Hey, in my casual surfing and interest in other games etc.. I came accross this. I thought someone might find this information important on some level. There seems to me to be an obvious legal issue here, so I thought a heads up was in order for CCP.
It's quite funny really.
Here's the url:

Hmm, something tells me someone is getting a nasty email today.
The people in the upper-right of the eve page look badass. The knockoff page has a pair of nerdy-looking D&D types. Coincidence?

Yikes! i cant believe the guy was stupid enough to 'copyright' it...
If they had any brains they would at least say in the copyright who they stole it from.
I roleplay... there is this computer game called "Earth - The First Genesis" where i play a character in the early 21st century. |

Guy's a moron. I feel kind of bad for him, since he probably did put a reasonable amount of work into his site, and the chance of him keeping it up are nil in its current incarnation.
Then I notice how much of a blatent ripoff it is, and remember how much I adore plagerists. So I hope CCP screws it to him.

MG! It's the game I used to play. Stopped playing it because I thought the people there should get a life. EVE in comparison, even in periods of PvP, is nice and relaxing compared to Shattered Galaxy which is an MMO RTS (Massive Multiplayer Real Time Strategy game). Think of Starcraft + Mass Pandemonium, then you have an idea what SG really means.
FYI, Nova appears to be a clan (called regiment) within SG.
The real SG website is here.
http://www.shatteredgalaxy.com/
Not even close to EVE.
(It's a Korean game too, so mech and vehicle designs and avatars are much more anime oriented.)

My God, I'm speechless. That's so blatant a rip off, I hope CCP brings the fury of every lawyer in Iceland down on that punk.

from the forum there in response to 'Corinthian's accusation:
Quote:
I designed this site about 3 years ago and donated my work to ultimates2k4. some ***** named Oveur stole my work and sold it to some fly-by-night group of l33t haxors in iceland.
Last I heard, they were going bankrupt from not knowing how to patch or update the 3d-engine they stole from a couple of teen punks in reykjavik.
Not sure whether to believe parts of it or not considering CCP's unbelievably horrible patch record.
Guess we'll know the truth soon if this thing gets downed in the next 12 hours or so..

After comparing the source code, the code looks original... But the design isn't.

The claim from the forum account that was created 5 minutes before posting? I think I'll have to wait for the actual admin to respond, instead of a 15 minute old account, before I trust those claims to be more than an immature little prank by someone who's just found the site.
That having been said, for an immature prank, its pretty damn funny.

Sorry to say but the source code looks to be original and most of the graphics are original.
If he were to remove the blatant copies on the front page, CCP couldn't force him to change it.

Hehe if he is a teen then its not worth sueing him, what can you possibly take from him of any value, his Nintendo?
He should change the design though, copying others work is not cool.

Threat of a lawsuit would be used to get rid of the offending site. Not to make any dollars.

It's rather easy to take the source of a website and noob it down a bit and make it look original, putting it into a more comfortable format with the same look.
Also note that the "World of EVE" link that exists today was not in the original design, however the rip uses "World of SG" for the same purpose.
