ProfStill awaiting your decision on this.Whilst you think about this, can I just point you to what Rob has already said……”Yes I sent you an email when I made the site back in Feburary to say I stole your idea………..I understand where that guy is coming from, yes I did copy his idea of starting an Online Bingo Club and sending out newsletters and having monthly prizes etc.”Could someone who has said this REALLY be held up by CAP as an example to others, and be something that CAP are proud to put their name to?Alex, in response to your comment (“I tend to think this is more a case of someone trying to patent “taking money through betting online” (i.e. like the bodog situation) rather than actually blatent scraping.”)I’m not trying to patent ‘bingo portals’ or any such thing. I’m highlighting someone copying a site. Ok it’s not word-for-word scraping, but it is a straight copy of concept AND content.There’s a difference between ‘that’s a neat idea, I’ll copy it’ and ‘that’s a neat idea, I’ll use it to inspire me to find my on way of doing that’.Prof, I await your esteemed decision.
Is this thread going off track a little?
Maybe this needs to be sorted out between the 3 parties involved rather than a public flogging attempt. By the way I want to make it known that I am totally impartial here and am not taking anyones sides, but I think it needs to be taken elsewhere and let us get back to the voting topic.
Or maybe I am wrong? :shhh:
Anyone fancy a beer? :cheers:
Actually, I had a Bingo club sort of like that ( set up differently but the same principle) for several years and I discontinued it a few months ago. I may well reopen it once the US situation resolves.
While I am an ardent defender of intellectual property rights and go after copiers with a vengeance, I don’t see much of a case here.
It’s a business model, and the economy is built upon businesses with the same model competing. Two lemonade stands at different corners of the street.
If there were any actual copying of content, you’d have a lot of venues to resolve it.
These are just my thoughts, you might want to ask a lawyer to find out for sure.
Bingo seems to be recovering a bit these days .Martyn , you should start a beer for votes thread lol.
Sooo Martyn I have voted you now your turn to go vote for me
Does that mean I should be asking people for votes too?
Are we declaring war Martyn :devil:
No Renee, people can only vote once so if you ask them to vote then you kinda missed the boat!
Most have sailed off on the HMS Beacon heading towards Best Affiliate Manager Winnerville!
:roflmao:
Seriously….. Make Love, Not War. :wink-wink
P.S. Are these the CAP Awards 2008 or 2007/2008? :sarcasm:
Nice Martyn.
So – when are the winners announced so we can see if Martyn truly IS the Best Affiliate Manager at CAP if not the whole world?
I have feeling Martyn seen this day coming and started asking for votes 2 years ago hehehe.I love Martyn’s humor , havent had much chance towork with him but definitely starting to give his program more attention.

Well Martyn I guess if you’re campaigning so much you deserve to win…
I don’t think ill be getting a big head until the winner is announced though, just in case I look stupid afterwards. I’m sure the best man will winQuote:I don’t think ill be getting a big head until the winner is announced though, just in case I look stupid afterwards.

I am sure my mum still has yet to vote :tongue:
haha
Claire
Only joking, I am not counting my chickens, I actually dont think I stand a chance against some of the others…I think I am there to make up the numbers.
All part of the fun.
Either way I would like to wish everyone luck in whatever category they are nominated in.
Good Luck. :hattip:
I cant win…i was being totally sincere then.
But, if I do get the booty I will look to solve world poverty, reduce crime and look after fluffy bunny wabbits.
