A China-based Rip-off of Our Good Work
Curse you JianWei Guo! I wish you evil and bad fortune for stealing our website and trying to make money from our labors. You'll regret what you did! I felt my blood pressure rise today after I stumbled once again on a site that is based in LuoYang, China. It's a complete rip-off of our GoNOMAD.com site, and is designed to make money by putting up ads on stolen repackaged content.
These scoundrels from China took the entire GoNOMAD website and copied it. Then they replaced every mention of our name with their own, called Popular-link. Using a copy of our site from 2005, they created a huge site of their own by copying our pages and substituting their name over ours. They even pretend to have their own blogs, again clumsily pasted over versions with no new content.
They have no interest in publishing...they just want to make money pretending that they have content. We know that content doesn't come easy---we've got to pay for it and edit it and get permission to use photos etc. It's a hard job and you could say imitation is the fondest form of flattery. But we think JianWei should go to jail for theft instead.
