50% will say fuck man, that's a rip, and the other 50% will tell you you're wrong.

psili · 09-26-2006, 07:55 AM

That's sad, but not surprising.

There's maybe three people in the entire online adult industry who innovate. The rest just copy. What's even worse is how much mediocrity and blatant rip-offs are praised by the sheep.

Client: I want a design JUST like xxxxxxxxxx.com
Designer: Just like it?!?
Client: Yep, as close as possible without looking like blatant theft.

A week later the designer shows the client the finished work.
Designer: Like this?
Client: Yep, I love it!

Client goes posting on GFY praising designer. Happy ending.

cyberstar · 09-26-2006, 09:13 AM

Roald · 09-26-2006, 09:14 AM

Thats just a rip off indeed, those headers are almost 100% Identical. Anybody not seeing this must have his eyes checked.

They don't look alike. Blame yourself for being fucking paranoid.

Just because it has a white background, doesn't mean they copied you.

gooddomains · 09-26-2006, 09:49 AM

that's pretty normal I would say

Basic_man · 09-26-2006, 09:52 AM

What a rip-off! It looks wayyyyyyy too much like the original

HomeFry · 09-26-2006, 09:52 AM

They may have had influence from yours, like the row of poon and they used the color pink. But aside from that, it's completely different.

Verbal · 09-26-2006, 10:01 AM

blatant knock-off

pornpf69 · 09-26-2006, 10:05 AM

I think that the PG is only complaining because the sites are now on the same niche.....

NoWhErE · 09-26-2006, 10:18 AM

lol no that is a blatant rip-off... all he did was add a few lines here and there and thats it.

Anybody who has worked in design or as a freelancer of some sort knows what happened here.

thanks for that. I think that is someone blatantly ripped off another site, detail by detail, wouldn't that undermin the webmasters?

Would that just shout 'Webmasters are dumb and won't notice?'

I think some companies, like Slickcash are a little smarter than that and are a bit more understanding how important webmasters are.

It's a blatant knock-off. The concept is almost exactly the same, the color and even the font is nearly identical. You can blindly say that they are 'smarter than that', but IMHO they should fire their designer and design a new site as an act of good faith.

all of their sites/designs are an imitation of PG sites

C-Bass · 09-26-2006, 02:12 PM

PG has always been in the avantguard of site design and content quality......GMP has been out since '04. Why would you want to copy a design that has been floating arround for over 2 yeras in an industry where 1 month = almost a life time?

Front end design is really not a science. Good quality pictures + Hot Girls + Easy to follow flow + Simple Text = 1 good Design. Really there's no need to ripp someone off.

....just ma 2 cents.

If it were the same designer, as a client I would be screaming conflict of interest.

If it's just another pussy site selling pussy the pussies are sold these days, I think if anyone owned the patent to pink, it would be Hustler.

rhizome · 09-26-2006, 02:56 PM

If you look at the member's areas of both sites Slickcash is obviously copying PG and then just changing a few things. For example on the gallery pages they are both using a header image of 299 X 190. I seriously doubt both came up with those unusual dimensions separately. Also the entire layout of the member's areas is almost identical. Same size thumbs, placement of links, similar bordered tables used, etc. Even the use of the header frame is virtually identical.

The wording and link placement of the 2257 is an exact copy. They even copied word for word the PG's copyright notice chaning only the contact e-mail address.

wdforty · 09-26-2006, 03:01 PM

The old snatches.com design was a blatant copy of GiveMePink too, noone seemed to care then, why would they care now

Bossman · 09-26-2006, 03:14 PM

One of our main sites have been copied atleast 4-5 times with both name, concept/content, color, and style... been a problem with PPC in SE, since the surfer can get confused which one is the original one, if one of the clones is bidding on the same keywords

But I guess that is part of the business - just always have to be one step ahead, and make the others play catch up

rhizome · 09-26-2006, 03:17 PM

aico · 09-26-2006, 03:22 PM

Honestly, design really doesn't matter that much. When they start stealing your traffic, then it's time to get concerned.

It's a sad reality of this biz - My brand names get scraped and SEO'd by thieving fuckers on a regular basis.

But what do you do, when even a search on an SE starts with your query and links it to the SE's crony club.

Look and feel complaints like this one, do have merit, but they are hard to dispute. It's not a copyright violation if the images are licensed by each party.

I'd love to be in the courtroom as lawyers split shaved hairs over '5 horizontal vaginas with two brunette and three blonde...'

The best defense is be the best. Secure your brands if they do apply and enforce them, but be the best.
