You try to justify the sleazy stealing tactics by saying that everyone does it. Well little man, this is BS. Just because some kiddies out there decide to use their warez versions of RoboDemo and some stolen content from real business men to try and make a cheap dollar it does not make it right, and the fact that you decided to come here and defend it shows with great clarity your lack of character.

Your friend at Democentre didn't have the maturity or the balls for that matter to own up to his mistakes so he went crying to you to come and defend him. Pathetic.

I assume you are the one responsible for the stolen content?
And you call yourself an "experienced" content writer? Experienced at what? Copyright violations?

It is sad that the internet has afforded you children a venue to use your low end dishonest tactics but trust me, you will disappear just like all the rest.

You and your little friend at democentre try to impress us all with your "experience". We are not impressed. If you had experience you would do business honestly and spare everyone the crap.
I am very disapointed about this message, although I half-expected someone to post something like this as it has become something of a thing in forums like this. People jumping on the bandwagon and taking a side without knowing any evidence.

I am not a plant, nor I am I responsible for any stolen work, my work was simply brushing up grammar and checking to try and avoid simularities. Now, granted there is lots of simularities still, but, there are only so many ways of saying how to do things. Possibly in the past, DemoCentre's original writer did copy content, but now I believe it to be sufficiently different on the tutorials that I updated anyway, and I won't say which ones unless Nathan allows me to.

Nor do I appreciate personal attacks against me, I did my best to be objective and to present you with what I knew and thought in the nicest possible manner, and in return get called lots of things. To me this is no worse than copyright theft which I am entirely against. Yes, I am experienced in both content writing and indeed operate a medium-sized hosting business which I will not post here because I don't want to break any advertising rules.

It surprizes me that "Blue" is a community advisor when s/he is responding like that to a perfectly decent message by me. But never mind, I am not going to be a permanent member of this forum after this thread.

I think i'll answer Artashes questions next, at least s/he was far more amicable and pleasant asking questions which I would have asked were the roles reversed. My rewording involved the following. I had word documents of all of the tutorials that I was to reword, I then brushed up all of the grammar and added a few extra details where it was thin on the ground. I then went around several of the competitors which Nathan specified checking for anything that was too similar, I then edited some parts to remove offending phrases. So no copyright infringements would have occured through me doing that, quite the opposite. I hope that answers your question, if you have any more please ask

Finally i'll come to vitto, who I would like to thank for being extremely polite in his message even though he is from DemoDemo. I will try my best to answer your questions here although forgive me if I miss any parts.

1) The XMail tutorials are similar I agree, but I will quote my previous comment that it is very hard to tell someone to click a button without any similarities. XMail was indeed one of the sets that I reworded slightly to make it more professional. Granted they are similar and granted that I can see that they probably have been copied in the past. I wasn't denying that, I was saying that Nathan had realised this and had hired someone (me) to reword them slightly to avoid problems like the one here.

2) Can't answer that, I do not work for DemoCentre I just re-wrote some of the tutorials

I can see that you take your business seriously, and I can respect that, I would be the same in your position. I wrote down the similarities with OnlyDemo's and providing I can find them, I would be happy to send them to you. Again I understand not wanting to go to court due to international boundaries and I hope to, now that I am dragged into this, that an amicable solution is worked out, it would be better for both parties.

The original point of my message was to say that Nathan actually is making an effort to change the tutorials and that I wouldn't really call him a thief, because it would have been the original tutorial writers that copied the content, and once he realised he started to change them, which to me shows professionalism.

Any further questions please ask.
