was wondering lately i've seen designs that look very similiar to other designs so i was wondering, what is the best thing to do when you catch someone stealing your material/ideas/codes/designs or structures for their own uses or sites?
what if they are using your stuff but credit you? what if they are using your stuff and alter the credits? what if they are using your stuff and remove the credits? **normally i email them or comment on the site and tell them to take it off or i'll talk to their hosting services xD that's the best i got, and if their ashamed of what they did, they put the credits up or completely change everything before next sunrise. some are rude enough to slander & object the claim when clearly the material is stolen. |

^ As strange as your post is, I can understand. There have been plenty of times that a person will claim credit for something they didn't design, and when the designer steps in and tries to get them to stop it gets ugly. The person who took the design can fight and claim it's theirs and the real designer could lose credibility.
