WALL OF SHAME

Last updated: 02.22.08

Welcome to Passionate-Eye.Org's Wall of Shame. This is where you will find a small list of people that have thought it would be neat to copy things from my site. You will see screenshots of the evidence and an explanation of the situation. I'm not going to encourage the flaming of these people because they're hurting themselves more by doing this type of thing, than me.. I pity them more than anything. It's just a shame that they don't feel confident enough to step out on their own and come up with something original. And well, the more people that do this, the more I get to add to my content. /shrug.

OFFENDER: Rick from Rikkuson's Domain EVIDENCE: I would suggest clicking each screenshot to view the enlarged versions if you wish to see more detail while comparing the two. My Site His site ADMISSION: He made many admissions of his guilt, though this is the only one I captured with a screenshot. Please click to enlarge if you'd like to read the text. SUMMARY: My layout, Version 12: Relentless Freedom was posted on February 11th. His new layout was posted on February 15th. He certainly was quick to copy eh? *lol* Anyway, it's quite obvious, by looking at the evidence, what has happened here. I suppose Rick liked my layout.. (under statement) So he thought he'd steal it, change the graphic and adjust the colors just a bit and voila! New layout! But not only that, he has copied much of my coding, including my calendar. He even made sure to use the exact same font for his links and to create his own sidebar title graphics the exact way I did. Also, nice copyright at the bottom of the layout Rick, .. though next time I would suggest duplicating the text layer to make sure you get the bolded effect exactly the way I have it.. It looks best that way. OUTCOME: Myself and many of my loyal supporters sent in complaints and his site was terminated without warning. Bottom line people: Stealing is wrong. If you steal my stuff, it'll bite you in the ass in the end.
