Hey everyone...

What's the plan when someone steals your video ?

This guy emailed me lastyear to trade banners on our links pages - so I did.

Then he contacted me again to post another banner inside my members area on the videos page - so I did.

Then I check this year, and he had taken both of my banners down, but never told me so was in effect stealing traffic from outside and inside my members area.

Tonight I got an email from a fan/member of my site, letting me know that the guy at busty.videos.com had posted one of my videos, after he removed the copyright information and site name.

Needless to say, I already think this guy is a sleaze, because he contacted me for a traffic trade and then after his banners were in place, he neglected to stick to the deal that HE suggested.

Now I find out about this guy stole my video and posted it on his site - if you go to -
Busty-Video.com and check the news section - there's my video, in the black lace. (http://www.busty-video.com)

So what do I do? What do you people do when this happens to you? After the traffic stealing / renig on the trade, and now this - I want to teach this sleazebag a lesson - is it worth my time? What can I do to protect myself from this kind of foul webmaster involving himself in my world?

help? advise please...oh great webmaster knowitalls :wnw:

thank you

Live and learn,
this is the oldest dirty trick in the book...

I don't think it would worth your while breaking his knee caps for it...

tell him to remove your videos or you sue and tell EVERYBODY who he is

Yep, Serge is right. However please document your e-mail telling him to take it down, if he refuses you can sue him and get a decent amount since he had been warned, and hence is acting malicious!

Hehe, just don't get too nasty in the email telling him to remove the video, it may have to be shown in court later :)
