Our site was copied?
 

Our Site:

www.publicnudityexposed.com

The site I just found when a design company sent me a link looking to fill a business need we have for some new sites:

http://www.webinc.com/portfolio/websites/momsaslut/

Oddly similar. Opinions anyone?

Not really. Colors the same but the template layout is different.

Uhm. Am I missing something here, because those two sites look nothing alike to me?

They both look like the generic adult tours that are a dime a dozen these days?

Kind of has the same feel though huh?

Doesn't look copied to me. There might have been some "inspiration" there though.

Similar colors, and somewhat similar header. I wouldn't say that was rip off or a copy though. JMHO

perhaps your site was the muse for this one.
somewhat similar, same colors, but the images are definitely different.

That is a good way of putting it "inspiration". I like that. :)

nope. it's the web, get over it.

I came accross it so randomly, it just caught me personally off guard, most likely, because I have seen our site so many times.

Wasn't really bitching or calling our attorney in the first place, just seeing what others think.

As does just about every other site using crap cookie cutter style tours. If you looked hard enough you could make the same claim of a few dozen sites. It comes when you have a total lack of unoriginality on your site design which 95%+ of the industry are currently guilty of.

Wow, we have been called a lot of things, unoriginal has never been one of them.

So they copied your choice of color selections?

Step away from the Crackpipe.

thats our site..
webinc designed it for us..
the only instructions i gave them when they made it was "use a green color scheme please"

Doesnt look like a copy to me. Logo is in same place though.

not even close

How old is your site...that has been in the Webinc portfolio for QUITE SOME TIME...as that page hasn't been updated in at least 8 months.

Maybe your designer was the one who was "inspired".

Maybe copy was the wrong word. Posted already above...."Inspiration" is better.

Embrace it. I'm as unoriginal as it gets.

No,
alot of the reality sites look like that,
same colors though.

I can definally say the webinc designer saw your site first. If you can call copy as inspiration then fine. Kinda sucks this come from webinc though... I had big respect for them but when you create so many designs, its hard to come up with new stuff.

I'd say there is a higher correllation than normal. PublicNudityExposed was most likely used as inspiration for that webinc site.

I don't think it's a reflection on the company, but perhaps the laziness of a designer who admired the work that you did.

I think it's different enough that the designer could say that he used creative license to modify his inspiration.

Like I mentioned before...the Webinc design is more than 8 months old.

Still wondering how old the J&A site is. Wasn't AMP with Adult.com still last year?

TeaDrinker beat me to my point.

a copy?????? this has got to be a joke.

not the same!

Looks like a plagiate, but at least their site don't hijack the browser....

Ours is older. Amp was with us.

I would be willing to say they go their "inspiration" from your site, but it's not a blatent rip-off. I am a stickler for copyrights, and I personally wouldn't care much about this one. :2 cents:

Ibanker,

Come on mano - you know webinc.com doesn't copy from anyone, anytime...

I sent this thread to our project manager Peter and will let you know his response. As you know we do hundreds and hundreds of paysite designs all the time. I am sure it happens that colors can be used over and over.

Thanks

Todd

same colors thats about it

That answers my question. :thumbsup

I don't really care that much at all either. Just seeing what others reactions would be is all.

You can def. say? How is that Teadrinker? We come up with new designs all the time.

Yeh I know we haven't updated our portfolio in quite a few months - we have been so damm busy over here.

Next time please show or use facts when making blanket statements.

Thanks

Todd

Hey no worries. I wasn't attacking you. Just looking to see what everyone thinks. Glad to see you didn't take it as an attack.... I would like to know what your designer has to say though. I find it interesting.

Np at all.

I am no designer so it's best not to ask me in depth design questions but I will let you know what Peter says about it.

Thanks

Todd

Did he even had a point? I thought it was bs.

without going back to 96-98... i can't remember the last time I saw a completely original design.

doesnt look like a copy
