Why some people deciede to do things is absoltuely beyond me. I received
an e-mail today from Multsanta letting me know that someone had ripped
off my discography from the Squarepusher page and placed it on his own
site. Not a big deal, there are 3 other sites that are using my
discography formatted differently and with proper credit and linkage.
However, this guy has gone totally over the fucking edge. Not only has
he ripped off my HTML exactly and all my gaphics but he has given me no
credit for my work and instead credited it to himself! He doesn't even
include one mention of me or a link to my page. Here is the offending
site so you can see for yourself:
http://www.islandia.is/~junglizt/pusher.html
Notice any similarities? Needless to say I was pretty pissed off about
him ripping off my stuff. I sent him this letter today:
quoted 16 lines Do you realize how totally uncool it is to steal things that don't

And this is the reply I just recieved....

Needless to say, I am even fucking more pissed off at this idiot now. If
anyone can see how he changed it so it's not mine please let me know.
The only thing I can see that he changed is the link to e-mail me no
longer e-mails me but e-mails him! And it gets even worse! If you follow
the links to and other the other sections from the toolbar it says that
he hasn't copied those yet and god knows what the fuck he's going to do
there.
So can someone on the list plese tell me what I can do to stop this guy?
Perhaps some of the people who are into the page can write him e-mail
and let him know how fucked up it is to steal someone elses page. His
e-mail is: junglizt@islandia.is
Any other comments, help or advice would be appreciated...
