I'm so flattered...

written by Allan Branch

Once and a while I get an IM or email from someone saying that they found another company copying one of our designs. Normally the similarities are small; this time, however, it's a little different.

My design


Their design


PrayerRequester.com
They even took my html/css!

    Take ‘em to court, Allan. That’s just awful.

    You should start a separate site just for these types of situations… LessOriginality.com?

    Oh the irony that the thievery is for a Christian prayer site. I suppose you could send hate-mail to the author: http://www.operissystems.com/

    Imitation is the best form of flattery! Right?? ;)

  8. I see this all the time. Make friends with a lawyer and send them a S&D. If you need one, I can give you a recommendation.

    Be careful with those C&D, they may put you on the prayer list but not the one you really want on (think locusts and plague). Don’t go messin’ wit Jesus.
