Huh?

I'm paid a salary for my work on Subeta (and the other sites) which I use for my vacations. Which I don't really take very often, and aren't that expensive.

We spend tens of thousands of dollars a month on payroll (paying the staff members) and on servers a month kiddo ;)

Hmm... yet you do the same thing? The difference is Lurapet's doesnt take vacation with the money people spend on the site, it actually goes back into the site

i'll give you that on the strange skull candle. i suppose there is enough variation between the movie characters' clothing and the clothing inside the trunk. but there is nothing "based on" about the narnia trunk. just because it doesn't outright say THIS TRUNK IS BASED ON THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA...come on. every single thing about it looks EXACTLY like the movie. exactly. from the snow queen dreads to the ice crown to the head plate to the lost school boy...everything as well. down to a T. it wasn't a brand new movie, no, but there was no original story or thought behind it whatsoever. i even read the descriptions to that one, although there wasn't much of a description to any item inside it. does it just not count because the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe was originally a book even though the physical imaginings/designs of the characters come directly from the film? i'm not trying to be accusatory i'm trying to understand how exactly this is different?

Re: Hm..

Keith Kurson — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 11:37:23 -0000

There is a big difference between what we do, and what this is.

When we make a trunk that is BASED on something from pop culture (ie: the skull trunk) we make our own story (if you read the desc on the trunk it's there) and modify or change a lot of clothing / major pieces of the character.

Not to mention, they'd have been perfectly in the clear if they'd made them based on the original story (from the book) because that has open rights and anyone can build or write or draw or sell things related to it. Instead they chose to release ones based on the BRAND NEW movie and copied it down to a T.

the thing is, though, turkish delight is a FOOD item, despite the trunk itself looking similar to the narnia version of the item. it's still not outright copy-pasting like this incident. despite the similarities to certain pop-culture items, it's still not blatant copying like lurapets has done. that's what i think keith was trying to get at here.

Re: Hm..

user — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 07:31:02 -0000

sorry, keith, but just i don't see how this is any different from subeta's turkish delights trunk or skull candle trunk. exact replicas (which some items from our trunks are) or blatant ripoffs (which most items from our trunks are) the principle is the same. not to side with lurapets here, but you're in no position to judge anyone for doing this...

Re: Hm..

rachel — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 01:43:29 -0000

Subeta does this too though. I mean, you at least make some changes so its technically not violating copyright but... I don't get why you're pointing this out with such negativity when what Subeta does is only slightly better. It's still all basically ripping off pop culture stuff to get people who like ___ to like your site more cause it has ___ on it too! The whole concept seems like a cop-out from making really cool ideas yourself, to me :/

On an almost completely unrelated note, god damn are Lura's avatars ugly as hell no matter how you dress them up.

I am pretty sure I have an account there.

Is there a way to report possible copyright infringement?

I'm not so much a fan of how the national defect has tripled... Nor how we "pulled out of Iraq" but surged the amount of troops in Afghanistan.

I'm kind of sick of people talking about how stupid the blog post is and how unprofessional it makes him, etc. Because, it's not a blog for Subeta directly. It is a personal blog abut Keith Kurson who happens to be the owner of Subeta. He should be able to rant about whatever the hell he wants. Whether or not it be nit-picky, or completely biased. It's a blog. It's a place to post exactly how one feels or thinks about things. And he has done that. So get over it.

I do agree that it is extremely similar, and you (Keith) should have the right to feel upset and angry, and blog all you want about it. But, I also agree that it is quite hard to become original when Subeta has already taken every good idea ever. ;P A lot of ideas posted in this aren't exactly the most UNIQUE things, and a billion sites have them.

But whether we like the post or not, it is completely your right to rant about anything you please.

I completely agree. I joined lurapets when it opened but quickly gave up a couple of hours later when i saw it was almost a complete copy of other petsite *cough*ichumon*cough*subeta*cough* shouldn't the whole point of making a new petsite be to make it different?

Very delayed reading and reply, hope it's OK to do so. I actually found this kind of amusing because I was on Laurapets BEFORE subeta. I had been floating around virtual petsites for years. Big names, little names, in between...I've played them all. I was even on subeta WAY back in the day when it was brand new (sorry I am picky and it didn't fit what I was looking for back then...so account was eventually deleted, not to mention since you guys moved blah blah...anyway).

I was actually surprised to read this and I wanted to go back to LP and check it out to see if it was still going on...shockingly (*cough*) I cannot locate it. But I'll research that more later.

Ultimately I want to just say thank you for actually taking the time to make things in subeta different than other places, even if they are similar. I know a lot of it goes to the staff working with dedication to making new content/ideas come alive on there (so pass that along as well since I don't post it enough in the feedback area sometimes). This is the ONLY pet site (since I was 14 and neopet addicted) I have stuck around with for longer than a few weeks since it has SO much you can do on it. Heck, I have friends who completely loathe virtual petsites who play and enjoy it. :p

I'm sad other places have tried to rip off ideas and make a profit from stuff the staff at subeta worked on, but I suppose it isn't really shocking. In the end, I hope nothing to *this* degree happens again. Really not fun having to watch...OK maybe a little fun after it's all over...but that isn't the point.
