So am I a bad guy for outing a ripoff, if the guy doing the ripping is popular here?
There are least two products that I know of, what or who is next? Do I spill the beans? I remember not too long ago, no one, NO ONE could say a bad word about Bradholio, without being chastised. I don't want to be shunned for shedding the light here, but this stuff makes me mad! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |

So long as you state facts and not opinion I see no problem with bringing forth your accusations.

If the product was reengineered to 'Make it better', and is, thats America. But if it is a rip off I would like to know. |

It is one thing for Mr. Stromberg to copy and paste entire sections of someones website onto his own in order to sell a similar product. That is plagerism. But it is entirely different to sell the same product, a product that is maybe not as good but cheaper, or one that is better. That is competition. I would walk softly on that... |

This is exactly why we have the U S Patent Office. The term "patent pending" would have put a completely new light on this issue, and put the originator of the design in the catbird seat! |
