When People Steal Your Work
So I got an email today from an awesome reader of the blog. Just read…
Hi guys, just thought I would let you know about this. I recently saw someone placing my own site design in their personal portfolio as something they made and in the comments section of my blog entry on the subject someone noted that one of your designs is in there as well.

First of all, we just want to say thanks to josh for taking the time to warn us of this INSANELY BLATANT copy of our work. It’s really cool to know that designers will actually take care of one another and not allow shady wanna-bes to steal their work without asking. It fact, it was really nice to find out from josh, simply because we think his site and work is bad ass and had not seen it before his email. I guess some good can come out of this right?
In the end though what is a designer to do? Well, it looks like someone (probably josh) sent them over some emails letting them know that stealing wasn’t cool. Now when you head over to http://inclinationstudio.com/ (the people that ripped off our work) all you get is a coming soon. So let that be a lesson to all you fakers, thieves, and con artist. Eventually we are going to find our own work and if not, another designer will. The design community knows how to watch the backs of it’s fellow members. So just do what we did. Work hard, and come up with your own ideas and skills. Your client will thank you.
thanks josh.

Absolutely you’re welcome. It’s good that their home page is offline but the individual pages are still there. Thankfully the search engines don’t seem to be picking them up too much. I’m not even sure if their contact forms are even working.
Thanks for being so gracious. Cheers!
