ouch matt. that sucks. they didnt even redo the buttons.
thats why i like using flash. website newbies have a harder time copying it. that used to happen to me a lot a couple years ago when i had a cute blog site. always other weak broads were stealing my headers and stuff.
shame shame shame onthem. they dont care tho.. i guarentee you that.

Good reason to update. You need it anyway. I remember seeing your site a long time ago. (i need to update too.)

It is an obvious imitation, but come on... Shut them down?
Did you take a minute to see what this company does?
They teach little kids to dance. Is that seriously any type of industry competition you have to worry about?
It seems obvious that they hired someone with less than intact scruples. It is hardly the fault of a bunch of goofy dance instructors.I would approach them on a far more diplomatic level, explain to them that it has been brought to your attention that whoever they have had design their site has given then a plagerized product. Explain that you would rather not have to pursue a law suit, or any other form of legal injunction. And offer them a solution.
Here is one: "listen guys take down the site which is an obvious rip of mine, fire your designer, and let me design you a site that is original."
They obviously approve of your design sensibilities. This could be a win win situation. The designer that ripped you gets canned, and you make a friend, and get to design a site for a good cause.

great insight.

that guy ripped off my name.
shaunti, what a hack.
- brundlefly0
yeah the bulletin board comments posted about the rip with all the profanity, might obliterate any chance of peaceful resolution on this rip.
forward th"u"nking

i wish people would resolve these things themselve before coming here looking for people to help them humiliate the offendee. Jesus guys, grow up. and whoever is posting that racist shit on the message board is worse scum than any ripper.
- brundlefly0
ditto.
lets give designers a good name, for once, please.

the original doesn't look very original either. they both look like the old old pixelsurgeon site.
- Milan0
Omfg, the guy totally ripped the site and probably got paid for it! That shit should be taken down. The fucker should have some fucking originality and respect.

you can't welcome to the club yo
- blackspade0
you totally have the right to be pissed bout that bro
- ********0
just laugh it off or if you want to try and get a bigger laugh send the info to http://www.pirated-sites.com
- tripleflux0
stewart, if you really want to fuck www.shauntai.com/ over...send a link to Halle Berry's managment company...as they have pics of her on their front page. They send them some legal shit and make thew sweat. You could always send a notice of copyright infrigement to the host of the site that ripped you. Better yet-hack them.

call
gggggg-unit
and everything will be sorted out

their homies will be tipping 40s to their memories by mid morning
