Lame.

Oh my gosh, my design has been stolen.

Hey Greg, you suck. But thanks for keeping the original copyright link. *Sigh*.

Updated: I’m no longer providing the link to the website, since its author made public apologizes. However, I kept a screenshot of the stolen design.

That sucks man…but at least you know that there are people out there who really like your work huh?

I assume you have emailed him? Has he responded?

You could almost see it as a compliment…almost.

His rip isn’t even any good. He hasn’t got your images, and your links to Elyste and Anticubed as still there!

I still don’t know what’s better: your design being stolen by someone, or your design being featured in a “The most ugliest web designs” gallery ;)

Greg has just blown it for him self on the Internet. What a jerk! But look at the bright side – only the good designs are getting stolen, like Shaun Inman’s your trial has expired.

I’m really sorry for you Rémi, but lighten up and keep doing your good work.

Hi everybody, I’m THE greg :)

Firstly, I want to explain me.. I didn’t plan to use the exomel Design that everybody appreciate, because it’s not my job… I only wanted to test the code CSS, to inspirate me.

I’m really sorry for whether I made a mistake, but you coul see that I left the copyright.

Excuse me Remi, really sorry. Hope that you believe me.

From the copyright page:

You sure didn’t get an explicit authorization.

Excuse me, I should ask you whether I could test your CSS code. I only wanted to see how I could resolve some problems that I met.

But I can assure you that I’ve never wanted to steal you Remi.

Sorry again

Why would you publicly display someone elses work without permission, with or without the copyright tag?

I can see maybge getting the design to see how fiz did something, and then possibly placing your workings in a subdir, not known to anyone but you to see how it looks. (I say this because I have about 8 designs from other sites on my home server that I mess with when I get bored) But putting them in public view without permission is more disrepectful than not putting the copyright information in.

Besides, why would you want fiz’s design, it sucks ;p

I was going to steal this design too, but now I’m not so sure… ;-)
