Hey everyone! When you all get a chance, check out this URL: [http://uk.hosting-unlimited.net/html/index.html](http://uk.hosting-unlimited.net/html/index.html) and this one: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/) Is that not the most blatant ripoff of this site’s design? I’ve e-mailed the webmaster about this. He couldn’t even create his own animations 🙂 Cheers! Kirupa :asian: ---

If he doesn’t reply soon, I’m going to send this to [CoolHomePages.com](http://CoolHomePages.com) and have them add him to the plagiarizer list: [http://www.coolhomepages.com/](http://www.coolhomepages.com/) (scroll down toward the bottom) I am actually more amused than upset. Now I know how the people at 2A feel hehe. Cheers! Kirupa :thumb: ---

True, now you have the claim to fame of being ripped off just like 2A. 😏 The most amusing thing is that he obviously thought no one would notice. ---

Kirupa, you could seriously sue him. Or if you don’t want to be mean about it, at least get a lawyer to send him a cease and desist letter. I’ve been studying up on copyright law for the last week or so… hehe. ---

All designs/content on the internet, regardless of whether a copyright notice is displayed or not, is copyrighted by the creator of the material. Of course, this site does mention Copyright 2003, etc, etc. 🙂 Lava, no I’m not going to sue him or send a letter from a lawyer - this is no real biggie; just a minor annoyance. The design, even after the ripoff, doesn’t really look all that good anyway =) Cheers! Kirupa :ub: ---

thats terrible! How did you find the site anyway? Bollox to whether or not he’s smallfry, you should hit him with everything you’ve got. Ones creative talent and skills should never be so blatently copied. This site is awesome, no one should take any part of it away from you Kirupa, esp. the design. You really should take some action against this loser. (this sort of thing really upsets me BTW.) 😠 [COLOR=orange]the[/color] [color=red] angry [/color] [COLOR=orange]orange one[/COLOR] ---
