Greetings once again.

I really hate to bring this to people's attention as I don't really enjoy coming down on anyone or wishing anyone bad but I do personally detest ripping design and content from other sites because of pure laziness. I have found yet another possible rip and will let you all be the deciding party.

http://aandmhosting.com/index.html

http://www.softlayer.com

Notice the "red arrow box" is called the same as it is on softlayer. Notice the right menu area as you click through the site like on the about_us page and then look at Softlayers.

Unfortunately it appears to be a rip.

Any feedback?

Softlayer's legal division is aware of this and will be taking this matter further.

Yes, all they've done is changed the header + footer and put it online. Even the pages inside look very similar.

Yup I agree. Lifted it directly from their site and mod'd it slightly to fit their site and plans. It does make you wonder (if indeed they ripped it) if their ethics on site design apply to their service ethics.

It all comes back to you in the end.
