ok what is actually considered as ripping??? i dont get that
and how can ripperhunting make u take the template off if u ripped someones template??

Ripping is using artwork or concepts without intellectual rights to said content, acheived through purchase or creation of the material, or through authorization from the author.

Pretty simple concept... if you didn't buy it, create it yourself, or get permission from the person who made it, you're ripping it.

There are different degrees though... an outright rip is frowned upon or even illegal, whereas a similarity invoked by simple admiration of a particular style happens on a daily basis.

what if u make everything from scrach BUT the order of the blocks/content boxes is the same as some other site??
like fore example if someone made a site with the same order of content boxes like p2l but a diferent layout diferent colors and everythign would that be called ripping??

Not at all... my layout is pretty standard, which is why many people think that P2L is a PHPNuke site at first.

Yea hes right only time you really cannot rip is when there is a Copright over it and the person who made it says no if you ask them if it has a copyright, but the user who made says yes then you could but keep the copy right on there..

This is not correct actually... the author of said goods does NOT have to have the copyright information posted. Any intellectual property company owned is automatically copyright whether it's posted or not.

rippers are stupid in my opinion, worse than hackers in my eyes

hackers can bring down entire countries, but at least they've some kinda knowledge when they go it

rippers just simply take things, they don't make something or do something thats their own

[JamesPickens]

I agree wit Jay. and i didnt read all of fakens last post but, on the official site of copyright (i dont know link)

It says that you dont have to have the copyright there, by posting it to the web its automatically copyrighted, this includes graphics, images, poems, writings, lyrics, ect.. anything.

and even if u do manage to get boxes same as P2L you wont ever be able to get it exactly alike. too much time n shit. and it wotn look as good + u will be known for a double template or u will jus be wasting ur time cause people may think u ripped (if its good enough)

[UnideN]

Yea your right if he did make them alike people would think hes ither ripping them and then make people leave his site :\
