I personally see both sides of this...
Being that the internet started out as a bohemian place where everything was
free and people were encouraged to learn off each other, early web design
articles preached that it was right to "steal" ideas from other websites...
Anything to get the net looking good and growing...
I myself have cut and pasted, then altered to suit my needs, other websites
for my own personal (not for profit) use.
On the other hand, now that the Internet is a "place were people are
encouraged to try to get rich quick", and there are those who make a living
out of web design, and from their bought and paid for site designes..... I
can see how the originator of said website would be pissed about the pretty
blatant theft.
I personally wouldn't do more than bitch at the offender, and as was
mentioned, take it as a compliment. But then I don't do websites (either
make or use) for money at the moment. And besides, I suck at it... =)
