If you missed our site being a victim of plaigirism check out THIS post out before reading this update :)
The Robsessed-DVD website has now taken down our content and went back to their original of promoting their crappy DVD. We never heard back from Revolver Entertainment but we assume they got our cease and desist.
We'd like to thank all our readers, our fellow bloggers, website owners (some of which aren't even Robert Pattinson/Twilight sites), our friends for their support. Plagiarism is an awful crime and we should always stick together to fight it.
Our stand on the DVD is still the same. It's unauthorized, Robert Pattinson is not getting a dime from it and they managed to anger us, the fan base by stealing. They claim it's an "all-access DVD" I wonder who/what else they "accessed" without permission.
It was unnecessary and a very bad marketing move. So:
We would also like to thank Gossip Cop for being objective and always debunking rumors, wrong gossip. You can read what they wrote HERE but this part is extremely important:
We find the unauthorized and often invasive exploitation of stars for profit to be heinous, especially when, as in this case, those stars have been particularly scarred by interactions with the media.
We’re very encouraged to see fans stand up to shameless profiteering, especially when the offending party has wronged not only the celebrity, but also the fans who put time and effort into content without intending to make a dollar from it.
Kudos Gossip Cop!
Now let's go back to our Robert Pattinson coverage :) Have you seen the new Mexico pictures? Scroll down :))

I {heart} you Goz you are what a trye fan is all about!
Thanks again to everyone for all the support xx
True I meant true (obviously) Bloody typos!! LOL
Im so proud of the community of Rob lovers!! As Gossip Cop said, its great to see everyone standing up against shit like this.
Goz, words are not enough.
Love you! xx
Can't Rob's mgmt do something about him being ripped off? I don't think they do enough to protect his image, because everyone is ripping him off!
woo hoo victory dance!
We are behind you Goz, Dani and Kate!
Blogged about it! Done!

Well done!!! I'm breathing a sigh of relief for everyone here at ROBsessed.
I'm so proud of what can be accomplished when we all band together... now let's just hope this silly unauthorized and heinous (because it's obvious it is based on their marketing attempts) DVD just disappears.
Love you guys... Tess
Good for you for playing hard ball, Goz! We love you, and you keep, Dani & Kate keep us up to date on all things Rob. That DVD campaign is a joke. They have footage of things we can get free on you tube and random British people talking about Rob and his fame? Not must-see AT ALL! You are the only Robsessed!
Power of the people is pretty strong and it's awesome that gossip cop got on board as well.
We have no control at some of the things that done to Rob or said about Rob-but you can't ignore the fan base.
We Are Strong, We are invinceable. We Are Woman.
Love ROBsessed!
You are so right RHonda it seem to be just footage of random people and they even have people reading out quotes that Rob has said! Anyone that buy it is gonna be seriously disappointed!
Hannah only seeing you're comment on the earlier thread.No I'm not going to Dublin.
Off to bed night ladies.xx
woo frickin' hoo! way to go, ladies, I feel like we all got a total win today-listen up, theives...don't fuck with the true ROBsessers!! :))
major thanks to Goz, Kate and Dani for all you do!
My mother always told me that bullies back down. :)
there is website sonfamosos.com from spain and they are promoting the DVD... I left a comment telling them not to buy this, the of course remove my comment more then 5 times.
sorry my english is not good :)
http://www.objetivofamosos.com/
and this is the website
Yay.
GROUP HUG!
ROBSESSORS ROCK!
We might disagree about stupid things.. but
WHEN IT COUNTS...
We are a force to be reckoned with!
WELL DONE!
Everyone remember, though. We should STILL be negatively rating their product on Amazon.com. Rob isn't making a dime from this, for one thing. They're adding to the creepiness of those fans who want to know everything about his PRIVATE life, for another. And third, they still had the BALLS to put that content on their website in the first place, which shouldn't have been done!
Good people win!
WOW! Kudos to all of you...
Woo hoo!
WOOOT!!!! Go Robsessors!!!! We ROCK!!! Goz and Dani and Kate, sooooo happy for you. Those skanks backed down!!
*HUGE HUGS* to you Gozde, you are the best.
I left a message on the Amazon website, a bit late, as I had to wait for lunch time at work :).
It seems this is the week of justice restored (in Italy, too!) :D...
For a job well done ladies!! (standing, cheering, and clapping.)
Already commented, need to show off my new avi
@ rpattzgirl ~
You are really fast! Luv your new avi...
A man wearing a tie is a must...
ROB WEARING A TIE is a shot...
Oh Rob... :)))
RPATTZGIRL LOVE YOUR AVI!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Teri ~
Yours is not bad either... not at all!
Afterall, it is Rob!
Delicious man...
lol CRAZY VAMP I imagine that's him waiting for me...
Now this is what I call a true Fandamily! Awesome news Goz!
excellent news!! I'm VERY glad you all got it taken down!!! still can't believe the nerve of those f*ckers!
Hello ladies
I am happy they didn't gain money after all .
Gozde you are the one who should be thankful for everything you do also Kate and Dani I love you all and love this site and all the Robsessors.
Real Fans Rock!
Teri & crazyvamp
All Rob avi's are hot!
rpattzgirl,
SO TRUE. I think I purred when the mexico pictures came up today.
Not this again!!! Someone else trying to steal Goz and our content. Goz had to deal with this crazy lady before stealing our stuff 3 or 4 times. It's just ridiculous. But congrats Goz for getting on their asses real quick and shutting down that shit. You work too hard and we take out time in our day to comment...sometimes looking up info and sharing it. We are like family where we will joke around,fight, and in the end still love one another. Together we stand as one. Love you bitches!!!
Congrats! It's amazing what can happen when people that believe in the same thing come together!! ROBLOVERS UNITE!! ;)
Do not mess with ROB's fans or ROBsessed fans is all I am sayin'. Way to go to get this crappy site down and well here's hoping that this ridiculous DVD will flop BIG time...
Very happy for Gozde, Dani and Kate that this hopefully is over for good and that this will NOT happen again!
As for Gossip Cop I am SO happy there are ppl like that who are willing to seperate the truth from the dirt in showbiz!
Thank you guys :)) And YES! Rob fans are a force to reckon with! :))
Thank you Goz and co for ROBsessed! My heart goes out to you and the community of ROBsessed for your dedication.
These people representing the rubbish DVD have probably learned a few things over the last few days, one can hope. Perhaps that creativity and originality is something one has to work for.
Even the cover of their DVD is a total rip-off of the excellent movie Trainspotting.
Wow...I saw this late last night and realized I missed what had been going on...I can't believe they had the gall to lift your posts right off of the blog, Goz! Stealing the name was bad enough. I figure I can still leave a comment on their Amazon page to warn people not to buy this crap, though. I don't know why people think they can do this stuff without fear of repercussion. Anything to make a buck, off of Rob and other people's creativity as well. Disgusting. Glad you at least had this small victory, Goz...now if we could get them to quit using the name, that'd be even better.
Wow! I'm gone for a little while and fit hits the shan!
I can't imagine how angry I would feel if someone ripped off my content so my heart goes out to you.
But kudos to you for standing up and making them back down! That's just plain effing awesome!
