Thanks for letting me know. In general I don't mind if people use my content as long as they provide credit to me and a link back to the original page. However none of that is done on this site (credit simply goes to "Aaron"). I have emailed the owner of the site.
It's using a no-ip domain name so it's hosted at someone's house who does not have a static IP address. So either they are temporarily down and will come back up when the records refresh or are down for good.
I don't want to see the website disappear but if all of his content is stolen from other sources then it's probably not a big loss.
Now some of the circuits on this site are from other sources but I'm careful to credit my sources and take them down if anyone complains (which has never happened). Sometimes I can't credit if the circuit was from my collection, but generally I (and I hope others) see that as OK since most of those circuits came from magazines or books that are long (and I mean 15 years or more) out of print.
See, things get done when you complain! Hey... i wonder if apple would stop with their stupid Mac vs. PC commercials. UGH! Have you seen their one about Vista!?!?!?!?
I've emailed the "author" again, but no response. Probably not much more I can do about it. If he was linking the images from my site I would just change the filenames on my end and then create a new set of images that would show up on his page. I doubt his readers would appreciate 2000 x 2000 pixel images of gay porn. Sadly he has also copied the images to his server...
All he had to do was send me an email and ask, and I would have gladly let him use the content.
Doesn't matter much anyway because I'm going to update that article to make all older copies obsolete.
