The wall of shame
Published on 11.21.09
Tim van Damme is famous for bringing the simple landing page back in fashion.
As with all things awesome, his website has been copied numerous times by lazy design thieves. Obviously, Tim doesn’t approve.
So to tackle the bull by the horns, and have fun in the process, Tim decided to list perpetrators’ sites on the WALL OF SHAME.
Good for him, I personally think it’s a great initiative for any non-commercial site. But I wonder if he’s tried contacting the sites’ owners with a Cease and Desist letter?

Remember seeing this as a tutorial on someone’s site, so that people are gonna follow that tutorial and use the design isn’t that weird.
I found this one to be very amusing.

Thank you Xevo. I’d love to see that tutorial you mention.
The link you provided is indeed amusing:
“Good artists borrow, great artists steal.

If I were a client, I’d never hire Santiago Sarceda with this kind of attitude, he is just asking for copyright infringement trouble.
