Chinese www.fashaoyou.net website steals content from hardware websites
Thief alert - In this post I like to warn webmasters and websites out there that a website called fashaoyou.net steals content from hardware review websites, they rewrite the content, steal the photo's and images and will re-brand them as theirs. This happens more often these days. Now we are okay with others using a photo or benchmark / screenshot or two, but ripping complete articles and posting them as theirs is definitely a bridge too far.
In today's example we'll take fashaoyou.net, a Chinese website that pretty much takes everything and anything from websites like Guru3D.com Just browsing this website we have seen articles ripped from HardOCP, Hardware.info, Nikktech.com, TechPowerup, TechSpot and many many more.
We have tried to email fashaoyou.net but of course they are hiding their real whois info and emails, we are interested to hear their reaction (if we ever hear from them).Be warned though, these guys are frauds.
Update - the owner responded and is in the process of taking articles down as such we removed the links we earlier had in this news-item. We'll keep a close eye on this website. We urge other webmasters to check out the website as NIL articles on there are original.

I totally dig that thermal imaging camera nowadays, I didn't see need for it before but it's hugely helpful.
I also recognised the guru3d test rig.

the solution is one that many others have already used for a long time:
Splash (or watermark) the guru3d logo diagonally across all used photo's (including benchmarks)
Of course it's stupid that you have to brand your own property in that obvious fashion but, in the outside world this has also been needed to since the 80's.
I can remember a time where the front door could stay open all day and night and nothing.
Now you have to brand your kids coats and bags, just so others don't run off with it and thats just a small example of the necessary changes required to keep your personal property personal but as everyone can see......jackers jack more, hackers hack more...and now even reviews get stolen.....what is next...tooth robbery?
Can you imagine what a thermal imaging camera has costed Hilbert?
Now that spend time AND money is just stolen and used like that.
Intellectual property theft is also something that you bang a person head against the wall for

We did so in the past but it just looks bad to have logo's inside charts and photo's. I might have to revisit that choice it though, this is happening more and more.

it's way obvious the guru3d style so no need for that thankfully, imo.
those thermal images are total guru3d the sec you see them. and the benchy results too.

Isn't imitation the sincerest form of flattery?
Maybe not.....
I've had the same thing in the past with photographs. Once they're out there it's probably too late.
