Its a hong kong site, it sure doesent suprise me. I've dove all over the world, and if its one thing Ive learned, its the chinese/koreans/japanese as a majority (although im not saying everyone) disregard or have no concern at all for stealing/copying someone else's hard work. Ever stroll through thailand? Singapore? Philipines? People walking around all day selling pirated movies, music, computers, etc. The SPA says over 90% of illegal copying happens in Asia. Know what else pisses me off? They absolutely have no clue about sustainablility of sealife as well as blatent plagirism. They think both are perfectly acceptable. I tried arguing with a guy from china about why he wanted to kill the pufferfish. He kept sticking his arm out by his groing saying "make you strong". I told him the answer to that is viagra.

Ive watched the boats from Japan come into my backyard (pacific ocean) and illegaly fish for salmon in the middle of the night. Ive read the japanese whale fishing articles about how they are only killing the whales for "scientific research". yeah, right. Ive watched the fishing boats from Japan/China come into Palau while i was there and fish illegaly. (btw, did you know that when the Palau Navy goes out to patrol they find illegal fishing 100% of the time? 100%. EVERY SINGLE TIME! And they are NOT Palaun fishing boats. While in Palau last month, I talked to a diver that had her picture stolen from her website and used on the cover of a (hard copy) chinese dive magazine. They take everything we make and copy it, then resell it for a cheaper price using inferior components. This probably sounds like some asian bashing, and maybe it is in some sort, but mostly I am bashing unfound myths that alot of them still believe in that are complete crap, yet keep decimating our fish stocks. (shark fin soup anyone?) Unfortunatley, those myths are tied to a specific race, so like the saying goes, if the shoe fits....

Wow! Nice rant!

Welcome to Rebreather World.

Next lesson will be paragraphing and the use of the apostrophe...

I gave this a little more though and did a little digging. I work in IT and when I find an IP address in my logs that is trying to hammer one of the servers I complain to the IP who owns that address. Well it looks like mandarin divers uses a US based ISP (see below) which means there is a good chance you will get action if you email their abuse@ email. If you go to interland.com it comes up www.web.com and their abuse address is abuse@corp.web.com below is there address phone number and names of their executive

The important pictures on my site are encoded in Flash. You cant rip them off at all.
I did it to prevent the eBay rip off merchants using my pictures. It works, have a look at the gas switching page and try to copy the full picture of the rebreather.

There are flash decompilers out there as well than can rip you of that too, my guess would be to post a big text along the picture, being as much seethrough that you can still see the text as little as possible not to destroy to much of the pic.

No encoding, however clever, will prevent someone from taking a screen shot. ..

No, I think he was talking about the nice, shiny, yellow case
