Look-alike web designs?
Hi,
A couple of years ago, I saw a site that showed examples of web designs (visual) that were almost identical. It was no obvious copying, just the result sheer fluke and the relatively limted ways you actually can design a page/site that had played in. (Some were major companies that wouldn't risk a law suit anyway).
So, no fraudulent stuff.
I have now been searching the web for two days, trying to find that site, but no luck so far.
Does anyone know which site I mean?
TIA
DBest,
Dani

Hi,
Thanks for suggestion. Yes, I know that one. That's for blatant, intentional theft, not sites that accidentally look the same.
I've been going through a couple of hundred web hosting sites, and many of them are pretty much the same: blue theme, a couple of cimputers, a good looking woman, and the various hosting offers in boxes.
I also found e.g. http://www.computer-support.ch/xupport/ and http://www.macosxcocktail.com/ that are quite similar and also competitors...
I think the mission is completed, but if someone spots a couple of examples, it would still be nice to know.
DBest,
Dani

Sometimes the content may be altered to make it appear as original, if you have anything unique in your content or for example if a typographic error, that appears in the stolen version, it should be considered as proof when you're approaching to an intellectual property attorney, for appropriate advice.
