Photo 11 Mar 7 notes themeforest: MetaLab Goes Open Source? “We get ripped off a lot. I often spot a button image that’s been repurposed, or a layout that’s just a little bit too inspired by a previous design we’ve done. Generally, we find it really flattering and have a good laugh - if nothing else, it makes us feel that we’re probably doing something right if people are so eager to plagiarize. But earlier today a friend linked me to Mozilla’s new JetPack design and my jaw dropped. “The design goes well beyond imitation - they literally copied images straight off of our site.” What is your response?
