| website thief
if you have big online shop, beware of this so called off iste browser:
HTTrack off-line browser aka HTTrack Website Copier
I have two such sites, at one raid on one of them, it ate up 190MB bandwidth, 65MB on another.
despite the good will of its creator, it is absolutely a nightmare for website owners in terms of both BW abuse and copyright.
I have a business associate whose entire website was stolen by someone in india (well, he published his tel no on the stolen website which was an india number). he only changed logo and contact details and didnt even bother to change the text/contents.
according to the creator, it is difficult to ban it. open source generates a lot of good and very useful software but i doubt this would be one of them. |
