    Well, he doesn't make any money from the site, so aside from lacking originality, I don't see that it matters much.
  • Random ChaosRandom Chaos Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
    Oh - thats very bad. He didn't change the graphics, the links, nothing!

    And don't forget the copyright on the B5Tech page: "Content of B5TECH.COM is the property of Brandon Bray and may not be reproduced without written consent sent via U.S. Postal."
  • Random ChaosRandom Chaos Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
    Gets even better: Go look at his links and credits page:

    "Brandon Bray: Who with exception of Babylon 5 itself, is the main inspiration for this site."

    Now wait...Brandon Bray is who copyrighted B5Tech.

    Right...

    BTW:

    Thats for formal discussion over this.

    But still, there's a whole lotta great content there... granted there's no money involved it's just a kick in the face to who made it

    Not only that, but if B5Tech decided to make money from it, they no longer have all the material. It is outright plagerism. It should be prosecuted legally.

    There may not be money involved, but they're still ripping off the work he put into his site.

    Indeedy.

    Although I'm pretty Disappointed by the reaction fo the people in the forums. They're just going over the top. Threats are not the proper counter to a copyright violation.

  • RubberEagleRubberEagle What's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?
    ahem.. did anyone think about mailing Brandon Bray about that site, or are we just making lot's of hot air? :)
  • David of MacDavid of Mac Elite Ranger Ca

    LOL.... I guess the guy also took the TV reviews on his site straight from the Lukers Guide......

    OOOOpsss..... looks like he just linked to it.... my bad
  • PJHPJH The Lovely Thing
    That's outrageous. I hope that clown alliance will get what they deserve. Losers who can't obviously make anything themselves, except steal and plagiate.

    No, he didn't just link to it, he snarfed them, the guy from midwinter has sent him a "Credit me or get it the frell off your site" type of notice.
  • Random ChaosRandom Chaos Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
