Digg Deja Vu: China Style

China is known for its incredible skill to be able to copy just about anything. All they need is one sample and they can very quickly reproduce an exact duplicate for about 1/10 the price.

From sports logos like Nike to other popular websites like Google and Youtube, China has not stopped with simply products in their attempt to copy anything popular for themselves.

Welcome to Digg… China Style:

Unlike the real Digg.com, Verydig.com only requires 5 positive votes to reach the front page and they openly encourage making friends to help get more Digs.

The funny part is in the small print, the site asks you to inform them if any rights are infringed by a submission and they will promptly remove it. Irony?

Visit VeryDig.com and view the atrocity yourself.

In digg.com you will see inthe bottom said
“DIGG, DIGG IT, DUGG, DIGG THIS, Digg graphics, logos, designs, page headers, button icons, scripts, and other service names are the trademarks of Digg Inc.”

But now someone use the “Digg” word as the domain.

That is Digg.com.my

Check it out.. that is copy of the domain.

This is illegal right?
