Lesson to us: add credits
Crediting someone for their property doesn't make stealing it ok. By default, stealing is wrong. Waiting for an objection and/or linking to the owner doesn't change that. This seems like a problematic worldview for a young company.
- earbitscom 15y agoIt's not stealing, it's copying. 37signals still has their original. Let's get an upvote here because I know everyone in this forum agrees.
- zefhous 15y agoActually, since they are hotlinking to some assets directly from the other site, they are indeed stealing. Also, please don't ask for upvotes or assume that others agree with you.
- earbitscom 15y agoOh, trust me, the upvote request and everything about this comment were filled with deeply engrained sarcasm.
- dissident 15y agoI actually don't care that they copied the design, but that YC actually funded people who thought that was a professional thing to do.
