erm... one's good, the other one's shit. so the copying issue's irrelevant really.

Just a wild guess but I'd say Josh posted that for a laugh just to see how much people would stress over it.
It's not a rip, not even close to one. Similarities: Layout... Nav / Sub-nav / Content, and it was built in Flash.
I claim my free lolly.

I'm with smith on this one - I think sir davis was 'taking the piss' and you all fell for it like the suckers you are.
RIP! RIP!
Get over it. Go design something cool.

Thats not a rip. My roommate had his whole site stolen, no joke the guy was even using his resume...he cut out the ph. number and put in a new one..and the fonts were horribly different.
All I see that's the same is the Nav. The 123 BS is the same but seriously. Face it, if we had to reinvent the wheel everytime we designed a website most of us would be in different careers by now.

it's the Joshua Davis double rip off.
1. You buy his book
2. You learn the tricks
3. You use them
4. He sues you
only kidding folks
I am sorry... but this is hardly a rip. Who invented the 3 column design ? .......

ah okay... I have to admit that the launch website and page 1, 2,3 stuff looks too familiar.

stop with the useless rip threads...bloody mate, 'there are only 12 internet sites on the web..yeah..yeahh....'
wake up

Peace

who cares
- kerus0
if it was a nobody like me who's site was "maybe ripped" you would all be telling me im on crack.
are they similar? yeah.
are the pixel dimensions identical, i dont know or carerip? i dont think so.
inspired by? possibly
such a simple and straightforward and clean design that it could just be coincidence? COULD BE!

This is officially the biggest dick riding thread on NT
Josh wins

This is like saying any site with tabs ripped ___INSERT PREFERRED TAB SITE HERE___ off.
Since when does anyone have a patent on a 3 column design?
And if we are talking about subnav next to the nav I did that quite a few times in the past!
Not a rip. But an amusing thread!
- PrayStation0
yikes.
I guess sarcasm doesn't translate well on message boards.
I hope no one mailed these people - I certainly don't want anyone mail bombed.
nor do I have anything patented - or plans to sue anyone.
and don't believe for a fucking second that I post shit to create controversy - or as someone suggested that I actually build and hosted this site in New Jersey. you people are way to insane.
and I'm not that clever - nor care.
I guess what upsets me - if this discussion wasn't about me I'd be interested to see what type of dialog happens - we are used to RIPS being blatant copies of graphics, but now we are starting to see rips of layout and interaction and how does that not fall under the same format.
creating the layout, the flow of information, and interaction of that information, to me, is way more important than the pixels that dress up that layout.
do I care about these people ? no
do I care about the haters on newstoday ? nope
do I care about the people support me ? of course, good attitudes and jamming together only makes us better designers and people.
do I LOVE my face photoshopped on the squirrel with big NUTS ? you betcha, saved it to my desktop.
and the only reason I posted this information was because john ryan over at uncommonthinking.com had e-mailed me about these people - and had actually lost the vera wang site to them. So yeah I do have a problem when someone in our community who is trying to do something unique and original loses a job to a company who steals ideas from others. Even if those ideas are layout and interaction.
if this was a student site or a personal site - would I care - no - but when it's a studio - positioning themselves as a business - a business built on using others ideas. it's pretty shitty.
and if it was you instead of me - you'd think it was whack to.

(nov 17 03)the irony is this:
Josh Davis is a talented and innovative creator. Weather you like him or not, this is a fact that can be easily proved. He knows this, and he assumes you know this. To think he would lower himself to the levels of those who shout "rip" at a moments notice, is an attempt to make the people calling these "rips" to check themselves.
to me it says " remember, it's all about the content and intention, not the general design superficialities"
