Help us digg this and learn this guys a lesson .

This afternoon i get a call from Veljko, my friend and partner at DevPulse saying: "guess what someone ripped our site, please log on ICQ, you must see this."

Now that was a shocker

While i waited for icq to connect, i thought that someone probably has seen our site at cssmania.com or some other gallery, and modified our design in some way. But, boy I was wrong.

And there it was:
www.vibe-industries.nl/index.html

Upon first look i did not even see any major resemblance except that place where logo stands, but more that I looked more things i noticed.
-Structure is basically the same.
-Header and footer are same height as on original site.
-Header background is same as on original site.
-Footer colors are not changed at all.
etc...

Then i looked at the source code...

Now this was priceless, i mean should i even comment on this?

http://www.vibe-industries.nl/index.html

Or even this?

And we have a winner:

Here is what I'm talking about,take look by your self.

It was by far the worst and most amateur case of site rippoff that i ever seen in my life.
And it happened to us

Now what i want from you is to spread this link and/or digg this story.
They did not ask me when they ripped our site, so I'm not even gonna try to contact them, they will find out sooner or later.
Let this public humiliation be a lesson to them.

p.s.

to guys at vibe-industries.nl,
if someone else designed your site that does not take responsibility off you, you should always give important job like this to some professional and not to someone who did this.
