my name is [private] and I'm the author hikinginfinland.com. I host
my website on your servers, and am very happy with your services (and
happily would pay for them, too).
Another website which is hosted also on your service is copying my
intellectual property nearly 1:1 and after talking with a lawyer friend
of mine he suggested I consult with you and bring up my case with you,
in order that his page might be taken down. The page in question is
called hikventures.com. The complete page was modeled after my own
design and the two owners are copying my ideas, article layout and
design often 1:1. Here's a few examples, also see the attached
side-by-side comparisons:
1. My "The Week In Review"
http://hikinginfinland.com/2014/03/the-week-in-review-lxiii.html
versus their "Weekly Newsletter":
http://hikeventures.com/hikeventures-newsletter-25/
2. My Destinations Page:
http://hikinginfinland.com/destinations/
versus their Destinations page:
http://hikeventures.com/destinations/
3. My Gear Reviews Section:
http://hikinginfinland.com/gear-reviews/
versus their Gear Reviews Section:
http://hikeventures.com/gear-reviews/
4. And an example of a complete copy of my post on Calazo maps:
http://hikinginfinland.com/2013/06/waterproof-hiking-maps.html
and their version:
http://hikeventures.com/waterproof-maps-for-sweden/
If you browse these examples you will quickly recognize the
similarities. Hiking in Finland will be this year five years old, and
will be running nearly two years on Octopress and Github in the spring.
For example the idea for my "The Week In Review" dates back to April
2010 (http://hikinginfinland.com/2010/04/the-week-in-review.html),
whereas they just copied idea & layout since last year. As this is my
business, and they also are aggressively trying to monetize their
content, I'd like them to stop. As talking with them has yielded no
result, this is the next step to take.
