I have a slight problem with another new xanga designer. Without mentioning names, this designer has been looking at my layouts and designing her own that are very similar in both design and originality. When I say similar, I mean the same sort of layout, featured pictures, fonts and general idea.
I feel kinda depressed about this, after all my layouts take days to think up, design and code. I understand that imitation is the highest form of flattery; but since this designer's layouts are so similar to mine and are also designed in a quarter of the time and for public use; I'm a little angry. I have also caught this designer using my stylesheet - but forgiven and offered what support I can, as long as my stylesheet is not used. I'm not sure where this topic be best suited, but thought I'd post it in here for some advice from other designers. Is this copyright infringement? Or just admiration taken a little too far? |
