Heavily Inspired

Seems like one blogger at Sun got a bit too inspired by Joyent’s website. The Joyent folks appear to be neither flattered nor overjoyed.

At least he managed to remove the logo and change the banner!

    There’s heavily inspired, then there’s ripped/stolen. That looks stolen to me, did anyone compare them in Photoshop?

    You should start a site really.

    Where people vote it off. :P

    But yeah, ripped off. How sad.

    Another sad story… :(

    Honestly, what can you do? We can choose to spend our energy chasing people around with C&D’s or we can simply laugh it off and just ask Sun to give us a few 100 new Thumpers to compensate us. :()

    Seriously, we found more humor in it than not and as long as it is his personal blog, not a commercial venture - we find it rather a sweet form of flattery.

    Deffo a copy……. I have just written a small article for our clients about not ripping websites and falling in to the trap. Use ideas and inspiration but don’t steal the websites.

    А в чем смысл добавлять свой блог на ФидБёрнер? Траф это увеличит или еще что? (сорри за оффтоп) :)
