Furthermore the layout and and placement of graphic and content elements are the same. Say what you want about stealing, but no one can argue that the Scarsdale site is a copy of the theloop or at the very least it was heavily influenced by it... It's way beyond "coincidence". The least they could have done was mix up the layout a little bit. BTW—Copyright violation does not require intent. If you independently develop an idea someone else already owns, no matter how innocently, you're still in violation.. The two sites are identical in purpose.

It’s way beyond “coincidence”.

Not surprisingly, the author is the only commenter in the history of this blog who failed to leave a working return email address, or any other legitimate contact information. The comments are meant for discussion, not cowardly dumping and running. If you'd like to be part of the conversation, you need to play by the rules. Otherwise, you get ignored.

Now, I don't know much about copyright law either - but stealing code is akin to stealing anything else (ethically, legally, morally). Has the recession robbed us of our moral compass?
