    Now that..

    Is going to be my new Home!! >> yeah....whatever....

    How can you be so aggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!

    This I think is what they call annoying! If your going to use a movie from the movie section, its for de-constructing the file and trying to rebuild the effect/design yourself - that way you learn and not copy!!

    Damn it!

    oh my god, I know this is the internet, but that is shabby. Not even a half arsed attempt at disguise, just blatant theft, AND theft to advertise their cause (I got the advert jist visually, I couldn't read it)...

    It happened to me many times during the years to find ezxact copies of our work (sport sites) from some starnge country somewhere in the world, what always surprise me is that they don't even try to hide it or change it...

    When they copy you it means success, or that they just have a business beginning with the same letter...

    I do not think there are too fussed, they actually posted it to the links engine This really cracks me up, least they changed the words.... I know I don't care and good luck to them! Hope the client wasn't charged too much!

    Ahhh, the net ...The agency I work for had a client, this client was an ad agency... called Lighthaus they knew what they wanted the design to look like...... because the design already existed.
    There is an ad agency called Lighthouse....

    and these are the URLs:

    the original (when making the site we had never seen this!)

    http://www.lighthouse.de/index2.htm

    the copy
    http://www.lighthaus.de

    we discovered this when one of our employees, who didn't know about their silly spelling (light is english and haus is german, wrote lighthouse as url)

    Well, it looks kind of nice, ... Seen it a lot before, in a different language though ...

    But, are we sure no one in here actually sold it to them?

    ???

    No, it just so happens that we're working together...

    We haven't had time to develop individual footers, so we just put something together from stuff we've got. I think GI Joe is working on another one for himself, I guess I'll follow... the question is when.

    cheers!

    ... well, you never know! some member might have thought of it or someone. I don't think that many buyers check the web that much for Flash interfaces. Someone might have promoted it to them in this way?

    ... anyway, if so, that's what I'd call 'easy money' !!!
