I have the pleasure of watching someone copy my site. It is a near exact copy, the only changes made so far are link colors ... everything else is identical. He even left my RE_INVIGORATE code in there, which it totally screwing up my stats for the past two days.

I didn't do anything, yet. Just taking incremental screenshots to see where he is going with it. I kinda want him to finish it, so that I can nail his ass ... or should I just e-mail him now.

Thanks.

any copyrights in your code?

edit: and here's a suggestion for the future. i assume your code is probably very well laid-out and human-readable, which is a commendable thing, to be sure. however, when you post it on the web, and the code is cool, people are going to dig into it to see how you did things. that happened after a couple of redesigns on my site. imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but when someone obviously not as skilled as you hacks up your code, you get a little perturbed. one thing i used to do was run a sed script on the copy of my code i planned to upload to the server, to remove all spaces and tabs and newlines.

this basically makes the code very annoyingly human un-readable, yet the browsers have no trouble with it at all.

My CSS although a mess (I constantly change and tweak) it, is pretty well commented and presented. No copyright in there, I do have a small note on my site saying that you can look buy don't copy it outright.

I don't want to make my code non-human readable, because I like to offer people an opportunity to look ... since it is a learning experience. Plus that would make it more difficult for me to edit things.

I will shame him, which is why I am giving him an opportunity to either change it on his own or finish it for a good ass whipping from my side.

I hate that.

Don't let it worry you, Its quite flattering really.

It wouldn't make it harder to edit things as you'd have a non-muxed version of the code as well. Oh well, just a suggestion.
