It pretends to be this models 'official site', with a big picture of her basically saying 'welcome to my web site'!!
Also the URL is her name to! 'TheModelInQuestion.com'

I agree about trying to resolve this situation amicably, but the idea of somekind of traffic deal is frankly quite sickening.
There cant be two 'official' sites linking to each other with banner adds can there!?

The other site would have to stop claiming to be her I guess before a deal. Agreed????




by the way thanks for the feedback on this guys.

Don't be emotional about it. That is the surest way to spend silly money on attorneys... i know because i have done it before. And you only realize how much it sucks after the money is already spent.

It is better to work with them than against them. Getting traffic from them will make you money. Spending money on attorneys will get you in a hole that you better hope the site is around long enough and the starlet stays cooperative enough to get out of.

Look to create a licensing arrangement with the other site so that you can maintain control of the copyrights. Get them to put links all over the site to send you traffic. Use their efforts to grow your biz in a cooperative way. Take the high road and you will get further faster. At least imo, and that is worth less than two cents...
