[QUOTE="Daniel Postilnik, post: 3556, member: 184"] Hi guys, I recently got a call from a young fellow (younger than me and I'm 24) asking to rent a DJ system because he was double booked doing homecoming dances. I told him I'd get him a quote, and in the meantime I did some research on his "company." I found out that he had stolen copy from my website and used it, word-for-word, on his own website without attribution or permission. Since he's primarily an aspiring DJ and promoter, I extended an offer to him to partner up with me so he can throw bigger and better events without having to invest time or money to get to that point, and at the end of my email I reminded him that he had stolen from my website and I wasn't going to be able to deal with him in any capacity until he changed or removed the offending content. He hasn't responded to my email (it's been 24 hours or so). According to one friend of mine in law school it's infringement, so he's definitely in the wrong. I sense, however, that if I start to get into issues of legality then this guy's dad will have a friend who is a lawyer etc. etc. etc.... Any advice on what to do next? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
