Too bad for webmaster who were stealing idea from another site - Look !

Hello !

I love Hotscripts because I can come here to download the free script - read the free code to learn PHP - Perl to improve my skill. This is a way how I teach myself PHP & Perl

I admit that some code were used on my site were not mine but I never use that code to create a similar program and sell it to the public with the lower price. Don't you think it is too bad for webmaster who are doing this?

Lets talk about the program idea - You saw a cool script with cool design at Hotscript Directory, then you may buy it to use on your site OR if you know PHP - Perl you can create the similar program and use your script on your site only (YOU CANNOT SELL YOUR SCRIPT TO THE PUBLIC WITH A LOWER PRICE THAN THE ORIGINAL ONE ) - Am I right ?

Here is a example :

ImageFolio is a powerful Image Gallery - everybody knew that was great.
http://demo.imagefolio.com/demo/cgi-...imageFolio.cgi

@Card ME is coolest postcard script - I've bought it for my client before.
http://cgi2k.com/postcards/index.php

And now let see the clone
http://mojosoft.net/demo/ezcard/ezca...2.1/ezCard.cgi

They don't care about re-use ImageFolio's button - the way they made the gallery look like exactly ImageFolio (when I first saw it, I thought ImageFolio has a mirror site)

Now, try to pick a thumbnail image to send ecard
http://mojosoft.net/demo/ezcard/ezca...ID=2679&file=1

Look like they stole the idea from @Card ME (select Card Theme - Java Applet - Use my own Poem ...exactly)

Nice try to mix between ImageFolio & @Card ME -

Another clone : Midi-Card:
http://www.yazaport.com/kadfors/kwam...ards/index.cgi

They even copy @Card ME sample images What the heck - I can't believe it - it's free for download

Don't you think - it's so bad?
Kevin

Yes but if I'm not mistaken, Jeff Lewis and Joseph Fung (starters of YaBBSE, php version of YaBB) worked on the original YaBB, and definatley had permission from Zef Hemel, creator of YaBB.

Well before opening your moth please make sure you have all the fact, since I ever have seen the code in @CardME I'm pretty sure Midi-Card is not an clone, yes sure I may have ripped some ideas from other script when I made it, but HELLO! all cars has wheels...
All musicians got influenced by eatchothers... and so on...

Since no images are included in midi-card i having a hard time understanding how i can have stolen them and added them to mine app.


So once again, please do not accuse anyone b4 you have all the facts!!
