Ask HN: I made tubalr.com and just found a rip off of my site, what now?

4 pointsby cjstewart88about 13 years ago
I made www.tubalr.com and just found a complete copy in php, using my exact images and code: http://videoella.com/index.php. They even have a facebook page with 900 likes: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Videoella/371198972932560. The code can be found openly on github, I know this is a "well what do you expect" situation... but I'd still like some feedback. my github repo: https://github.com/cjstewart88/Tubalr

1. Looks like the site is down, I got a 404 error.<p>2. If its on Github (on a public repo), why are you upset? Apart from them using your analytics code, that seems to be a given that you're letting the code be available to others for use.<p>3. I agree with adding a license if you haven't already as someone else suggested.<p>4. At the end of the day, clones happen (even if the code was taken from you). It sucks but best thing to do is to keep moving forward.

You should really consider adding a license to your code if it bothers you, not that it will stop someone from giving you attribution or anything, but it can't hurt.

Do a DMCA take down. <a href="http://www.dmca.com/Takedowns.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.dmca.com/Takedowns.aspx</a><p>It works like a charm.
