Thanks. It looks like they have a parent company that's been in business for a while. It's odd that an established company would rip-off other people's work lik

  Not that odd. About 5 years ago a certain subsidiary of a megacorp chaired by Uncle Rupert ripped about 60% of one of our sites (including the bugs). Pursuing it became such a circus that after a time our CEO decided the effort was better spent improving our product. This turned out to be a good choice in the end as the impostors went nowhere and we went on to capture > 50% of the market. Edit: Sayeth PG: "The more slavishly someone copies you, the less dangerous they probably are." Experience indicates this is nearly universally true, and today we devote considerably more resources to out-marketing, partnering with or acquiring businesses with winning points of difference.

  My copyright suit was with a major tech corporation that had been in business for 20+ years. They have since gone bankrupt, but it's not at all surprising to me that an established company would do something nasty.

  It reminds me of the AOL.com redesign which was extremely similar to the Yahoo! frontpage at the time. http://i12.tinypic.com/2cyocw9.jpg http://i12.tinypic.com/2cyocw9.jpg
