Review Site Stole My Review

[lcoughey]

Of all the stupid things to do:

Their review:
http://www.datatoolsreview.com/2010/05/ ... omment-563

My review:
http://www.recoveryforce.com/articles/5 ... omparisons

...and they lie about the transfer speeds of the Data Compass. There is no way possible that you could get a 100MB transfer rate through a USB cable.

Anyway, it seems rather funny that they would say that the info is copyrighted when they completely stole my review.

Any suggestions on how I should respond?

Ask Edison to have them take it down?

Wouldn't that require Salvation Data to admit that it is their site? Perhaps I should just post a comment on each of their reviews with about the issue with a link back to my company website.

Where's your website copywrite notice?

[lcoughey]

There isn't one...technically it isn't needed.

Their site hosted by DreamHost, those guys take copyright issues seriously. If you submit a valid DMCA takedown request to abuse @ dreamhost.com, their website will be brought down immediately.

Yes but we are talking China :O) So best say "Hay You Guys Don't steal my things I NO happy"

Rename this topic to "SalvationData steals and fakes reviews" and next morning this topic will be the first in google results for "DataCompass review" search.
If that's what they want.

I'm pretty sure I saw a post where someone was getting 25MB/second max with DC due to the USB 2.0 interface. That is if it didn't crash.

Not that it matters...you can follow the time line of my review based on the links from this site. The key is, everyone here knows that I created the review...for them to add a column to my work does not give them the right to steal it and not even give me mention.

Yea- i must agree- that is misleading - i got about 20mb/s max when recovering files in DMA mode but if i hit bad sectors i gotta swith to PIO mode any way and i get a few hundred kb/s.

Don't really care- as long as it reads the data.

Regardless of the quality of SD's products, I think everyone can agree that this kind of deceptive marketing is offensive

[ppumkin]

Almost like an episode from numb3rs
Whose the mathematician here to link all the data into something meaningful and predictable..

[drc]

What, do you want me to go back and put bold tags around everywhere that it says Chengdu and some email address @salvationdata.com?

come on we know they take the p1ss. At least you know that your money helped to buy these websites LMAO

Ask Edison to have them take it down?

I did ask him on this one and was told it is there partner in Canada who has done this one. Suggestion to him was to contact this guy and take it off. If you know the partner they use in Canada to sell their tools contact direct. Give some not so friendly advise to them on this one. Or do as maysoft suggested take down the site all together on this one.

[Clusterox]

Contact directly to Salvation's Army's founder, Xiaoning Liang. He is founder and owner of Salvationers. The sad point is, he doesn't know even the alphabets of English Language, so you may need to get help of some translator. But if you succeeded in conveying this thing to him, it will do the job.

For the English contact, try approaching Pat Lin. He is the man behind the scenes for managing the English speaking countries.
