The Benefits of Creative Commons
It would seem that by not copyrighting our diamond education articles, but instead, using the Creative Commons License, has paid off.
Why? Because it gives us free advertising! This page from Bela Diamonds, designed by SurfPacific, is an exact copy of our diamond glossary. If you scroll down to "J", you will see the our name, along with the blurb: "The Home of Beautiful Diamonds, Serving the World through the Web.".
We don't know yet whether the web designer's intent was to strictly adhere to the Creative Commons License, or it was just a copy and paste job, but we certainly are flattered to have our name promoted on a competitor's website.
Maybe someone should tell Bela Diamonds and SurfPacific? Or maybe not?

Bela Diamonds and Surf Pacific??? hehe
Dont be a bastard if its under CC you have no right to complaint, particularly in the disrespectful "holier than thou" way that you have.
I think it is very funny. I would also be very happy if my competitors were advertising my diamond company too.

mmmm..he's not complaining... he seems to be enjoying..
We're not being disrespectful or adopting a "holier than thou" attitude.
It is clear that SurfPacific has blindly copied the page, which has our name on it. If I was the client (Bela Diamonds) I would be very annoyed.
