"The Hacker Way" is no excuse to steal. Your intentions are irrelevant. Unless somebody has clearly stated you can reproduce their creative work you shouldn't, nor should you want to. Please do not use the guise of a 'hacker mentality' to mask your lazy and disrespectful actions.

Good artists copy, great artists steal?

  Good artists copy, greats artists steal and make that they've stolen their own. We are all influenced by the same things, it's what you do with that influence that matters.

    Why do I think that by your tone and anonymity you are the offended designer?
    - j_c 15y ago
      I'm a designer (and developer, depending on the task). Not the designer.

        So, are you a good designer, or one who's work has never been used by others?
