[lolwut]

Basically what we want to know is, what can we do about it? As it's copyright infringment.

http://mattx.org/HSP/ <- That's HSP.
http://masterhostuk.com/HSP/ <- That's supposedly "Magic Panel", but it's HSP.

Well first thing is right now I'm not very sure but it looks to me like the only thing they copied was the layout. Atleast some of the code looks original. You can firstly try contacting them and see what they say - but just a suggestion but don't try the whole "frustrated 2yr old with a rattle", maybe try to be professional - also helps if you dont suggest it is a total rip right off the bat, atleast wait until you see the rest of the panel before you say that.

Oh, and if infact he did recode the panel then they only really need permission from "L. Bateson" to actually use the layout.

Anyways I actually know the owner of the site and I do know that hes attempting to code himself a members system/user system to deal with his billing and whatnot so I'll mention that to him next time I see him on MSN. But be polite and you should be able to reach a reasonable agreement :)

Hello,

I do infect own that site.
Please you should have contacted me first...
You must get a few points before making accusations :rolleyes:

1. This was not for public view, as Scriptz said I am learning php and was editing the script to help me learn the login and other functions ect

2. This was in no way been distributed as I was just learning

3. The panel I have been editing for my use only has now been removed from the website

I am sorry if this caused any issues as I do not know how it was found as I am the only one who knows the URL to the panel.
Again sorry for any issues that may have been brought up
As everyone knows people have to learn somewhere

Kind Regards
Luno1599

(I would appreciate it if you could take my URL off the main topic (post 1) or close the topic)

[MrCraig]

you should really code a 'banner' into the functions file so you can stop a url from using your system...

[Luno1599]

I don’t think you get it... it wasn’t intentional... I was just using it to help me learn functions and ect... a new banner was just something i did when i was bored because i have upgraded my photoshop

[LegendOfNoob]

its nice your learning php he would have letten u if you had just asked in the first place

[Luno1599]

Yes i see what you are saying... anyhow its gone now i had finished with it anyway

It's open source, things like that are going to happen... As long as he's not selling it off as his own product, it's completely fine.

[Luno1599]

Yes, as i said... what i was doing was just playing arround i was in no way going to sell this script... as you say i did not design the style
