7. Did you really started with ripped-off texts from another website?
As shameful and painful as it is we have to admit our guilt here. We contracted copywriters to assist us with the content of the website. We didn't check the validity and originality of the texts and we ended having a great designed website with stolen texts... We have been working on that since we learned about it. Most of the texts have been rewritten, the rest are being finished as we write this topic. I hope you even the original creators of the texts will understand us - it's not logical to create a new service, much more beautiful and useful in terms of UI than the current alternatives, to translate it on 20 languages .... and to have non-original texts (it really doesn't make any sense). This is a fault we admit as well. I hope our fast reaction on this topic will return your fate in us.
Dear Bitcion7,
As many people have already noticed, your firm has admittedly plagiarized the text (and more) from Tradehill's website.
We pointed this out in the above posts and asked you to change the text several times. You have been apologetic and explanatory but have not remedied the situation. It has been two weeks since we've made multiple requests and less then 1% of the text has been changed. We understand it takes time to change a site but you have not taken any steps yet. Additionally, you've made plenty of time for marketing your company via lengthy forum posts and updates.
It is also very coincidental that your site came on-line 4 days after ours, with the exact same text, same layout, same features (like instant buy/sell), offering referral codes. We have spent time and resources on developing our own website and ideas please respect our intellectual property and remove the text immediately.
The text on Tradehill's website under Introduction, Add Funds, Withdraw Funds, Support, Deposit Funds and more, has been directly plagiarized by Bitcoin7 under coincidentally the exact same titles of Introduction, Add Funds, Withdraw Funds, Support, Deposit Funds.
See below - just some - of the exact plagiarisms which currently remain (at least up until the dating of this post).
