Here we go again...

…found another site that borrows heavily from ours. Compare the two pages and you will see the many similarities. There’s a few copy differences though; I’m guessing AJL doesn’t use a Mac as he’s neatly changed that reference to just ‘Computer’. That’s about as good as it gets though, I mean come on — the navigation naming and general layout is a bit too similar. Maybe in his links section he should add a new category called ‘Currently stealing…’

Maybe we should be flattered? Nah, fuck it - email sent. 

...and he's got the cheek to put 'copyright Andrew Lohman' at the bottom!

I'm sorry, but flattery is one thing - plagiarism is another. The navigation naming and layout aside, the copy is a blatant rip-off! If I wished to borrow ideas from a site (not copy - write your own you lazy git) I'd email them and ask if they minded first - simple courtesy is nice, but seemingly too rare these days.
Dear TAK!

I want to personally apologize for blatantly stealing the content from your website. This is cowardly, lazy, unoriginal and down right embarrassing. I was unaware that this was happening but I take full credit and make no excuses. I will change what needs to be changed. Once again I apologize for the inconvenience and time you had to spend dealing with this inconsiderate issue.

Sincerely,
Andrew Lohman
