Hello,

I noticed today that Windows Vista Magazine Brazil is stealing content from other websites, translates it and posts it on their website. I know that this does not involve the UK Magazine but this is outrageous and someone should do something about it.

The article with the title "Transforme radicalmente o seu Windows Vista!" (Radically transforming Windows Vista), published on 17.05.2007 which can be found here:

http://www.revistawindowsvista.com.br/node/171

 is a copy made after an article published on the Windows Vista for Beginners website, called "Pimp your Windows Vista", which can be found here:

http://www.vista4beginners.com/pimp-your-windows-vista

We published the article on the 31st of March 2007.

The article published on the Windows Vista Magazine Brazil has the same structure and the same links. It even has links towards movies and demos made on our site.

All of the content from our site is published under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 License and the magazine from Brazil is not respecting our license.

I know this is not the case of the UK Magazine. I really appreciate the UK team and their work but if you can help us, we would really appreciate it.

Thank you!
 

Hello Carusen,

When I go to the first link I get:

Acesso negado

Você não está autorizado a acessar esta página.

Does this mean the Brazil site has removed the offending article?

Great beginners site BTW I will be studying it in depth.

I just received the confirmation from their part that the content was removed from their site. It seems that they made a mistake and apologized.

I'm glad you like www.vista4beginners.com. 

Some Mags do swap letters, pictures and stories with one another.

It's just easier for them
