Sizzz, Please Stop Stealing Content

ThePokerBank · #1 11-02-2007, 03:38 PM

After all the trouble you had with selling your site, and after you owed so many people money, I would have thought that you might have changed for the better.

I wouldn't be posting this on PAW if it was simply my own content that was being stolen, but I've just recently been informed that you have been taking content from other sites as well as mine. I was happy to talk to this about you privately in the hope that you would take down the content that has been copied from me, but its definitely in the interest of other affiliates that they keep an eye on your site from now on so that they don't have their content stolen from you also.

I can't be sure how many sites exactly that you have been taking from, or how much of your content is unique, but I know that you have been taking content from the following sites...

coinflippoker
plan3tgongpoker
thepokerbank (me)

sizzz's site: poker-freak.eu

So I'm sure that if you have any decent poker content on your site, you should check out poker-freak.eu just to see if any of your content has been stolen.

As I mentioned, I wasn't too bothered about making a big fuss about the content stealing, as although there are 4 articles that are copied from my site and had the wording changed around, there was only 1 that was showing up on copyscape. I feel frustrated that my work has just been abused by someone who is looking for an easy way to get some content onto their site. If you can't write your own unique strategy.

I was especially frustrated when you actually sent the links to articles to me over msn and wanting me to review them for you. Then after I mention that they are copies of my content, you continue to add another further two articles that have been taken from my site and had the wording changed around again.

Also, don't expect me to be the person to check if your content is unique or not, thats your job. So stop asking me to do so on msn.

What content was stolen from www.coinflippoker.com ? I just browsed through the site and couldn't find it, but if you show it to me I'll file a complaint and they'll take down his site.

The guy owes me a lot of money from many many months ago. Apparently bluff hired him, surely not?!

Thanks for your dilligence Pokerbank - checked and all ok from the plan3t gong perspective... when the payment issues surfaced I put some outstanding articles into my blog and pinged them fast... then removed them when payment came. Not my usual style but seemed a good precaution at the time!

Joining copyscape now at the top of my to do list...

Thanks again, Mark

Well he must have seen this post cause the URL i posted like an hour ago has been removed. Hopefully your stuff gets taken down to pokerbank

I believe that this guy should be banned from PAW, after some investigation and reading his version.

Ban him and he'll be off our minds, we wont see *warning* threads like this so often.

i hope, PAW admin take the action and ban him.
