There’s imitation, which can be flattering, and then there’s outright stealing.

It’s come to our attention that another site out there has stolen copious amounts of copy and design from our site. When we launched back in mid-2010, we certainly looked to other sites for inspiration. But we would never brazenly lift copy, as this site-that-will-remain-nameless (which seemingly launched in late 2012) has done.

Click through for a comparison between Pop Chart Lab’s copy and Brand X’s.

So. Not. Cool.
