This industry pretty much has 3 types of people working in it.
Innovators - come up with an idea, build it, promote it and set a new industry standard. Innovators understand that if they are going to lead an industry - there will be followers (and generally welcome them).
Copycats - can't come up with an original idea on their own but recognize the potential of somone else's work. Takes the original idea and uses it as a model to build their own version of the original. They only use the concept.
Plagiarist - cant come up with an original idea on their own and don't have the capacity or moral fortitude to build any uniqueness into a site. They not only steal your idea - they steal the substance and try to call it their own.
It's not hard to see where Rick falls into these 3 catagories - that only leaves the question as to what category the other guy should be placed and if he's using Rick's reviews to populate his database - I wouldn't lean toward category 2.
