This is why God invented EULAs, into which you have a well paid lawyer insert careful verbiage saying that by using this service you agree not to make a clone of it or we'll sue your ass, and then proceed to sue their asses. I'm betting that most of the clones would shut down rather than pay for ongoing court fees of something that'll be a pretty clear copyright violation (all your UI stuff is copywritten).
- mkrecny 13y agoI feel dumb for not knowing this, but I also know that I wouldn't pursue suing the cloners. Would prefer to learn a little from them, then out-compete.
- ajiang 13y agoThere are a bunch of comments here that say something along the lines of "F the clones, outperform them. Execution beats ideas, etc." While you should absolutely focus on creating the best product and best service, you are doing your business a disservice by not pursuing these routes and giving your business the best chance to succeed. Don't be shy about using the legal system - it's there for many reasons, including to protect rights and provide a just playing field for everyone.
