Yep, looks like someone straight up cloned us *shaking fist*. We are aware, will see if there's anything we can do

wait a minute... you're saying that website was an unauthorized clone of AndroidCentral...

I stumbled upon that website while doing Google search. The site doesn't have any log-in buttons, but I was wondering what if they did? I would not have noticed that it wasn't the genuine AndroidCentral unless I looked at the URL.

Is that even legal? You guys should absolutely try to get that website taken down ASAP.


Thanks!

Yep, we've taken appropriate action already. Thanks for the concern

I somehow stumbled across it, too. Thought it might just be another domain you guys owned but got suspicious when I couldn't log in. I was about to start a topic about it but decided to search the URL on the forum before that and found this thread.

that illegal clone website of AndroidCentral is still alive and running as of right now.

 

[James Falconer]

Action has been taken, hopefully it will disappear soon
