              These threads will never give you satisfaction.
              50% will say fuck man, that's a rip, and the other 50% will tell you you're wrong.

                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.
                Your post count means nothing.

                        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.

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

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

                                          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.

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

                                                  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.

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.

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.

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

                                                                                            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.
