Just curious how can you tell which site is the original and which is the rip off, I mean say your site is being ripped off and you complain to the owner whats to stop them making out your the one ripping off them and making a complaint about you?

problem with people is that they see a site and they say to designer: make me a site that looks like this. and if designer has no work ethics, and just works for money, he’ll do it, and that’s the end of the story. it’s really a shame what some people are willing to do just to prosper. in case of BigFile box is obvious that same .psd file was used fro BookIT. And if this is not a theme, and design is reported as rip off, then clearly designer works just 4 money, and work ethics is history for him. other cases are just variations on theme, but when it comes to neftysworld – stealing design from designers itself is the lowest form of theft there is on web. (Bartelme had problems with this as well, as more other famous designers whose sites stand out from the crowd). I’ll just comment Fiouret as a rip off of clear left, and I’ll say that person who did that is not designer at all, because in order to be designer it takes at least “know how” to make some changes. Saving one page from web, and editing it’s text in dreamweaver or some other editor requires really no knowledge at all. Every idiot could do that. Painfull and tragic is when idiot gets money
for doing something like that, and I really don’t believe someone paid for that. It was “homemade”.

We’ve had a similar rip, but whats annoying is that this is a decent sized agency, who have not only ripped of our main site for themselves, but also have another site in their portfolio thats also a rip of one of ours!

Our site:
http://www.engageinteractive.co.uk

Their rip:
http://www.renksiz.net

Our site:
http://www.arcinspirations.com/kobe

Their rip:
http://www.cagritanitim.com

Its almost amusing that a creative agency cant even create their own site and resort to stealing
