Seems that these dodgy affliates of "aquaponic4you" just wont stop... recent rash of affliate scumbags feature a picture of one of MY systems... claiming it as either their own.. or built from the dodgey "aquaponics I'll ripp u off" ebook plans by the equally dodgy "Mr. John Fay"...

Guess I can't complain too much, I had a terrible moment of deflation and disbelief when I saw the Speraneo S&S logo only a couple of years ago.. I felt so guilty...

How could I have made a logo almost the same as theirs? I had no idea.. Well, I must have seen it at some time in the past and perhaps it was in my subconscious, but to see their logo a few years after creating ours and using it for so long, that was a really bad feeling...

:oops:

It's kind of a natural design for the concept yin/yang balance and whatnot. Also bacteria are hard to draw and ugly. :-P

Not a questionable aquaponics website, but a questionable website using the image of Will Allen:

Look for Eric S.

Have sent an email to Will Allen. Hopefully he gets it/reads it.

I wrote off again to another new aquaponic website the other day after noticing one of our diagrams up there, as well as other images that I'm sure don't belong to them.. Now a days I keep it short and sweet..

Quote:
Please stop using images on your site that do not belong to you.


And the response..

Quote:
Sincere and genuine appolgies. We certainly do not wish to offend. I was not aware that our programmers had used other content. Please advise as to which image you refer to and I will amend immediately.


Always apologies, always no offence intended, and always the website designers fault.. :roll: But hang on... I have to tell him which photos aren't his to use? He doesn't know which photos are his? :lol:

Probably because none of them are his and he just wishes to know which ones you know are not his because otherwise they have nothing for the web site since it was all skimmed from the internet.

After a few communications, and explaining to this guy that he "can't just use images from the internet because they below to others", the reasoning evidently was that they were all from google images so we ok to use... :think:

He is still demanding that I tell him which image is mine so that he can change that one, and he's getting a bit narky and grumpy... So he's joining the list.. Well it's not the only reason they are joining the list, his experts are selling a commercial system for 1000 pounds... :lol:
