John Meadows Program 12 Plagiarized... Puts Jaco De Bruyn On Blast Via Social Media...

It has come to my attention that Jaco De Bruyn WBFF Pro has plagiarized one of my training programs word for word and is selling it on his website.
This has to be the most obvious case of theft of intellectual property I have ever seen, and I am including a screenshot to show you all how blatant this is.
Imagine working extremely hard on something, over the course of years, decades, and having someone steal this from you and sell it on their website.
Jaco, hopefully you are reading this. This is what is happening right now.
1) I have opened a case with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). They are responsible for white collar crime and cyber crime here and work closely with the FBI. You may be in South Africa, but you have sold to US citizens, thus making this a Federal Case.
2) I have notified your Internet service provider, and am in the process of having your site shut down. I just need to fill out a few more forms tonight and fax them over. Don’t believe me, see below..
Upon receipt of notification of a claimed infringement, Just Host will respond expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, regardless of whether the material or activity is ultimately determined to be infringing; if selective action is not possible, Just Host will terminate the alleged infringer's internet access.
Just Host will also take reasonable steps to promptly notify the alleged infringer in writing of the claim against him or her, and that it has removed or disabled access to the material (see Sections 512(c)(1)(C) and (g) of the DMCA).
3) My attorneys are drafting letters to the WBFF, and to you which you shall receive shortly.
4) I am in the process of finding out who you are selling the material through and will also be informing them that you are selling pirated material. It is highly doubtful they will ever do business with you again when they see the evidence my legal team has put together. It is a slam dunk.
It is very sad that someone such as yourself has stooped to such a low level. In my initial background check on you I did uncover some of the seedy activities you are engaged in behind the scenes so I am not shocked.
I would ask that all those in the fitness industry pass this on, as people are working their whole lives to build something, and then getting ripped off. Maybe the steps I have taken will help others fight for their rights.
Also please forward this to ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY you know associated with Jaco as he needs to be exposed for this. Please send to WBFF officials as well. My friends in South Africa - please forward to everyone especially.
Again, if there is any doubt to my claim of theft, simply look at the screenshot I have attached. My words are on right, his are on left and are exactly the same

John meadows doesn't mess around. It's a good thing he's discovered what this guy was doing . Hopefully he looses all his credibility in South Africa and in WBFF

I would like to issue an apology to John Meadows, owner of Mountain Dog Diet. I made an extremely poor decision and put together an e-book using his program. This was a very bad decision and I have asked Mr. Meadows for his forgiveness. I follow him and have used his techniques with much success, and am actually a fan of his. I feel much regret for my decision. I would invite you to visit him at
http://www.mountaindogdiet.com/
There you will find an informative website and a very low cost membership site that is loaded with incredible information.
He also is on Facebook under his name and under Mountain Dog Diet, and under mountaindog1 on Instagram.
The good news is that after an unpleasant conversation, John and I have made this a win win for us, and for you. I have paid John a licensing fee and he has given me permission to sell this program, which I am ok with as it has been one of the absolute best regimens I have ever used.
Thank you John for forgiving me and allowing us to work together on this.Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Join Rx Muscle on Facebook!

Yeah, looks like it turned out as positively as it could given the circumstances.

EDIT - Jaco and I have spoken and he has taken good faith steps to bring this to resolution on many fronts. He is paying a very heavy price and I would ask that you all try and forgive him. I do not like seeing others suffer, but I also WILL NOT let others take from my family. I can guarantee you this was a 1 time mistake he made
Shreenath Ganesh: lol,he copies the entire program and settles it with an apology.
John Meadows: no he is paying licensing fees and has other obligations to fullfill..
Shreenath Ganesh: hope its a big one John Meadows ,sucks seeing shit like this happen
John Meadows: i know..agreed brother

Holy crap, does this guy really need to copy John's programm and sell it? Maybe he has a great body but not the great knowledge John has!
Great move from John, bad move from Jaco. He will lose some big points in the fitness industry and in his credibilityLast edited by Bisler; 12-22-2014 at 11:57 AM.

2 hours ago John stated that it's not over, that things are going to get "much worse for him."
I'm surprised that with the industry being as insular as it is, and with JM being such a well liked and respected guy, that Jaco thought this was a good idea.

EDIT - Jaco and I had spoken and came to agreement, and this morning he backed out on the arrangement. He is now saying that only the first week was a copy. I have to say, Jaco really fooled me into thinking he was sincere with his apologies.
Me: * Wow that is an awesome defense! (not). This guy must be on some other shit. Imagine telling your professor "What do you mean you are failing me?? I only copy and pasted the first page of that article. I mean I gave proper citations for every other page except that one page! Give me a break!" Tough luck kid... not happening. Plagiarism is plagiarism, whether it is a page or 100 pages.
