Maybe we should start copywriting the FL.

Check out this link:

http://www.hatsmadeinitaly.com/hatbrands.php

It is almost word for word lifted from my Hat Manufacturers list, which I compiled here at the FL about 6 months ago (with the help of many of our in house experts . . .) . . .

Glad to see my little research project is being used . . . But it would have been nice to have gotten a little credit . . . or at least for the FL to have gotten the credit.

At the bottom of each page is noted -

The material on this site may not be reproduced, distributed, transmitted, cached or otherwise used, except with the prior written permission of Key Publishing Group.

You may want to inform them of this fact.

Perhaps we all should drop them a note.

of perhaps we should let MK deal with it...? as the owner of the copywrite notice at the bottom. Rather then bombarding them for what may be an honest mistake.....

In my son's junior high they deal with a lot of "honest mistakes". We all know the rules or know that you check before you post on your business site.

Of course...but the fact is....is that Key Publishing is the -only- authorized representative to ask them to cease and desist.

Don't sweat it. I know it is a direct lift from our site, but it is no skin off our nose AND they are helping spread the word about hats.

Keep in mind we are a message board. If they lifted an article from Classic Style ......that would another thing.

Looks like someone's OFAS account with a (not so)slick marketing frontend and a Google Ads cash cow hooked up. They aren't selling anything on the site itself, they're just linking to their auctions and using 'Made in Italy' as a tagline. I'm willing to bet it's a lurking FL member that doesn't post, possibly just visits here to figure out what to charge for their stuff.
