Good, LayerVault was really just fishing for some free ads.<p>None of LV's claims are true, the graphics is different. You cannot copyright an inspiration and not like LV were first there anyway. A lot of their gfx was inspired by some other work.
Reminds me of a feud we had with a website called ChampionSelect.net<p>Back then my brother and I were huge LoL fans and we decided to build a fansite for the game.<p>You can see it here (it's no longer active):<p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20120506035929/http://www.oracleoflegends.com/" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20120506035929/http://www.oracleo...</a><p>We used Twitter bootstrap for our UI and that other site whined that we copied their style. When they were just using the default styles.
It would be nice if one of the parties of all this would put up a blog post explaining what happened (behind the scenes) and the conclusion to it all (how/why it's back up). It would be nice to see how it was all resolved and the outcome, whether it was good or bad.
I'm just waiting for LayerVault to issue a DMCA takedown against the Art Institute of Chicago for hosting a work which despicably stole their colour scheme back in 1989: <a href="http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/artwork/152758?search_no=4&index=10" rel="nofollow">http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/artwork/152758?search_n...</a>
This is great, but does anyone know what the current status of the actual DMCA takedown is? Has LayerVault rescinded the takedown? What a ridiculous ordeal this is.
You gotto love the answer "I definitely feel your frustration. The tone of this topic is not in line with the civil level of discourse I'd like to maintain here, so I cannot respond."<p>User is (rightly) pissed. Less piss him some more.
