What's preventing people from stealing this site's numbers?

Because this site did it first.

Why go that copycat site when you can go to the original and superior site? You also have to consider that this site is still not popular enough to get copycats. It's quite popular, but not as popular as sites like Youtube, Google, or Facebook (these sites having lots of copycats).

well.. what if IGN or Gamespot suddenly decide to make a sales branch off of their site. And the numbskull they choose for a lead sales gatherer decides to just copy all the data here and change em a little bit.. I mean, then in that case, IGN or Gamespot sales site would get far more hits than VGChartz.

how would ioi prevent that from happening?

Because Mr. Walton/ioi could easily expose these sites and largely damage their reputations, losing them way more hits than they would have gotten from their sales sections. This site is also professional, so I could see a lawsuit happening.

I guess ioi will have to answer this.
