RE: [WSG] SimpleBits ripped - is this for real?

Howdy Group,

'Tis a shame indeed. I have just about notified Dan and passed him the URL
as well. 
There was a similar site(like Simplebits) from a guy in the US called Joey a
few days back! Dan didn't take it up with him ... So I guess its his call at
the end of the day.

Regards,

yeah that is just ridiculously blatant and so comical with his copyright
notices at the bottom!  No 'permission given' information anywhere, be it
the About page or at least some commenting in the HTML or CSS!

I can accept that sometimes designers see a CSS layout that they want to
base their site on, probably because I personally borrowed heavily from
someones zengarden entry that I really really liked the look of, but I asked
permission before I even started on it and even then you'd barely recognise
it from the original.  I just wanted to use it as a good starting point to
work from and it taught me a lot of little tricks that I had no idea about!

But ranada.com is just a blatant attempt at making him/her self look like
some kind of uber-css wizard by completely copying someone elses design!
Times like these I think a site hacking is an acceptable option...

I cannot not believe this.. How can someone be so dumb and lazy to do such a
blatant rip off. Is this for real?

I just had to post this, it boils my blood to see this sort of thing!
