Amail, youre wasting your time on this guy, you cant reason with his stupidity, he wont get it and never will.
As long as someone takes some value from my heartfelt point of view I'm happy. Maybe the next stolpioni will read this and grok that it's not good to steal / alter someone else's material.

I thought I read something where this guy seemed "off" before so I went back and found this old thread

If (when) somebody does this to me, there won't be any attorneys witnessing.
There will just be me, him/her, and my toolbox alone in my basement.. (Word to God).

What a creep.. I think that quote better explains this individual then any of us ever could.

I had someone do this to one of my sites a year ago. Pisses me off.

Imagine how many guys like this are out there who AREN'T naive enough to post their "progress" to a forum.

In retrospect, we probably could have given him bad advice instead of teaching him how to get better.

Well, maybe now he'll go back to BlackHatWorld where he belongs...

This is sad. He had, like, 4 F*cking chances and didn't take any of em. Maybe he didn't know that ripping off a site completely is stealing. OK, first chance. Then he admitted to stealing and changed it a little bit to cloak it. Second chance. Then he defended his stealing. Third chance. Then he tried to defend it even more. Fourth chance. Then he insulted the forum admin. Really? You guys let him go THAT far?

MJ, Runum, Vig... you guys are way too nice for your own good.

Btw, MJ, you should sticky this thread in the 'Failures and Goofs' section.

There's a lesson to be learned here. It's okay to make mistakes, but to constantly defend your mistake to the point where you are insulting the people who you want to be like... well that's just insanity.

It astounds me that he didn't see the issue with the copyright infringement.

People like this will be 'PARKED' forever...

Primarily through lawsuits, prison....or both.

Granted I'm 'PARKED' myself but not for long! ordered my samples from my supplier oh yeah!!

Set up a progress thread. Hell, just by documenting your steps you can gain speed. You don't have to tell us the business.

YThis bag of dicks reminds me of the douchebag that stole my property. People like this have no integrity and are only out to F*ck you over. Now I have to come up with money to sue F*ckers like this and they bank that you won't. This post was the one that got me posting back in the fastlane because it hit so close to home. You are a thief. Just because it is a civil crime as opposed to a criminal one doesn't make it any better. But sociopaths like this really dont give a shit about things like that. Thats why they are sociopaths.

I know what to look for now when it comes to dickbags like this now. Never again.

This thread get me thinking... I took the basic structure for the copy on Self-Made Renegade from http://foundation.io/program, he in turn, appears to have taken his basic structure from Ramit Sethi's original "Find Your Dreamjob" salesletter (which is no longer available on the web, but is saved to my evernote). Coincidentally, Ramit's program is incredibly similar to mine.

Do you guys think I need to edit the copy in order to decrease similarities (Note, I didn't copy website design or most of my copy, but certain headlines ARE copied, and the structure itself is a straight rip with sections removed.)

Haha, what a douche.

I checked howtobreak80.com though, and that site is totally filled with viruses (iframes etc).
Maybe the guy got what he deserved..

On the bright side, his old site, and all the other sites he owned are now currently down. Seems he learned pretty fast what being a loser will get you.

*strong bump*

This guy's in the fastlane to legal expenses and a court date in an over sized rented suit. How ridiculously blatant this was actually had me laughing. The gall!

Classic. I got an alert on this thread, and popped over here. I clicked the link in the OP to the big business idea the OP had, and as is predictable, the site is dead with a "for sale" redirect.

There are no short cuts.

Very good lesson the rest of us newbie's can learn from - there are no shortcuts. The wisdom "Take the mistakes others make and avoid them" :)... In his case, stealing.

Are we sure this guy isn't just a troll?

Why would he put "just stolen" in the title? Knowing that will cause backlash.

The title was edited by the mods to reflect what happened here. He stole someone's stuff and we made sure everyone knew.
