    I've been ripped. And not even well.

    http://www.oioj.net/blog/user1/1243/index.shtml - the scumbag.
    http://www.36-degrees.co.uk - the original.

    me = not happy.

    Oh god, and a terrible rip to boot. That sucks, stuart. it really does. I like it when people like the design, and do their own variation on it, but damn, this is a straight up rip-off and that's sad. I've noticed this has been happening a lot more over the past year, kids will never learn...

    What can we do to prevent ripping?

    Public shaming is one route to go down, if you speak the same language it helps. Faiing that, contact the host of the culprit explaining the situation and they should take it down.

    I assume you have already contacted them? Can I send them and email also? I love thier responses when they get found out. Much fun.

    As lech said: That sucks. I hope you get it sorted out soon.

    He has posted about the design on a BBS, would you believe, citing me as a sub-copyright holder, before offering the design for download as a blog template!

    I'm in no way advocating mis-use or unauthorized use of intellectual property. But imagine if programmers were as uptight about their work as designers... There wouldn't be any open source applications. There wouldn't be any free support. And there would only be a couple of forums and blogs out there. To date, I haven't seen a single website/designer providing free quality and complex templates (a quality and a complex that matche those of the open source codes out there).
    And again, I do think what this other dude did is wrong. And Stuart, you should definitely contact his hosting company.

    the higher-profile the site. the more it will be ripped off. in some way you could try to consider it a compliment, i guess. imitation, flattery, blah blah etc.

    i know the dude who started cssbeauty and he gets ripped like every week or two.

    i kinda like his better.

    ;)

    i was ripped one time as well a few years ago. i had a stats tracker code on there and the dude stole that, and found his site looking through the stats. i looked at it and shit myself. i was flattered for 3 seconds, then I got pissed.

    i emailed him and he pulled it.. saying he was just learning from my site.

    definitely post it on Pirated Sites..

    it looks different now - a blue blocky affair.

    Yeh it looks like the page was changed. Public shaming does that to people.

    Anyway.. If someone is going to base a variation off of an original design, they should say so in the source code. Somewhere near the top. Imitation is a low level of flattery right?

    First, regarding this immoral matter I feels the unusual regret, in has not been under the permission under the situation, I absurdly from plagiarized your design, and put it on the Internet provides downloads, this was extremely not right! Expresses 12 minute apologies in this me, and already provided the data which downloaded deletes from the network, for created to you inconveniences and loses me once more expresses the apology, I guaranteed the later such matter will not be able again to occur. Moreover, I very appreciate your design. 此致 salutes, the SNAKE 2005.08.10 mornings

    I wonder which translating service he used. It's so professional I'd like to use it myself to communicate with my clients overseas.

    i feel for you stuart. not every design is a tempate to take.
    there is a degree of flattery and ease, but stealing design and/or content is unacceptable. my designs tend to suck, but my words one time were taken by someone who felt they needed my credit. argh.
    teaches me to even put things on the net. hahah

    Hey, it does not matter anymore. Well not really.

    I just found this link. http://www.unmatchedstyle.com/gallery/36-degrees-design.php

    I ASSUME Stuart already knows about this, but, he deserves some contratualtions.

    *hip hip*

    haha, it's somewhat ironic that in my non-designer eyes the US page looks a *little* like 36degrees in itself.

    well i did say a *little*. if you look at it in 1280x1024 so it puts the bars down the sides too it helps.
