We have been Cloned!

CarNewsChina.com has been cloned by a Russian website called Carnewschina.ru. We have nothing to do with this website. They are systematically stealing our content including the history articles and the spots. They have no permission to copy-paste our content. They do not link back to our site. Up to today they stole at least 100 articles. And look what they did to our watermark, which we add to all our pictures to stop the stealing. Check this sh*t:

Just pathetic.

We have asked our Russian ‘colleagues’ to stop their unfair practices. They admitted they copied our content and said they would add links, but that hasn’t happened so far.

They do nothing else but copy-pasting our hard work. This is a incredible sleazy and lazy way to make a few ruble. We have been building this website for four long years and it is finally getting somewhere. Other websites copy our content every day, that is not nice but it is the internet, but none goes as far as the stealing-content website Carnewschina.ru, stealing everything.

All their content is our content!

The situation reminds us of a problem we had with CarBuzz in 2012. They have since changed their ways for the better. Let’s hope that happens again this time, some time.

So I will ask once more, and I know they will read this: Carnewschina.ru, stop stealing our content, create your own website, and be good.

Update:

They have added link-backs in two articles (example), directing to our homepage, looking like this:

That orange strike-trough thingy is the link. Well thanks then!

Update 2:

The are adding more stolen content articles without any link as I write these very words. We have decided to inform their advertisers, and then much more.

If you, dear reader, want to help us, please leave a kind message on their contact form (scroll down a bit).
