| Every now and then I surf the net to see if there are other sites like mine and how close they are to mine. Awhile back someone stole my website and gave it a new name, nice. Now I found someone else stole all sorts of material from my web site, no credit, no link, nothing.
I'm hardly a web design guru but gees what a weasel!

| LINKING TO MY IMAGES!!! | |

| Try adding this:
(obviously edit out my crap in the "var message" field)
<script language="JavaScript"> <!--
var message="Sorry, you can't copy the graphics.\n\nSite Design Copyright© KiwiPete & petes-emulation.com. \n\nI spent many sleepless nights creating this site. I'm sure you can find clipart elsewhere. \n\n :-)"; // Message for the alert box
// Don't edit below!
function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.onmousedown=click;
// --> </script>
Then they can't right-click on an image & copy it.
Not much you can do about View/Source, though. | |

| That link has a copyright notice at the bottom.
Do you have any copyright notice or legal disclaimer on your site?
If you don't, it's considered public domain and anyone can copy it.
btw, isn't it ironic that someone promoting the Marines stole the info from another site.  | |

| Strangely I found a small banner that said "I only steal from the best"
I didn't mind so much taking the graphics, but linking back to my site was uncool : ( | |

| I told him to just unlink the graphics from my site, he didn't have to do that!

| To stop a horsethief, give him an old nag... Here is how I used to handle graphics linkers: Rename all of your graphics on your site that this clown has linked to, then under those names, put up some really offensive graphics. When they start showing up on his site, he will probably get the hint. | |

| GOOD one about the "nag", Freddy. I went to the site & the graphics took forever to load.
Interesting that this image was at the bottom. Evidently your "friend" can't spell either unless someone does it for him. | |

| I read somewhere that you can disable the ability to view the source code. I've also seen it, when I was curious to see how something cool was done on a website, sometimes when I want to see the code on it, the Source Code under the View menu was grayed out. I don't know how to do it, but it can be done. | |

Where is your site? I'd like to see it. My oldest son is a Marine stationed in Okinawa at the moment.
Thanks!
PM me with the location if you would prefer or want more information. | |

| I did a search for the text:
Drill instructors epitomize the word "Marine."
I came back with four sites that had that particular section of text. It that part of what was taken? | |

| No it was a story I wrote et al. I resolved things with the webmaster. |
