chiefvalue - Found a website exactly like it - ripped off!

[imported_KuJaX]

Interesting.....

I came across a local computer shop that uses the EXACT same scheme, colors, buttons, and even the TITLE BAR (instead of Chiefvalue.com they have their name).

What do you think this is all about? I know that they have absolutely no affiliation with Chiefvalue, but are using their exact layout! Anyone have a clue?

edit: Just noticed that they are even using ChiefValue's FAVICON!

edit 2/1/2006:
An e-mail from Chiefvalue people when I e-mailed them to ask about copyright issues about this:

"Our website was specially designed by our own web designer and has existed for many years now with its current layout. We do not sell website layout or design. "

They also want the link to the site!


EDIT ONCE AGAIN:

Edit edit edit to the 10th degree:

dabuddha IS SO LEET HE FOUNDZOR THE URL ALL BY HIMSELFZOR!!!!!!!! find his post.

Edit - yet another

Someone should call and act like ChiefValue's lawyer, record it, post here on ATOT, we all have an enjoyable time at someone crapping their pants.

One would assume, by the idiocy of your post, that you're claiming someone "stole" the layout.

most definately not.

I can almost guarentee there is a company that designs web page layouts. Both companies probably purchased from the same place. Shoot at the bottom of ATOT you'll see that this layout is by FuseTale Inc.

It might be interesting if there were links to the two sites.

i'd rather not disclose the url of the company that is doing this to give them traffic. If they are doing this illegally, I sure as heck don't want a ton of people going to their website.

They are a local computer shop where I live.

link to your local computer store?

simple: to see if this was something that was common or even legal.
