At first I was skeptical, but then I saw the full page image of Hitomi, and noticed that it's cut on the top very well so that the MMCafe logo won't show.

It's pretty disheartening to see some site just editing out each and every picture and putting their own logo.

It's written on their site that the pics is from the famitsu ... but if they steal your pics, they're very f*ckin' bast' !

"This has got to be the weirdest.." , posted Wed 7 Aug 21:55:post reply


[Edit: Fixed URLs]

This has got to be the weirdest experience I've had as a news site operator.

First and foremost, the scans at Newtechnix are- without a doubt, rips from my site.

Example1
Example2

Top:Newtechnix, Bottom:MMCafe

Even with a miracle, there's no way to get two identical scans with the same pixels, angles, and hue/colors. Even more, the two has same dust particles from the scanners.




Now, comes the weird part.





SuperTony is a total pain in the ass lamer. From the reply I got from him, there's no doubt that it's useless to try and beat some sense into him. Fortunately, the site isn't a one-man operated deal, and I've received a mail from one of his colleagues. They do get the magazine- and there's other articles in the site which prove it. Still, the idiot takes from another site?

So, my guess is that...
1- Newtechnix gets the magazine, but they were too lazy to scan the DOAX article, and decided to rip from MMCafe instead.

2- Newtechnix doesn't actually have the magazine, and all their images are taken from other sites.


I'm a bit puzzled of the whole situation myself, but one things for sure: the message stays in the index until they get their own pics... or they run out of date.

perhaps you should litter the image with mmcafe logos (at least 3-4). personally, its a damn well designed logo, and it will get to the point that instead going through the task of cropping, he may as well just ask for your permission to link.

is there anyway you can ban a specific ip address from entering your site?

Makatiel-
Naah, all in all, I want to keep the images as clean as they can be so that the viewers can enjoy without being annoyed. It's crossed my mind before tho', of course. I remember talking about it with the owner of Gpow.com (anyone remember that site.. Gouki's GPow?), and I've still never done it, lol. I guess it's something that I just have to bite. I just hope that they.. urmn, bite the bait that I'm going to put up, so that they can't make any more excuses. I'd rather have someone say "yeah we did it, we're lamers!" than lie about it.

I think I can ban IPs if I really wanted to, but I don't think it'd be much effective for data that's outgoing, instead of incoming like a BBS.

Well, now it's clear as water. It's not like other times, when a site -whether because of lazyness or anything else- rips off mmcafe news. In those occasions, the've apologized sooner or later, admitting their error and not making that again. Now, they doesn't care. I wish them a quick downfall.

They blatantly take pictures from other sites/people who scanned them and take claim for putting up the pictures. What unreasonable wankers.

The most damning evidence of the Lupin the 3rd picture would be the picture with the police officers around the white blanket. The identical streak on both the original Japanese scan and NewTechnix proves that LameTony didn't scan them himself, nor does it justify them putting their logo on the picture.

I don't think they ever had the magazine itself.

I have seen some ignorant stupid people before, but that takes the cake. It would take no trouble at all to put up that link that Juan put an example of. I mean, I'm new to HTML and everything and I couldn't done that in a few seconds.

Whoa, I checked my mail right now, and I actually got not just one, but three new messages from them, despite telling them that the subject is over. I won't post it in the mail relay since it's already ended, plus the mail isn't even really a reply- it avoids answering back to most sentences I had written, just keeps babbling nonsense. Still, it's so damn wacky that I needed to put them somewhere. I think they almost have the IQ of a cock. I'm not going to reply to these, since there's no sense in talking to a pair of dicks.

Btw, I'm still in a lucky spot. I was discussing it with staff of The-sugoi.com; they're in an even worse situation since they're a French site-- Newtechnix ripps from them even easier.





1-

I've notice something on the web, people think that sites put their logo on
images to tell that they are the source, we are not doing that, we just put
the logo to prevent others sites to take the images from our site, we not a
Journalistic source but a videogame magazine, were not here to make war with
the whole web because other sites takes our images en retried the logo, we
are just here to inform people of the videogames news, when you will
understand that we're here to inform, not like you to tell every one that
you are the first and the best site, and that people don't care that the
images is scan by Mister X or whatever, it's really pathetic from you. I was
sure that you were going to tell me that you are working since 8 year on
your site, but with your comportment it doesn't advantage you, 8 year and
you react like that, were you hibernated or something like that, just go out
you will see how the reel world is.
Maybe Newtechnix is new but if you reflect in your little mind, you would
maybe thought that we were all working on several sites before, and that our
experience is bigger than yours.
And for your information we have people who work for us in Japan so it's not
a problem to have the Famitsu the first day, but it's not our politic, I
think that you don't come on our site because you would had noticed that we
have put many booklet of games such as Mario Sunshine, GoldenSun 2 before
their coming out or other stuffs like Jap Ad in stores,...

Now that Gamekult had put your images without your logo, check quickly the
whole website before they take them, run.

Madman's Cafe's definitely my best site, you're so funny and mature.

Hope you won't respond to that mail because you're boring me with your
stories, so bye and don't forget to check Newtechnix.com for more info on
videogames.

PS: Do you think we have to put Newtechnix.com Since 2000. And we will add a
page with all the websites that take our images to tell them that it's bad
because we are the source of the all videogame images , I think it would be
cool, like that we will be as pathetic as you.


Bye for ever and I hope you have learned something more today.

It's pretty disheartening to see some site just editing out each and every picture and putting their own logo.



Suck monkeys... I've had my fair share of infringement, so I share your pain. I say we implore nuclear warfare on them, but then again I'm not thinking of the repercussions. (;

No, that would put us at their same level of suckage. Better ignore them, and let other sites know about their thievery.

Damn I just read this whole page.
I can see that you put a lot of effort in writing your e-mail professor...
It's formal and well written.

And you only get stupid answers for your efforts...

I also read the last mail you posted on this thread what a bunch of assholes...

You realize that stopping people from getting a copy of the image themself off the web is kind of hard; it's on your computer if you see it. Even still there's always the printscreen button or other screencapture software that could do essentially the same function. The only viable solution would be to embarass the hell out of them.

Gonna take Fygee's suggestion and BLOW THEM UP TO SMITHERINES!

Ok, jokes aside, I did enough to tell the visitors to the site of their practices, and I think it's adequate for now. I'll be randomly embedding Digimarcs in the future, in case a nutcase comes and plays stupid in the same manner.

I read your email thread, they seem to:

not get that your telling them they should credit where they took the pictures from even if you scanned them from an earlier source,

and/or not understand English that well,

and/or they do get it but they don't want to admit that they copied them from mmcafe.com for some reason.

A lot of web site makers like to position themselves as something of a magical source of information, and they don't have an understanding of journalism or source credibility or crediting sources.

Notice how never once did they deny stealing the pictures. It's like they were trying to get the courage to say "oui, nous sonts les incredibly rude French rip-offs" and couldn't, so instead they take the roundabout way by first trying to justify it, then getting all defensive at the drop of a hat. They must have pissed their pants when they found out they were discovered. Makes me laugh just thinking about it.

I guess that it almost feel like the time when the_droogo broke my VCR.... but hopefuly you will find a solution without injuring the other parties involved... darn.
