is it ethically wrong to steal a design from a spammer? - CE CASH and NICHEDCASH
 

i get this in my spam email.. i saw the geocities link so i loled and decided to check it out...

i like the design

can i steal it?

:pimp


and

i dont think its copyrighted anyway

but i think you should hand him a few bucks for it

If it's an adult webmaster using geocities, chances are the design is stolen from someone else already.

99% of the time they stole it from someone else anyway

That's already stolen. At least the main part with the tables and cells for each site. The rest isn't really a design. Actually none of it is. Kind of more of a "layout" than a design.

The tables though are used by a sponsor somewhere. I know I've seen it, but I don't feel like hunting it down.
