What a bone headed move (thief wants to follow) … my wife logged into her Twitter account today and noticed a new follower had a very similar background as hers. No wait … it’s the exact background.

The only thing I can think of is that the copy-cat didn’t realize that I was the one who designed the background under the site I was running – eTweeple.com – obviously she must have thought, it’s ok to use the same background and then follow the very person she ripped it off of .

The worst part about this is the offending Twit, is not from the USA, and there’s no external link to try and reach this person. Therefore I’m left with reporting this to Twitter. What a joke … I understand there are policies in place to prevent people from abusing the take down notice, but come on.

Why should we as victims have to go through so much in order to protect our copyright. This was something I created for my wife, it’s special to us & unique. Getting to the Twitter backgrounds isn’t something the average person will know how to do either … which makes me wonder if there has been someone else who could have possibly scrapped the html of our backgrounds and possibly others, and illegally offering them to the public.

Anyway … after all the steps I have taken so far to get Twitter to take it down, I now must submit to them a DMCA take down notice.

My wife’s twitter – @sprockgirl

The offending Twit – @josyeblauth

This sucks!
