OP is going overboard with the accusations. http://www.capta360.com http://www.creativegerms.com/about http://pearlwebstudio.com

^None of these people are "copying" him, at least visually. OP did not invent links with vertical scroll or the vertical parallax effect.

OP: Clearly some of the sites outright ripped off your design, but stop trash talking sites with designs you merely think are "similar" to yours.

I thought the same thing, they are pretty different. http://www.capta360.com/ is not even close. Maybe he's saying they use his js

Could you not observe that capta are for a start using the exact same opening image as he is? Without you even noticing that glaring ripoff I doubt your commentary carries any weight. Drink your first cup of empathy and put on a solutions cap if you want any shot at growing. :-)

Don't be a cunt.

OP was mad people were stealing his websites design, not his photography, for all we know they both sourced it from the same image warehouse.

http://www.creativegerms.com/about and http://pearlwebstudio.com are copying the text messages

You're right. OP should make this clear in the post which complains about people stealing the design. I didn't read the copy.

Agreed, the design isn't copied at all imho, parallax and these sort of websites have been around for a 2+ years now.

capta360.com has (very blatantly) copied the background image.
