Mirror any website you want and edit it?

Kairos Vardoger · Jun 5, 2020

I'm quite curious if somebody is using this method in real life:
Quickly edit and rebuilt a website, by downloading a program that can mirror any website!

I am a complete noob when it comes to HTML and editing code...
But YouTube showed me something so easy I just had to try it!

There is a program that let's you download (almost) any website to your computer, and you can edit the code very easily by searching the file names (Text, images, videos, reflinks) with CTRL+F in the code.

Could it be this easy to re-make any website that you like and make it your own withing hours?
I've downloaded a website that I liked for educational purposes, I can edit the code if I want to...

Is there anyone that is using this strategy already and what is your experience?
Or is there something fishy about this that I just can't seem to smell just yet?!

Let me know in the comments, and if you want to know what I'm using just ask!

Peace!

illegal only if you publish or use what downloaded .

now if you alter it , that classed as new and not illegal.

That's the one!

Amazing program and you can learn a lot about the structure of the page and how it's set-up.
You can also download a website with a lot of information on it, so you can read it even without an internet connection.
Still would like to hear someones story on working with this!

This is legal and no dcma issues occur?

And you can even transform XXX theme ---> wordpress theme, there are many online services can do that, and with the Httrack help, boom.

John4life2017 · Jun 5, 2020

Httrack is the thing to use.

We did change all the site names and logos from the copied sites
we didn't get any DMCA issues

FDDOWLING · Jun 11, 2020

Iv never used it but I???m curious to learn more about it!

bumblehornet · Jun 20, 2020

What if copied website has good blog articles.

Can also use word spinner to make it look as new original article on your blog?

shaymiller · Jul 12, 2020

I also thought about doing this. Not by httrack but php scraping.

I learned scraping & it???s amazing. I can clone any website. Good thing is that I don???t clone, I just pick what I want from the site ( eg links, or posts) and display on website

I use ip rotator, so I don???t get ban from that website

I wonder if anyone used this method to make $
