What is solutionoferror.com?

Post by chris98 »

Hi, I wasn't sure where to post this so I'll just post it here.

It has come to my attention that solutonoferror.com has been duplicating several threads from this website (only changing small parts of them as well as the grammar) - does anyone know anything about them?

I've never heard of them before, but it's made me quite angry that they are allowed to do this, and I don't like the way they are copying information. The site itself seems a bit fishy in my opinion. I initially realised they were duplicating them because my signature used to be similar to this (only in Standard English):
I am presently searcHello ng for more site staff; If anyone is interested Plz email systemwebmaster@strongholdnation.co.uk
SOME of the duplicated threads include:

http://www.solutionoferror.com/php/movi ... 594386.asp

Instead of this:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=138039

Another example:

http://www.solutionoferror.com/php/dele ... 594384.asp

Instead of:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=138091&p=686743&hil ... 3B#p686743

Again:

http://www.solutionoferror.com/php/uplo ... 594355.asp

Instead of:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=138208&p=687193#p687193

Theirs:

http://www.solutionoferror.com/php/load ... 594338.asp

Instead of:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=138190

There are millions more, just search google and you'll find them.

Not at all uncommon. There are tons of sites out there that scrape the content from similar sites and toss a bunch of ads around it.

How are they allowed to do that without infringing copyright laws?

They are not, but they never asked for permissions either. As far as I understand, anyone posting here retains full copyright to whatever they post so you may contact them and ask to remove your posts.

The respectable pages have now been removed - but more content has been put on again...
