To Rip is Inhuman, To Err Divine
by Michael Peralta on June 06, 2008, 11:57:00 AM

To rip is inhuman…

Web design plagiarism (or purposefully stealing a web site’s code, layout and/or other elements) has been a very hot topic back at the ol’ hangout.

How is it wrong?

Ethically speaking, it is benefiting from another designer’s hard work sans permission and compensation. Design theft, put simply, is the worst crime any web designer can commit, and only serves to showcase the designer’s lack of creative skills.

The web is not as big as we think it might be. If you are merely view-sourcing a website to debug and learn new tricks then there won’t be any problem with that. But to totally reuse a website by merely substituting text and graphics and/or executing the layout down to the minutest detail then that is tantamount to doing the bunny-foofoo in a minefield. Remember that despite the size of the web, there is a great chance that the pirate’s site will be spotted and will be on every web designer’s crosshairs.

To err divine…

I’ve spent much too many years slaving on designs and mucking around in the black hole we call designer’s cramp. As with other designers, I’ve churned out mediocre, if not badly executed sites. Some were just simply badly executed. The rest… well, the clients’ smiles are enough for me. There were mistakes made along the way. But I’m still proud of the fact that they were my brainchildren (and there WERE a few ugly ducklings).

Fishing for inspiration is as hard as trying to fish for a compliment from your older sibling. Try thinking out of the box. Remember that each website and each designer has their own different goals. Take it from there.

I feel for web designers whose works/codes are being used by others (who obviously don't have the same talent and skills) and is not being given credit for their work..

There has been an instance when designers submit their works so that others can use them on their site and they only ask that credits be given to them.  but some lame ducks will take out any links/credits pertaining to the designer.  It was a pity because the guy was so talented and is not asking any fee for his works, he just quit doing themes.  He definitely had enough. This designer is known in the wordpress community.  I'm not sure if he is still doing themes for wordpress. 

I don't know if it's ego or what, but it is only right to give credit where credit is due.  Stealing someone else's work/codes and pretending that it is your own is such a loser's attitude!
