Well ... how blatant can you get?!! How did you discover this rip-off?
Wish you all success in getting it removed.

How did you discover this rip-off? The (&$% uhhh.... not-so-smart folks not only failed to change the names of some of the images but also failed to remove all of the links I have scattered on those images....It seems they found a link by accident and ---oooppssss---- referrer logs do tell many tales....

Look at it like this.. imitation is the sincereset form of flattery. Perhaps you can get them to hire you for web design?:)

Man, I was slow (not yet awake yet...)
At first I thought FQ was adding some new feature to their site.

DOH!:rolleyes:

Incredible. Really incredible.

Say, maybe they'd like to share some of the design costs with you? Well, it was a thought.

Hee Hee. When I worked for Discovery Health Online, some wrestling news site stole our design... it was incredible. It was taken whole cloth from our site. The logo was a ripoff of the Discovery Health logo... even the copyright notice at the bottom of the page was exactly the same as the copyright notice *we* used, with the words "Discovery Health" removed and "Wrestling News" (or something similar) plugged in.

Talk about stupid. "I'm going to steal everything including the copyright notice from a multi-national media outlet; they can't force me to change designs."

The really funny thing about it was our design at the time was hideous.:D
