So i just got an email back from the guy who designed the Crashshop RIP http://www.foolsgoldteeth.com
and this is what he had to say....
> Hi Eddy,
>
> I did not RIP off the site you are referring to, I had not even seen it
> before now. They are quite similar though. I was simply building a site to
> mimic an operating system, which is what it looks like they are doing as
> well. Anyway, if the similarities are that offense to you I will construct a
> new site. I will leave you with a quote by an artist named Robert Irwin
> which sums up what you will most likely find again in your life; take it for
> what it's worth:
>
> ...no one is ever really ahead of their time. If I can think something, it
> is because it has become ripe for thinking, and it is only reasonable to
> suppose that someone else is sharing my thoughts...
>
> ...anyone actively seeking out the potential of their moment is having a
> dialogue of colleagueship, and it is in this way that we collectively begin
> to define the art of our own time.

> - Robert IrwinPlease take time and email him and tear him a new hole.

I suppose it's possible but they just seem to similar.

not possible... mainly because of the menu placement... and the random background pics.. the transparent edge of boxes.. and placement of the boxes at the start

ya i emailed him
i pretty much said its not cool ripping off peoples sites to a T...
It is disrepecting the artist.. even though it is flattering...I would say... it was flattering at first.. BUT the fact that he denide it is why i have a problem..
copying and admiting is one thing .... dening it is another.

he wrote back
"I'm really sorry you're so offended, but I didn't rip anything. I've had
this site up for months and this is the first I've heard of this. If having
a drop down menu and random images is a copyright infringement then I guess
I'll take down the site. Thanks for alerting the authorities. I'll let you
know when the new site is up and you can let me know if I'm "ripping" anyone
else."
