Some one copied MM
I still don't get it...that's like building a store just like Toys R Us and calling it Toys Are Us. Isn't that horribly illegal? Aug 14 06 09:31 am Link Cute, not only did they steal from MM and MP but they never bothered doing a search for those words in the content. They didn't even edit out Tyler's name in the FAQ section (http://www.modeltag.com/faq.php): "Why don't the http://modeltag.com/shortname URLs work anymore? At some point, the internal auto redirection stopped working. Tyler has been notified and we hope he is looking into it. In the meantime, please use the following type of link instead ("www" is optional): http://www.modeltag.com/member.php?id=YOUR_ID_HERE" I thought the Indian technicians would be more careful when stealing. Well maybe Tyler (or more likely his lawyer) can make a few bucks in the lawsuit with a few screenshots. Aug 14 06 09:33 am Link Well it seems like they steal images as well as sites..talk about non~creative.. I knew that image looked familiar. I am glad that the model and photographer have been notified. Aug 14 06 09:33 am Link ModelTag news page: http://www.modeltag.com/info.php 29th March, 2006 Woohoo! A fast new database server has been put online to keep Modelplace as fast as it can possibly be. Its built to be super reliable and in general just help us out with all the growth we are seeing. You guys rock! Clearly says Modelplace; http://www.modeltag.com/rules.php These rules apply to every area of ModelMayhem.com (forums, shout box, comments, messages, etc). [1] Absolutely NO FLAMING OR NAME CALLING. Mutual respect and civilized conversation is the required norm. Please keep profanity and gratuitously inflammatory language to a minimum. Personal attacks will not be tolerated on ModelMayhem.com. [2] NO SPAM. Spamming unsolicited advertisements anywhere on ModelMayhem.com will get you banned. and elsewhere... Maybe Tyler should consider encrypting the souce code Aug 14 06 09:36 am Link jason messer wrote: thx Jason, WTF, that is Fucked UP!, i just sent an email to the Fake site, telling them to remove that image, and why. Aug 14 06 09:38 am Link Wow. HA! I mean, seriously. If you like an idea and want to emulate it, at least turn it into something of your own...and REALLY make sure you at least change the names if you're just going to copy and paste.  That's a big pile of morons over there. I can see people wanting to imitate a place like MM, it has grown really popular and is a strong community...but imitating, and straight out plagiarizing are two different things. If there is any legal ground for Tyler to sue these people, I hope he does it! Same with the people whose images were used without permission. That's a load of malarky. BAH! ~Jer Aug 14 06 09:42 am Link please tell me they took BCG ! Aug 14 06 09:43 am Link Is Dennis Covey really a member? Or did they copy his whole portfolio? http://www.modeltag.com/member.php?id=47 Aug 14 06 09:44 am Link UnoMundo Photography wrote: Darn you beat me to it. Too funny. Aug 14 06 09:45 am Link ModelPlace was created IRRC by banned ex members of Model Mayhem. So, ModelTag is stealing from Model Mayhem and from a MM clone. Someone is running in circles here. Since Tyler coded most of MM by hand, he certainly has a hefty lawsuit for copyright infringements at hand. Even text like the rules and FAQ's were developed by MM and it's moderators and is original work as well. I say: Screenshots!

Also it looks like Mary( the MUA) is a member as well, but her portfolio has not been approved yet.. and this image looks familier as well..  Aug 14 06 09:49 am Link LOL, not obvious at all doh!  Aug 14 06 09:50 am Link Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Aug 14 06 09:51 am Link Mona and I are going; they are going to make us Moderators. Feel the Power ! Aug 14 06 09:53 am Link My favorite part of their site: Profiles that violate copyrights are unacceptable. Aug 14 06 09:53 am Link Tim Little Photography wrote: You don't see the personalization? Really? Jeez, it's RIGHT THERE! In all it's BRIGHT BLUE HORRIBLENESS! That header is...wow, what's the word for it? Crap? Hideous? Something a 4 year old could do with MS Paint?

If Tyler coded most of Model Mayhem by hand I wonder if he'd have a suite against Modelplace as well... Aug 14 06 09:57 am Link hmmmm does Tyler know anything about it though? hmmmm lol could it even be a sister site, without the off topic threads LOL Aug 14 06 09:58 am Link EL wrote: Oh they appear to be Chock Full of Bugs at this point.

I have to go take a look but I don't think the browse function works. You can't do a search by state. I mean, really, if you're going to copy something at least make it work! Amateurs! Lawsuit in 3...2...1... I'm making a big batch of popcorn for this one! -P- PS -- Now I'm really curious if they took BCG over there...
