The third offense.

http://jahe.moonfruit.com/

The content? That's DD1.

I was furious, to say the least. Not only had I recieved Kat's word that she would never plagiarize our content again, but I had recieved a written confession ( both found under the Confession tab ). Over the next two and a half hours, I worked to compile a third request to have her website shut down. The following is my letter to moonfruit.com.

____________________________________________________________________

I regret to say, this is the third letter I have had to write concerning a matter of copyright infringement, all by the same person. A young lady named Kat, with the screenname tragicskyline@aol.com, has twice before now stolen copyrighted material from my good friends Brianna (iightningbox@aol.com, previously found at silentcacaphony@bellsouth.com), Becca (vieendouieur@aol.com) and Donna (sadisticstealth@aol.com). I have been authorized as an agent to speak on their behalf.

In both of the earlier cases, we were successful in having Kat's moonfruit websites shut down. Both were found at http://blindhaloproject.moonfruit.com/; when she lost her first account, she made a new one a few months later and simply placed the infinged material from the first copied site on the same address. When we confronted Kat both times about her obvious infringment ( entire pages were stolen nearly word for word ), she publically defamed us, saying we had stolen from her. She even went so far as to post on her site's disclaimer that we had in fact stolen from her, even though we had proved in shutting her down the first time that she was in the wrong. For a second time, she was shut down.

Months passed, without a word or site from Kat. Until she stumbled into a chatroom I was in. The following is a confession of what she had done in the past. She was able to beat around the bush when confessing, but I got what I needed from her.

Subject:

I feel sort of awesome.

tragic   skyline: I know that we've had a bad past. And it's my fault. But I wanted to know if you'd be cool if I joined the Blue Moon Storyline.
bIack cadillacs: It's not my storyline; I have no sway. It's up to you. And, yeah. We have had a pretty shitty past.
tragic   skyline: The only reason why I'm asking is so that we don't clash if I do, and if I'm accepted into the storyline.
bIack cadillacs: I'm really not very sure.
bIack cadillacs: I'd be more inclined to put it all behind me, if you'd just been honest. And I'm not wanting to turn this into a war of the words and open up some old arguement. But it's hard to forget something like that.
tragic   skyline: Fair enough.
bIack cadillacs: I am more than willing to be cool with you, if you'll admit what you did. And I'm not doing this so I can be like, `hah! We win!` It's a personal thing. I need to know the wrong has been righted.
tragic   skyline: I am admitting to it, Cassie.
bIack cadillacs: I really appreciate that.
bIack cadillacs: And don't ever, ever do it again. Because shutting you down is sort of a pain in our ass.
tragic   skyline: Understood.
bIack cadillacs: Sweet.

Six months have passed. Donna sent me an email today containing the link to her new website, which once again steals directly from copyrighted material. Once again, she simply changes a few words here and there, as well as the location. Rather than Las Vegas, it is now Italy. Even after giving her word to us, and confessing in writing, Kat has stolen from us. For a third time.

Our original website, entitled Draw Dead and created on May 27, 2005, can be found here. http://courez.awardspace.com/old/drawdead/about.htm

Kat's new website with our material can be found here: http://jahe.moonfruit.com/

( Note the addition at the bottom of the first page, considering her `copywritten material.` She's speaking directly us, just as she did on the last two websites we successfully shut down. I won't be surprised when she adds something defamatory about us. )

The following is a text-by-text comparisson of our work, compared to hers. Ours is on the top, including the link from our original website. The second paragraph is Kat's work.

A section of our Jokers page, found at http://courez.awardspace.com/old/drawdead/jokers.htm:
The Jokers division of Draw Dead is mainly comprised of con artists, some of the best actors the world has ever seen. They have the ability to pick up any disguise on impulse and have an entire background made up in minutes. Creating new masks and characters to be is effortless and becoming that nonexistent person is even easier. Their methods of persuasion and manipulation are flawless. They can trick even the most clever of people into handing over highly important information and numbers, basically handing over money and possessions to these cons. When it comes to getting what they want, there's no stopping the Jokers.

Also included as Jokers are hackers. The computer geeks, the nerds - call them whatever you want, but it stands firm that these people may be the smartest of all. Numbers, codes, computers, all as simple as the snap of a finger. Hackers can break through highly guarded systems and locate important information and numbers in a heartbeat. Their skill with computers is beyond any you'll ever see. Banks, museums, government files, none are safe from the hackers.

Kat's replica page, entitled The Burning Wires:

You can't trick the Burning Wires, for if they want something - they will get it, no matter the cost.

Our Aces page, found here: http://courez.awardspace.com/old/drawdead/aces.htm

Oh, where would we be without this lovely group of folks? Any good criminal organization always has to have their killers, their sadomasochists, the good ol' people who just love to take lives. These people thrive on the pain and suffering of other people and make money off of their lost lives and souls. These people have no problem shooting someone else, don't even bat an eyelash at the splash of blood. Death is a daily part of their lives and the art of murder made their lifestyle. The art has been honed, worked on, trained until every aspect of it sharpened to perfection. Here I give you The Aces, the most dangerous people on the globe.

Weapons are their tools: guns, knives, poisons, bombs. Literally anything they lay their hands on can be considered lethal to anybody else; their sheer strength and skill is enough to bring swift death to anybody who becomes their target. These assassins are some of the best on the world and are much sought after by highly powerful world leaders to secretly do their dirty work, to tie up those loose ends that so frequently seem to come undone. We all have our enemies. The Aces are here to take care of them.

Kat's Burnt Gods page ( notice that she actually ialicized what she stole ):

Next up, is out original page entitled Queens, found at: http://courez.awardspace.com/old/drawdead/queens.htm
Lust is in every human's nature, every human's need and primitive instinct. It has made slaves of many with its temptations, its pleasures, its beauty. Addiction abound in this land called Sin, there are some who have been lucky enough to escape lust's slavery. On the contrary, those few have mastered its twists and temptations and have taken lust itself as their very own slave. These people know everything about it, know every nook and cranny, and use every single human being's weakness to their own advantage.

These people, these masters and mistresses of sexuality and desire, are called the Queens in Draw Dead. They are the pimps, the madams, the whores, the gigolos. They rule the world of sex and carnal sin with an iron fist, these Gods and Goddesses of the bedroom. Their beauty and grace can bring anybody to their knees.

Don't mistake these people for street-walking hookers, no. Instead of the customers ruling them, they rule the customers. Pampered, dressed, and cared for to the very epitome of perfection, the Queens are nothing less that sophisticated and gorgeous. They can have anything they desire at the flick of their fingers and have crews of doctors, plastic surgeons, and servants waiting should their service be needed. Draw Dead doesn't let a single flaw go unnoticed in any member of the Queens.

And here is Kat's replica on the page titled Gasoline:

Here is a snippet of our website's Jacks section:

http://courez.awardspace.com/old/drawdead/jacks.htm

In our modern day world, it's easy for anybody to become addicted to something. They feel an emptiness until they find this certain thing and suddenly feel whole with it - so they want more. Obsession. They have to find where to get more, and more, doling out cash for more. It's obvious that drugs fit snugly in that situation. So where to go but a drug dealer? Or perhaps you're in need of specific supplies: weapons. Where do you go? Dealers. In every turn we must find somebody that sells something we need.

And here is Kat's, word for word, found under Neurotic Ashes:

Almost done. Here is our original page, entitled Deuces: http://courez.awardspace.com/old/drawdead/Deuces.htm
So the world is a fucking mess...but somehow, there's a handful of people that are still out there, hoping, faithful to the world they think exists. But they see just how much everything is rotting, tainted by corruption and greed and sin. The world is turning black with hate and crime, yet those few people can still see the beams of light between the black clouds. Those people know what their lives and world are becoming and are determined to stop it, beginning with one of the best organized crime syndicates in the world: Draw Dead. The members of Draw Dead have taken notice to these enemies, these antagonists, and have come to aptly call them The Deuces.

Do not mistake the Deuces for another division of Draw Dead - they are the organization's antagonists. The Deuces aim to destroy the organization and everything it stands for in the name of justice. The Deuces have no base, but instead find their way into the organization's various bases. They are comprised of basically anything: investigators, detectives, officers, assassins, dealers, mafia members, politicians, spies, etc. Anybody trying to dismantle Draw Dead's hold on Vegas and to pry its fingers from world affairs is considered a Deuce.

The Deuces are the only members that have the ability, besides the Royal Flush, to murder or rape a member of Draw Dead without any penalties. Deuces can do nearly anything. That's what makes them so dangerous - but at the same time, nothing is stopping Draw Dead members from killing them, either.

Finally, here is Kat's Perfect Flame page:

So the world is a fucking mess...but somehow, there's a handful of people that are still out there, hoping, faithful to the world they think exists. But they see just how much everything is rotting, tainted by corruption and greed and sin. The world is turning black with hate and crime, yet those few people can still see the beams of light between the black clouds. Those people know what their lives and world are becoming and are determined to stop it. Only this time, they have no help from the FBI Agent who was mysteriously murdered. These men, and women of the badge; Doctors with nothing else to do other than to diagnose a Member of the January Arsonists with some type of mental disorder just to see them behind a big white door, and the Ones whom want the Arsonists stopped. It doesn't matter the cost, it doesn't matter the score anymore. These Perfect Flames are ready to be burned, and they will walk into the fire, and just hope to walk out alive.

These men, and women have no faults, and they can do anything to the Arsonists. They can commit the biggest deceits of all, they can rape, and they can maim without justice presiding. They are the antagonists, and their aim is to destroy the organization, and everything it stands for; only this time - for good. These men, and women are comprised of anything: investigators, detectives, officers, assassins, dealers, whores, politicians, spies, and the like. They can even be one of the main players within the roots of The January Arsonists. Careful of who you trust, you might end up feeding the dogs what they want.

The Perfect Flames are the only members that have the ability to rape, or murder any member of The January Arsonists without penalties. They can do nearly anything, and this the reason why they are the enemy. They are dangerous, and they are a force to be reckoned with.

As you can see, Kat has taken our site's content word for word. We have provided sufficent enough evidence, I hope, to ensure that she is shut down by moonfruit a third and final time. We can only hope that her AOL account will be suspended, as well. The third time's a charm.

____________________________________________________________________

I went on to include the previous letter sent to moonfruit, which contained all of the evidence from our last successful attempt to shut her down ( found under The Second Offense ).
