ForgottenCreature is on a distinguished road

  Old  My site has been ripped, what to do?

Well, one of my websites designs have been ripped and I am wondering what to do at this point. I own the design exclusivly, have the .psd and the proof.

My website:
http://www.thefriendtrain.com

Ripped site:
http://www.myspacegeeks.com/

Both sites are running off the same script, which I have no problem with. I am just angry that he stole my design.

What should I do at this point?

Hmmm... Seeing as it is not a script.

It is a site me and Andy Kerr created in november of last year, somebody got access to the files and started to illegally sell them on ebay.

Your thefriendtrain site is just a copy of all of my stuff but with a different layout.

I told cpvr to take down all my stuff, including the layouts my friend Elvis created (a paid job) for me.

Cpvr decided not to.

I am using this layout and I will not take it down unless you take all of my stuff down, your whole site apart from "your" layout.

November 2005 - me and andy kerr opend pimp-my-myspace.com

We then split and i created xenra.com

Early this year somebody got ahold of our files and started selling them on ebay (ILLEGALLY).

Thefriendtrain bought a copy of mine and andy's sites files from ebay and made his site (thefriendtrain.com)

Xenra and Pimp-my-myspace with a different layout.

Me and andy spent weeks if not months creating each page and coding each generator with the help of andrew (myspacesupport.com)

Thefriendtrain - if you take down the copy of our site, we will take down your layout.

Are you calling the new backend yours? I don't think so.
Your layouts will be removed as soon as we hire someone to redo them.
We'd appreciate it if you remove our design asap, or we'll be contacting our lawyer.

Its funny how many people claim the legal copy of xenra/pimp-my-myspace are "scripts"/"software"

They think the copies of my site were sold legally as a piece of software? Its just like somebody getting ftp access to google, copying everything then selling it on ebay.

Illegal? yes.
