Title: Re: [internetworkers] Knockoff Site

The Auction FAQ page is word for word identical.  I would ask for an injunction against them.  I'm no lawyer - but someone on this list is and it would seem like an easy thing to get for something so blatant.

I haven't heard of anything this blatant going on before. We've been making screen shots, and our lawyers are looking into it - do any of you have helpful advice or witty commentary?
