Ibanez Guitar Players Seems a little slim on content and little heavy on ads. Just an FYI... Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - 8:01 am:    Anybody read the Guitar page introduction and then ICW's homepage? What do you think? Should I be flattered or annoyed?

Seriously, if you did not know you were shamelessly copied there you have my permission to be annoyed. Paul Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - 10:23 am:    To All: I rummaged around the site for awhile last night and then had a friend investigate the "source" of the rest of this site's pages. All of the "content" on the review pages are lifted from sites like Musician's Friend and other commercial sites. There's nothing original here. In fact, in the case of the guitar intro page, it's blatant plagerism...quite easy to do on the Internet. People who are trying to make money on the net through creative use of affiliate programs and "click-thru" programs still need to know that you can't just hijack another person's creative work. The site is owned by one Yury Pheshenko in Stravropol, Russia. I'm going to email him and see if/how he responds. In the meantime, I'd be leery of clicking thru on any of the commercial links.

Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - 3:03 pm:    I was hoping we were as it's a Russian site. Hollywood don't make those east v west, CIA/KGB/MI5, double agent, Berlin wall, spy movies anymore and I kind of miss the suspense of living in fear of MAD! Oh well. Did you get a response from the email John. Did you remember to send it in code? sixosovitch Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 01-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - 3:49 pm:    Tim...I can't believe youknow Todd ! Guitartim Username: Guitartim Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - 5:06 pm:    Yea, and they call him 'Guitar Todd' to boot! That little hacker really pisses me off!
