I went to the Feedback part of their site and posted a friendly, polite mail to them suggesting that, good as their site is, it would be really nice if they gave a better credit to Malcolm for his work.Maybe some mileage in a few dozen other people doing the same. Hyperlinking's the meat-and-potatoes ofthe web, after all, but credit where credit's due doesn't hurt.Then, if they don't do the right thing, further measures? Can always put a REFERRER filter on the server and block their links

Damn, wouldn't it have been easier for him to just put a link on his site? That's kinda beat.

I sent them an email as well. I hope they figure out how lame stealing someone else's hard work is and remove it from their site. Sorry about the hassle, Malcolm. Much props for you efforts. Diana

dis is what I wrote;On your glowsticking lessons page, you are linking to Home of Poi copyright resources. By omitting any credit to Home of Poi, you are infringing their copyright, and thus you are lame.Why can't you just provide a link to Home of Poi, rather than try to make out those are your resources?For sure I'll tell my friends.Josh-----just thought I'd follow on the good work you kids have done already.Josh

It must be really tiring for you Malcolm..about that ad that appears after the framebustout for www.firetwirling.com..you could whack in the bottom of your onload script, something likeself.focuswhich will push that little ad behind your window. I dont think you can close it cuz it was opened from a different website (security hole), but you can certainly push it behind your window when it loads, which I reckon is almost as good.yell if you need help, and respect as always.Josh

Malcolm--No kidding about that bandwidth theft. I run a few web sites myself, and personally, I consider it completely acceptable to respond to such things by simply changing the grapic to read "This site is stealing bandwidth", or even worse things. ("We are morons" is another fairly mild one.)The fact that such things are doable at all is one of the reasons why I consider bandwidth theft not just malicious, but inept, crude and stupid as well. It puts you totally at the mercy of your supposed "victim".Sorry you're having to deal with this crap.

Hey Malcolm, you can really get the owner of the last one in alot of toruble as, if you didn't notive, the address is actually linked to a school ( .edu ), which can actually get the school in trouble. So instead of the school facing charges the kid would get in serious trouble for using copyright material on school accounts, facing expulsion I bet would be the least of his/her worries.
Cass, it falls into the realm of Copyright Infringement Laws, which can come with alot of little side laws (plagerism, depending on what is taken..intellectual property, Malcolm could sue for lost wages if stuff from the store section was used...just a whole lot of stuff). These come with hefty fines and imprisonment in most areas.
Love you both!

In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird, now the world is weird and they take prozac to make it normal again.
