dwayne youre an idiot if you think anyone would get sued over that site. it would never stand up in court so thats why nobody's sueing.
the best that can be done is to have the person who designed that embarrassed and ruined because they didnt follow the *designer code*
there is no glory in being heavily influenced by another site.. but any judge will say they made enough changes to make it theirs. if you could print those sites out on transparencies and put one over the other and held it to the light and they were identical.. there would be a case.
im sure the dood who wrote the code for the microbians site didnt get a patent for that particular navigation.. and if he did someone could recreate it using different means.
copyright means you own the right.. to the COPY (as in words) on the site.. anything else you'll have to get a design patent for buddy.
it sucks.. but we are very unproected.. we're all working off an invisble rule book. sad but true. i personally wish there were more regulations on digital design.
