Apparently, my company website has been copied by an official branch of the Chinese government. Although, Ghandi has said that Imitation was the sincerest form of flattery, I am not sure how I should handle such a blatant ripoff of Lokad's copyrights.

Key interesting facts:

• plenty of "left-over" on the Chinese website from the original one.


• imaginative ways of recycling irrelevant illustrations.


• it's a .gov.cn website, that is to say an official Department of the Government of China.

The Business of Software folks have already quite few ideas on the subject. I will probably ponder the case a few days to decided what to do next.

Co-worker suggestion: Rinat is suggesting me to recontact them saying that since they appear to like our website that much, they might want to try our forecasting technology too.

A few screenshots in case the Chinese website gets updated: 1, 2 and 3.
