Comments on: Site Rips?

To be honest, I check sites source code, whole idea is learning something from it..I am sucker for a good code of CSS elements - how they do, what code they use...I don't see anything wrong with that. However, it is quite wrong that if someone complete rips your site and tell the entire word "I did it"...so wrong... Holly Cow!, I was about to rip your site L :-) wink..wink..

Although you may take some ideas here and there, it the collaboration of all these works that makes it unique. So when someone uses a design element from my site, I do feel flattered because they are basically learning from your design.

It disgusts me. She actually thinks it's all right to directly take someone else's design, delete their copyright information, and replace it with their name. She honestly sees no harm in it, and does not realize how wrong it is to plagiarize someone else. Our class was taught how wrong that was, she just never learned. Unfortunately, these people are all too common. As a person who has worked incredibly hard to try and become a better developer and designer and pushed every day to learn, these kinds of people who don't realize the meaning of work are scum on earth. I wish there were a way to stop people like this from ever doing web design again. A stamp on their forehead or a bracelet that electrocutes them when they come within 5 clicks of web development would do nicely. Hope this works out and doesn't cost you, she needs to be stopped. This is where places like iKarma come in very handy. I personally have a former classmate in my web development class who site rips (and who has yet to cease to do it despite being caught).

I checked out that site for myself and it looks like yours! You know I am not into the technology of the work aspect of web design, but I do know that it is a difficult and time consuming work. I noticed that she has on the bottom of her page, Copywrite 2004!!! As if she wrote it herself. What bothers me as a person not familiar with web design, is how many others are advertising web design, us (clients) pay a lot of money for a specific designers work, and then come to find out it isn't an original. She copied from you and she advertises innovative and fresh web design for a pitch. Yet, she stole it from you. How ironic is that??? I am truly sorry! Beth. Lori,
