Is it simply a bit of code that is used like a counter or most other site trackers...or is it something more complicated.

The google link doesn't give much in the way of specifics :rolly:

If it's just a bit of code to add then you should be able to add it directly to your index.tpl file

Umm. i have look though that file and it doesn't make sense to me. Google would want the tracking code ( a javascript) before the ending body tag on every page you wish to track.

Could someone help with an example or where specifically to insert the code.

Thanks

Looks cool. We use AWStats but would be interested in giving that a go.

I like the world map part to see where people are coming.

You can put that code almost anywhere.

Why not add it just above the </body> tag of:

/skins/*/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl and cart.tpl

Wow. I have a friend that is a attorney (patent / trademark specialist) and am close friends to another attorney. PM me or email me to see if we can do something. You have my email in your customer database.

Regarding the thief, you are in luck (sort of). A check with WhoIs? tells us that the server that hosts the offending web site is http://catalog.com based in the USA. Therefore, they are subject to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Browsing their web site suggests strongly they are a well-established and legit company.

Before I explain further, let me insert here that while I am not an attorney (nor do I play one on the net) I have a fair amount of experience with US Copyright law and the DMCA - and I own a hosting company. My copyright experience is as a former officer, for about 8 years, of the nation's largest and most aggressive labor union for freelance writers. My job was educating writers on how to protect their copyrights, especially from theft by other web sites. But keep in mind that what I am about to tell you is heavy duty stuff. Unless you apply it properly, if your complaint is not properly founded, you may cause yourself problems.

Software such as Cube Cart and mods and even the sites created from them, are covered by the same copyright law as songs, poetry, novels, statues, photos, movies, music recording, videos, etc. In the USA, you have copyright from the moment you create the itme. Copyright registration )which is very cheap and can be done online in a few minutes) is required only if you intend to sue for damages plus legal fess. But to use the DMCA, registration is not required. Nor do you have to be in the USa. Just the hosting server being in the USA gives the law jurisdiction.

The DMCA was created after a huge expensive lobbying campaign by the major producers and distributors such as Time Warner, Disney and all the major record companies because of Internet theft. They got it written their way. Find a stolen work online, stop him within a few hours. It is an astounding law - controversial to some - but what the hell - it also protects us little guys.

The DMCA allows anyone with a complaint of online copyright violation to shut down the offending web site with one letter submitted to the hosting company. All hosting companies are required by law to post an outline of the required Notice of DMCA Violation form letter on their web site - and when a properly submitted letter (known as a "conforming notice" or "conforming complaint") is received, the hosting company must remove the offending material EXPEDITIOUSLY. They are given the option to shut down the entire site.

That word "expeditiously" has been tested in court rulings and the court says it means, right now, without any delay for any reason or excuse such as verification of the complainer's copyright, notice to the offender with a request that he remove the stuff, etc. - The law says that the host must do it first and then let the offender know he's been shut down.

You can see one version of this outline on my own web site at:

http://buildinghosting.com/legal.htm

The offending web site's hosting company has almost the same thing at:

http://hosting.catalog.com/copyright_infringement.html

The reason they are basically the same is because the DMCA language spells out the requirements of a conforming complaint and it is pretty specific. Complaints not in the required form do not have to be acted upon. But conforming complaints will NEVER be ignored by any sensible hosting company based in the USA.

Now, why would any hosting company shut down a web site just because they get this letter? The DMCA calls for a $500,000 fine AND a two-year jail sentence for the first failure to expeditiously remove the offending material. The fine is doubled if they ignored a second notice.

Also, if the hosting company is acting in response to a properly drwan conforming complaint, they are held immune to legal action from the web site owner because the hosting company is only doing what the law says they must do.

The common objection to the Draconian and expeditious compliance requirement is that there will be false complaints by malicious people. Keep in mind that the complaint must be fully detailed, including the identity and contact info of the complainer. False complaints are felonies.

Does it work? Ask the arrogant real estate agent who took my world famous article about whale watching (the first ever published on the Internet - http://travelthenet.com/columns/clips/whales.htm) and put it on his web site to sell real estate in that area. His web site went down in less than 6 hours after my complaint was received at his hosting comapny. The site came back online. Or ask the publisher of Hand Held Computer Magazine who put my 6,000 word article about rapid programming tricks for the Palm O/S on a CD and got Palm to offer it on their web site. Palm removed the CD containing my article within 4 hours.

So Goober, I suggest that you consider biting the thief in the butt. Shut him down with a bang. When drafting the letter be sure to follow the rules in full detail. It's possible the host may yank his entire site, not just the part containing your stuff.

Good Luck !! Keep us informed, OK?

OMFG !

First Amendment ? Anyone ?

Which says:

QUOTE

Bill of Rights

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

END QUOTE

So how is the DMCA a First Amendment issue?

Also consider U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8. that establishes the right of creators to control what they create.

A person who writes something original owns it. The DMCA says you can't put it on a web site with his permission. And same law tells a host to not be a party to theft by serving stolen property.

Where is the problem? A scumbag stole Goober's work. Here's one way for him to regain control.

The problem is not with the scambag, the problem is with this law which gives too much power into the hands of individuals and goverment.

Say I don't like you and you own a website in US.

If I wanted to shut you down (at least for a limited time) I would write to your ISP and articulate a valid claim (which is not valid of course). It would take a couple of days to check falsely, but you will suffer anyway.

That's what I'm talking about.

I am not an American so I couldn't care less about this law, but it's still pisses me off :)

I hear you, but with sincere respect, you obviously have not read the details of my posting - and I suspect that you have never been a victim of this kind of theft.

A casual letter to someone's ISP will not invoke the DMCA. The details required to make a "conforming notice" identify and point directly to infringeing materials and show where they came from. The identity of the complainant must be verifiable. The complaint includes signing a formal oath that invokes perjury. The oath must be witnessed. False complaints are felonies. While there may well have been such, I have yet to hear of one.

Until this law came along, the only recourse a vicitm had was a lawsuit that would take years and cost many thousands of dollars. The DMCA is one of those rare cases of a law that offers the little guy the same opportunity for justice as a major corporation. As the response of Palm showed when I caught Held Computer Magazine, the big guys do not sneer at the efforts of little guys to protect their property.

What galls me almost as much as the blatant theft of intellectual property (my wife is a jazz vocalist with 3 CD recordings which crop up free all over the internet) is the flaunting of that theft. It's difficult to swallow at the best of times, but when it is thrust in one's face, in one's own home so-to-speak, it is in my opinion even worse. I am simultaneously appalled and incredulous at the sheer audacity, chutzpah, cheek of the DH who's done this. Hope you can nail this guy, Alex.

CubeCart has been a victim of thismany times. Hence I banned this user as it wont be tolerated.

Good work Brooky! Let's hope the legal minds in this forum can provide a solution for goober's plight. Goober has helped me and may others and he definately does not deserve this s**t. If he did all the hard work there is no way this scumbag should profit from it! :)

Wow. . . and to think while I was skimming OScommerce forums that someone over there made a comment that the cubecart forum was dead.

::laugh::

Just took a look from the link and the page has

"The store is currently offline for renovation. Please visit again soon."

Does renovation mean he's looking for someone elses work to rip off?
