Copyright And Other Issues With Google -> Looking For Advise
Jan 21, 2009
Some time ago I've found in Google Book Search one of my books, 'published' there by my former Russian publisher, who has lost any rights to my novel 6 years ago. Furthermore, according to our agreement, the publisher was entitled to publish the novel in a book form only (which makes any other form of publication illegal).
I've contacted the Google Book Search Team with a request to change a copyright holder's ...
I am planning to host a java portal which would be used for online listing and buying. I am expecting around 100 (max) concurrent users and approx 20,000+ hits a day.
I am sure about bandwidth and space requirement. But I am confused about Heap Space Memory?
The site would have around 50 dynamic screens.
Should I go for private tomcat jvm option with around 128 MB of heap space memory? Is 128MB heap space sufficient for above type of user requirement? Or please suggest the type of configuration I can go for.
I've emailed their host about using copyrighted materials, I've discussed it with the owner and now I've ran out of ideas for what to do to stop this guy from stealing my ideas/concepts/coding.
I've had people emailing me and ringing saying that either: I ripped him ... which isn't something I want to be told when my site was out first.
So my question to you is... what's the best way to deal with someone who's:
I hope some of you are using Google Apps and can help me to find an answer to the following question:
I own two different and independent domain names (e.g. domain1.com and domain2.com). I'd like to use the Google Apps (Standard, free edition) with them to create two different and totally independent mailboxes (e.g. abc@domain1.com and xyz@domain2.com).
But how many Google accounts I need to do this? Can I manage two (or more) independent and fully functional domains using one Google account?
P.S. Help section contains descriptions of aliases for multiple domains, which are just pointers or shortcuts, but not a fully functional mailboxes, so this solution isn't something I'm looking for.
first time building a website, and was thinking about setting up a blog type website similar to the likes of engadget etc....
However I'm curious as to how I can source images and how copyright relates to a blog news site. Obviously with the quick nature I would be posting like other news sites I doubt there would be time to email the owner of a site and ask for permission and await a response.
So maybe theres a loop hole in regards to blog news sites for permission?
I did some independent contractor work for a friend starting a new branch of his business from mid-April to mid-July. I should have known better than to trust this "friend" as he is a snake and has not paid me for the work I did beyond the partial month of April. May/June/July bills are due totaling $3800.00 and he will not pay up. The middle of July was the last work I did for him and am no longer doing any of his projects.
As part of start-up and marketing a driver education program I created a website. I paid for the (generic, not associated with his business name) domain name, am the registrant, paid for the hosting, and full control the website. The website design and updating fees are part of the amount due, and I told him I would be happy to give him administrative rights to the website since I already had it up and running.
When he figured out he couldn't sneak behind my back and talk the web host service out of the access info, he was quite ticked off. Out came the gloves and he started a different domain name/website with someone else and they cried "copyright infringement" to the hosting company so my web site would be suspended. QUESTION: When the web host receives a complaint such as this, what is the proper procedure for handling it based on the DMCA and copyright laws? The host's site only has a statement in his policy about what to do if you are a target of copyright infringement. Common sense would tell me (although laws and common sense don't always go together) that as the customer of the hosting company, I should have been notified, given the opportunity to take down whatever they were objecting to, and then show the host that I did take the material off. I need to look into the Intellectual Property aspect of it, but that is not what I'm concerned about at the moment.
What rights do I have as the one getting bushwacked to have my website re-activated? Am I entitled to view all supporting documents? I have opened a support ticket asking why it was suspended 18 days ago, they responded with the emailed complaint (minus supporting documents) from the new web host, and didn't say what I needed to do to remedy the situation.
I intend to clear all of his stuff off my website and use it for another purpose, since I've already paid for the domain name and a year of web hosting.
The next step, after getting this website freed up again will be taking the deadbeat to conciliation/small claims court to collect the amount due with the assistance of an attorney. In our county if you appeal a judgement, it goes to district court and you have to have an attorney. I can see this guy with deep pockets financially beating me up for the fun of it. I can't afford to play that game.
Sorry this got long, but the moral of the story is: Do NOT trust friends who are snakes to others in business dealings...they will be a snake to you, too.
We have a portal which collect videos from all the video sharing sites such as Dailymotion, Veoh, YouTube,etc... No actual videos are hosted on our servers.
Recently, We got a letter from the lawyer of the copyright owner of some videos, stating that we are not allowed to link to these videos on our sites. If we dont remove those links they will take legal action on us.
So, my question is that can they actually sue us for linking to videos on youtube,dailymotion....?
The server is located in Chicago, if that makes any different?
As far as i know, if we dont store the actual copyright content on our servers then it is fine, at least with US law?
And i think they are just trying to scare us since there are like hundred of sites that doing the same thing and i see keeping doing it.
have built quite a library of music now. It would be great if I could upload music to my hosting account, and then just access it from my phone. Would that be allowed so long as I did not share this music with others? Where might I be able to set this up? I checked with hostgator and they said it was not okay.
When i check dnsreport, i see that google.com has more than 1 server. And i wonder what is that method called? is that something called scalable servers ?
[url]
Your google.com A record is:
google.com. A 64.233.187.99 [TTL=300] google.com. A 64.233.167.99 [TTL=300] google.com. A 72.14.207.99 [TTL=300]
I have a site with heavy use of large and small images. The site gets majority of traffic from US and Asia. Using a CDN for JS, CSS, site images and user uploaded images will help the site a lot to speed up.
One of the cheaper options is Cachefly which I was considering, until I found an article about using Google's App Engine as CDN. http://www.google.com/search?q=google+app+engine+cdn
I think it is very inexpensive way to put your content on a CDN. Has anyone tried App Engine as a CDN? Does anyone know if they serve content from local servers in Asia, Europe or is the content served from US?
What can be disabled (Mail related) if the only domains on the server use google apps "gmail" for mail? I only really need roots mail. Anyone tried this yet, I figured I asked before I use trial and error.
I installed recently Postfix + Dovecot (yum) on a CentOS 5.1 test box. The configuration went OK, I can telnet on port 25, 587 and 465 with no problems.
Is there a way to use DNS system (eg. Power DNS) so that based on geographical location Googlebot will locate a localized version of the site and hence will get a higher ranking for that country?
I want to shift my mail to Google Apps (standard version). Currently my DNS is pointed towards 1and1 dedicated servers (having problems with 1and1 mail services). Want to keep hosting with them but change the Email to Google apps.
The Registrar of the domain is Netfirms, Inc.
My current Settings for nameservers in Nefirms CP are: ns29.1and1.com ns30.1and1.com
Google Instructed me to verify first by creating a CNAME, which I did in Netfirms control panel.
'googlexxxxx.mydomain.com' Pointing to 'google.com'
DONE.
Google gave me the MX records to enter in the Netfirms panel.
ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
DONE.
It's been more than 24 hours, neither MX updated not that CNAME lookup 'googlexxxxx.mydomain.com is propogating.
What I am supposed to do here? I am waiting here for last 24 hours. I think that I have to set up these settings with my registrar (Netfirms) rather than it has to do something with 1and1?
Yup,Its True Google Has Been a Web Host for quite some Time. Well They don't host Website's but they have an ICANN accrededited License(Domain Registrar Licence) as well.
So I checked on the Google Webmaster tools, it has a nice graph now saying that it's hit my site 30 times/day for the last month or so. HOWEVER, when I look at my logs (I log googlebot) I have over 17000 page views in the last three days. Already I am using the Agent to remove images and some of the more expensive queries which are too old to be in the cache (Googlebot looks at pages on my site which are very old).
What other things should I be doing...? I appreciate that Google is indexing my site, but this is more of a scrape, than index. Just for this month alone, looking at my stats, I see the following:
Not sure if this is the right forum; please go ahead and move if necessary.
I host a Google Earth file, and in awstats, GE shows up as an unknown browser. For that reason, it's pretty impossible to get more-or-less accurate statistics for what version of GE people are using by looking at the analysis in awstats. Example output:
In Webalizer, it does show you the top 55 Agents, and does manage to show some GE agents there, but it's not very pretty nor is it complete. Example output:
Top 15 of 236 Total User Agents # Hits User Agent 1 120168 34.41% GoogleEarth/4.2.0205.5730(Windows;Microsoft Windows XP (Servi 2 37391 10.71% GoogleEarth/4.2.0198.2451(Windows;Microsoft Windows XP (Servi 3 32127 9.20% GoogleEarth/4.2.0205.5730(Windows;Microsoft Windows Vista (Se 4 28562 8.18% GoogleEarth/4.3.7191.6508(Windows;Microsoft Windows XP (Servi 5 13101 3.75% GoogleEarth/4.3.7191.6508(Windows;Microsoft Windows Vista (Se 6 8649 2.48% kh_lt/LT4.0.2737
My question is, is there a plugin for awstats that'll give me better results for my stats? Or any other solutions that people want to suggest? I'd like something easy to install or set-up, please don't suggest I run any funky cron-jobs or something.
Hi one of our websites had been infected when it was injected with malicious javascript codes. However google picked up on this and marked the website as harmful, its been sitting infected for a few days before we realised.
Now i have removed all the malicious codes and have been waiting for upto a week for google to remove the harmful message from its search engines.
Im guessing i have to wait even longer? Is there anything else i can do to speed up the process?
I'm using cpanel and google apps. I made mail in google apps mail@mydomain.com
I set up MX entries. When I sending mail from e.g. yahoo or hotmail to mail@mydomain.com I can receive it. But when I'm sending mail from php contact skript which is located at my site I cannot receive mail, like it doesn't exist. why?
Need a UK web host that uses UK IP numbers that Google recognises as such, for my .com domain name.
How to tell?
Pick one of your most popular .com sites on the IP range you give new customers, copy a line of unique text from it, or popular keyword they rank for.
Enter it into Google.co.uk. See where their site comes up. Then tick the 'pages from the UK' option. Is it higher in the SERPs, or gone? Try the same thing with Yahoo.
If higher (i.e. Google thinks the .com (or .net) is hosted in the UK) I also need:
I know that Yahoo has Small Business hosting service. How about Google or MSN/Hotmail/W Live? Do they have similar services?
Unfortunately, my client insisting on hosting with on of the above companies as he heard that Yahoo offer unlimited space for email and their private email xyz.my-client-website.com emails can be accessed through yahoo interface.
