Shame on Brian for claiming to be a poor developer about to be crushed by a big company (see quote below). I feel like a fool for up voting him. Shame on WhosHere for suing Brian. People are not confusing these two apps. Brian did not steal the WhosHere brand or product. Here's an example of stealing a product, of when it's appropriate to sue: My Facebook app Quiz Monster was cloned by mike onagai (a man from hong kong). He copy pasted my CSS and JavaScript. His app looked exactly like mine. He then started emailing my users with links to his site, claiming to be me. Appbank (a vc funded company) almost did the same thing, they definitely stole my design. The only reason I did not sue is because my product was better and more popular. They didn't seem like a threat. Nowadays I think facebook apps are silly. It must seriously suck to be Appbank or Mike Onagai. They have to make Facebook apps, I get to build whatever I feel like. Also I think stealing fuels innovation. Facebook came from facesmash, a clone of hotornot. So did YouTube. Appbank started as a clone of quiz monster, but they evolved into something better, something original, and innovative. I'm happy for them. > "I was born wealthy; I have an obscene trust fund.
