What’s Cooking, Taco?

Plagiariarism by Taco Kuijpers

Taco’s new cook­ing site! (the image above is not Taco, but com­pletely unrelated)

We recently found Taco Kui­jers strangely famil­iar blog (5000 file requests – steal­ing all our source files – from the same IP within a few min­utes don’t go unnoticed).

Some googling revealed that he is an archi­tect, has stud­ied at TU Delft and lives in Delft, works at Mole­naar en van Winden and loves cook­ing and plagiarism.

Taco Source

html source snip­pet of taco.​go.​dyn​dns.org – copy­right notice

dysturb source

dys​turb.net source for comparison

Steal­ing our layout, he still both­ered to sub­sti­tute the copy­right note with his own name – but not both­er­ing to ask or inform us. We are aware that word­press itself is pub­lished under the GPL license and we love and embrace shar­ing – for exam­ple all con­tent we pub­lish here on dys­turb is licensed under a cre­ative com­mons license (see our info page). This does not extend to the painstak­ing pixel-​pushing and coding work which went into the design of our site, though. So, if you know Taco, tell him to con­tact us and we’ll sort it out with him!

    YO TACO!
    I think Thomas has been pretty nice on you… espe­cially con­sid­er­ing all the incred­i­ble hours he (and we’ve) spent design­ing and pro­gram­ming the web­site.

    DO YOU KNOW HOW FUCK­ING SLACK YOUR BULL­SHIT PLA­GIA­RISM IS?
    Fuck­ing kill your site, and if not, we know where you live… you also made that public, stupid.

    STRAIGHT THE FUCK UP – DUDE.

    Appar­ently the loser has taken the site down. Good. Hope this is sorted and doesn’t happen again. Your work on the other hand is very well appre­ci­ated in the rest of the world. Greet­ings from Berlin. Hope things are alright in R. I might be back there soon…

    Oopz!

    Never intended in offend­ing you.
    Sorry Thomas!

    This was just a first try for a simple non-​public blog and I used some of your code to try to under­stand how set­ting up a blog works.

    Anyway need­less to say I sure like your design!

    Again sorry if I have offended you.

    I have put this site down now…

    @taco: Look and learn is fine – copy and paste not. And that you’ve changed the copy­right notice doesn’t really help your case.

    There are plenty of free themes for word­press which you can read­ily use – check out http://​themes.​word​press.net/. And mind their licens­ing.

    As to your site being non-​public: every­body can see http://​taco.​go.​dyn​dns.org/ – with your bills, movie down­load inter­face, etc. exposed to any­body who cares to look. It is absolutely public – fix that in your own inter­est (a web search for .htac­cess will do).

    But in the end you’ve taken it down. And we appre­ci­ate that.
