Unfortunately, according to the Curebit apology blog, they do in fact admit to stealing, or as they word it: ripping off. Imagine that. Case closed. No need for lawyering, they know what they did and they know it's wrong.

Assuming credit is granted. Creatives work on design to be creative; they don't outright steal it to save time and resources. It's what thy do and witness what happens when you cross them.

My apologies, I did not realize that they either received permission from or licensed design, code and image hosting from 37signals. Or maybe I just choose to ignore your pathetic misdirection and call things as I see them, which couldn't b

Are you offended by the tone? What would you call a person who steals your ideas (no value), steals your work ($$$), steals your bandwidth (~$), passes it all off as their own and then brags about raising money, a venture which was probably

They didn't copy it pixel-by-pixel because they're either too lazy to do so, too stupid to know how or both. And no, there will be no power to them.

When the price of copying and disseminating work is lower than the price of the royalty, a royalty is what people will not pay, never mind full price for the original. It's a simple as that.
