Design is very easy to rip-off, once it's out there, it's basically available for the hacks pillage. This is especially true with any sort of graphic design, and the more popular a designer, the more widespread his/her style will be reproduced.
It's a shite state of affairs, but there's nothing anybody can do about it and it's only accelerating. Thoughts?

i'm in the yes camp. pretty discouraging really. its always been an issue for illustrators, but used to be frowned on... now people seem to applaud it.

I am going to make a website called outed. Its main purpose is going to be for anyone who feels like they have been ripped off to post it for all the world to see. It will sum things up every month with the blacklist of people who have been outed.
being inspired by someone is one thing, but to copy should be as kosher as ham crotch.

at least 95% of the work that 95% of the people on this website praise employs trendmemes of varying degrees of subtlety that originated somewhere (who the fuck knows where) and have become so ubiquitous that work can't even be recognized as good unless it employs them

The key is to rip in small portions. Rip too much and you end up on http://youthoughtwewouldntnotice… Rip too little and no one knows what the hell you are doing.
