(!) Well, I was contacted by a judge from an awards site, he recognized the work as ... familiar. SO! It's 9:40 am my time, I've contacted the owner of the site and tripod, any bets on how long the site will last? Needless to say, it ain't winning no awards! <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> Comments?

I'm never amazed at people ripping other designers off....hell maybe someone will learn along the way.

I am, however, consistently amazed at the DEPTH of the rip, and the idea that they won't get caught.

The guy submitted to an award site? ~shakes head~

Is it steel balls?...or rusted brains?

heh.

It's still there! This is one of the worst points of doing really good work. He managed to stretch the images as well so now they look slightly crap. they're all pixelated.

And Dan, the funniest part of your triple post is that the first two were posted after the third. Have a look! They are 10:54, 10:54 and 10:53 respectivley.

I personally think this person is so impressed by your work, Doc. But the sad thing is he doesn't know how to impress others.

Maybe we should e-mail this guy to show if he had his hands on the the Hands- on Tutes. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">Or, if he had read the Copyright notice.

But this guy is funny, don't you guys thing so?

It's amusing to see this person steal someone else's work and then have the gall to stick a copyright notice up like it's his own work. Plus, he's a design company? Do you think he got any clients as a result of this? Hah. I doubt it.

Darn! Why do I always come to these sites just after they've been taken down?

Anyone want to summarize what he had done? What did he copy?

The mere idea of him claiming Doc's work as his own is just pathetic. Though I'm not, in the slightest, caught off guard by it. Doc's stuff is good, really good. Stealing good. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

Slime, you and I are in the same boat. Apparently this guy took Doc's tutorials (or work? Unclear at the moment) and claimed it all as his own, with a copywrite and everything. LOL...

See folks, that's a gene pool that needs to be drained and filled with cement, asap. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">
