    Check the structure of their FAQ and the links on their site. Some parts of writing are even missed, like "Reproduce FLAC content?".

    honey, unless you're thai, of course you can't read it.

    Error, yes, i can see that the structure is the same. in fact, the DFU tools link refers to meizume. :D perhaps we should let them know that we're on to them.

    We should have copyright for our FAQ. Then we can accuse them of stealing our things.

    I think that, if someone here was copying this forum to "thier own", they already saw that Error found out, because it's gone now. I've been trying to load for 15 minutes, and get nothing.

    Also, I just noticed the forums are going extremely slow... and from my experience, this can happen when someone is mirroring your site with one of many programs that do that. Might want to check your connections and where the bandwith is going, if you can, Err0r.

    hmm.. not sure why it's not loading for you. i've just visited the site again and the page is still there. perhaps it's your connection that's the problem?

    I don't think a lawsuit is necessary. They translated most of it after all. Meizu Thai seems just to be a local reseller of Meizu products in Thailand.

    I can comfirm from a Thai friend of mine thats it’s website of distributor in Thailand.

    I also dont think suing will benifit anyone and be very expensive, but they should have ask permission to use the FAQ and at least give credit to Meizume and to Err0r.

    It is good to see a miniplayer website/distributor in Thai language or any language local language, the more local support that can be gained the better uptake of the miniplayer will be.

    We couldn't sue, anyway, unless it was a copyrighted forum site. All we could really do is inform their server hosts, and they'd shut them down if it's found they are stealing from here.

    The only thing left to say is WTF!

    We got copied... the whole thing... well whatever. At least would be nice to see our names there as reference.
    Internet has an answer for every question out there, not likely to be always the answer you're looking for.

    Hi everyone,
    I am Thai. It's true that this website is a Meizu distributor in Thailand. Most of their stuffs are from many sources like Meizume, Meizu.com, and others.
    I agree that they should have come up with their own contents but on the other hand, I think it is useful for Thai meizu's fans to get access into information about meizu miniplayer in Thailand for there is no other Thai Meizu sites that I found so far but this one.

    Yeah, but they should have asked Err0r for permission, I think he would have allowed it with a little link to meizume.

    I agree that it's good, it was just funny they forgot the link. :D

    I know that some Thai can't understand English, so its OK. But it would be better if they can cite their sources.
