on netpond regarding this, he's been banned on google, which comforts me, yet i found his link originally on yahoo.....we should let yahoo know about the issue.
