GayPornSpace.com plagiarism (paysite reviewers beware)

Seems they are fond of lifting reviews of paysites off of other review sites and posting them on their own site pretending they wrote it themselves.

This review:

http://www.gaypornspace.com/site03.html

This review:

http://www.gaypornspace.com/site01.html

And this review:

http://www.gaypornspace.com/site02.html

have all been taken, word for word, from www.juicygoo.com. Not just word for word, but all of the pictures that are in the lifted reviews on gaypornspace are also exactly the same as the ones on JuicyGoo... so they took the thumbnails, the fullsize images... didn't even bother to rename them!

Simply lazy.

Anyone familiar with them?

If you have your own review site you might want to keep an eye on GayPornSpace.com to make sure your own reviews don't end up on their site being presented as theirs.

Perhaps you should shut their CorbinFisher affiliate account down and, you could also probably find their details via that as well

This lifted from AVN:

GayPornSpace launched just a few months ago, after webmaster Mark R. (an industry vet who started out as frequent MSR Video performer Mark Reed before trying his hand at the now-defunct StudNextDoor.com) decided to use his Christmas 2005 vacation to do something a little more constructive than scarfing down leftovers. “I was playing around on MySpace and came up with the idea for GayPornSpace,” he says. “I wanted to create a site that looked good, was fun, and stayed on [task] while accomplishing those goals. A few graphics and a bit of site mapping later, and I had the basic framework for a free website that could support affiliate programs and future advertising.”

And this lifted from another source:

"I don't know why I'm so possessed to rescue dogs. I just listen to the voices in my head. I hope it's God. I mean if it wasn't, the conversations wouldn't be about puppies, now would they?" states Mark Reed, GayPornSpace owner and webmaster.

What a strange situation this is turning out to be.

Any more information anyone?

Should spend less time writing press releases, more time writing his own reviews.

I know the following:

#1) They auto-subscribed me to their newsletter when they originally started. I don't know how they got my email address. I considered that they lifted it off my public message board profiles. However, my favorite speculation: my address was propagated to GayPornSpace from the crafty hucksters at JRLonline.

#2) GayPornSpace's page background graphics are mind boggling. It seems to be the initials of their site as seen through the eyes of an insect.

Well, the good news is that he'll be killing himself with Google, they're already not too hot on affiliate based sites, but with duplicate content already published elsewhere, he'll be getting no traffic from them.

Are you sure?

I mean you pretty much came on here and trash talked the company then say you talked to them and everyone is happy?

Was there a misunderstanding here or did they really steal the stuff you said they stole?

Hey guys -

I hope you notice that all this was a misunderstanding - and that no content was ever stolen.

Maybe we can as a community leave judgement to George Bush and the religious right - they seem to do that really well.

If anyone has any questions, before damning me to hell, please feel free to contact me.

thanks,

Well, an explanation might be in order. I mean, Brian wrote the review in question and picked the pictures for use in the review, which then appeared on gaypornspace almost exactly the same way they appeard on Juicygoo, and then, with no explanation, it was all magically "OK" and everyone was happy.

So if you want to totally clear things up, explaining the details might make webmasters feel more comfortable.
