That is laughable.



No, I think the work would have to show a lot of creativity unqiue to the design; as I said earlier this particular design is not something "Unique"; ive seen many similiar type of site layouts.

Something unique to me.. would be like worldofwarcraft.com etc; something not like any other site layout you have seen.

In any case, if he copied your layout pixel for pixel as erwin said I would consider that an infringement and breaking the law.

However if as I stated earlier he created his own work inspired from what hes seen ie. your style I dont believe there would be anything anyone could do about it; not they really could anyway...

ps. I do like the style however and am using it now on Vbulletin.org; am not punning your work.

"However if as I stated earlier he created his own work inspired from what hes seen ie." Again, no it is not inspired, he even said it himself. But you're right there is probably little to nothing that can or will be done. The only thing that can be done is for him to be true to his word and remove or change the style (customize it distinctly different) once he heard from the admins (which he now has).
