Recently I became aware of a chameleon website offering to sell a "Chameleon Secrets Ebook" and the owner of this site has recently started posting here with little more in her responses then telling people to check out her site for more information. When I looked at her site, I noticed some very familiar content. Here are a few things I noticed:
- Chameleons As Pets (http://www.chameleontips.com/pet-chameleons.html) - Actually stolen from: http://www.chameleonsonline.com/

- The Veiled Chameleon (http://www.chameleontips.com/chameleon-breeds/veiled-chameleon.html) - Actually stolen from: http://www.kingsnake.com/rockymountain/RMHPages/RMHveiled.htm

- Feeding (http://www.chameleontips.com/caring-for-chameleons/feeding.html) - Actually stolen from: http://webhome.idirect.com/~chameleon/owners/chapter4-sub1.html
Chameleons Plants (http://www.chameleontips.com/caring-for-chameleons/plants-branches.html) - Actually stolen from: http://www.chameleonsdish.com/habitat/plants.htm
- Habitat/Caging (http://www.chameleontips.com/caring-for-chameleons/habitat-caging.html) - Actually Stolen from: http://www.ukchameleons.co.uk/housingintro.htm, http://www.ukchameleons.co.uk/housingplasticmesh.htm, http://www.ukchameleons.co.uk/housingplastic.htm, http://www.ukchameleons.co.uk/housingaluminiummesh.htm, http://www.ukchameleons.co.uk/housingglass.htm, and http://www.ukchameleons.co.uk/housingwood.htm)
Well, you get the idea, I'm a little tired of finding every source for everything on this person's website. As the owner of the site where some of this information was stolen from, I can verify that this information was not taken with permission. Please take time to look at the site and if you see any of your stuff, you should let them know what you think about their plagiarism and copyright piracy. This is illegal and every violation can carry a fine of up to $100,000, especially since they are trying to sell a product comprised of stolen information.
